The books were cooked, sent an additional 9 Democrat Congressman to Washington. Republicans need to be more proactive instead of reactive to Democrat fraud.

there's no way to tell from the article provided (nor any links within) to discern whether they would elect D's or R's, nor which areas of said states were undercounted to determine the majority of political registrations.
However, if one wishes, they can go directly to the Post Enumeration Survey, which was released in May.
Here's the first part of that article(small enough to be fair use)
"The Trump administration spent an extraordinary amount of time and effort messing with the census over four years. Its apparent aim: It wanted to exclude undocumented immigrants from population counts, thereby allowing Republicans to draw more favorable maps in redistricting and gain more ground in the House.
The effort ultimately failed. And it now seems possible that these efforts might have played a role in costing red states seats."

What the OP shared has been rehashed on pg. 9 of all newspapers for the past 2 months. They completely messed around with the analysis of the data given and gave more seats to the D's.
Is it because Republicans don't fill out the census or a concerted effort to cheat by the ruling class who's goal is to disarm us? Maybe the article is BS? One of three options.
Nothing to do with who filled out what. They basically fudged numbers, on an analysis over/undercounting populations with 15% error rates. It was a complete fraud.

Texas 21st had 100,000 more votes than at least 27 of Texas 36 seats. When they drew the new map, they created a safe seat in Austin that will still be projected to get more votes than 22/36 seats.
On top of that, Williamson County is not split between 4 congressional districts.

You mean D leaning States, not D's.
For example, the Minnesota seat that would have got the X would have been a Republican one, Same with NY as those are the under populated seats.

The apportionment is based on actual count, as required by the Constitution. Using statistical analysis would result in better numbers, but the courts have said that only the actual count data can be used.
The rush put on the Census by Trump, along with cutting off the count early made it impossible for the Census takers to complete all of their follow ups. There was no fraud.

What's an undocumented immigrant? They are illegal aliens and shouldn't be counted in our census as they aren't lawfully in our country.
"Undocumented immigrant" came from the article. Ask the Washington Post what they meant, I can't speak for them.
The Constitution requires an "actual enumeration" of everyone present in the United states. Whether or not the 2020 Census should have a citizenship question went to the Supreme Court which said that such a question was permissible, but the Department of Commerce, which is the department where the Census Bureau resides, waited too long to change the process, and held that the question could not be added to the 2020 Census.
In any case, everyone in the US gets counted, regardless of status.
