It's official. YOUR government is trying NOT to enforce the law. Truly disgusting.

[absolootezer0]

actually, not a bad idea. let census bureau gather data on illegals.. where they live, how many they are, etc... then pass data to ICE.

if they start raiding during the census, people may be less cooperative.

[popdonnelly]

Somehow, I don’t think illegals want to be included in the Census. It would make more sense to have ICE do the counting.

The Constitution requires the Census Bureau to count everyone, including illegal immigrants, in the census. The once-a-decade population count is then used to apportion seats in Congress and to appropriate billions of dollars in federal spending each year.

Political power gained by the population increase and a bigger share of Federal apportionments.
This is what the politicians and bureaucrats in power are allowing US citizens to be undercut, stolen from, harassed, and murdered for.

Why is it the Census Bureau’s job to count illegals? That count should have no bearing on the representation and benefits alloted to legal citizens. It seems to me that counting illegals is precisely ICE’s job.

So should the police stop arresting criminals because the Census Bureau wants to make sure then get counted?

The answer will be: NO! Or at least it should be. Immigration enforcement should be prioritized higher than the Census count.

Also the Dims need to know how many new voter registration cards to print!

WHAT Raids?

[Obie Wan]

Another ploy by the White House to keep their “buddies” here in the country ???

[SmoothTalker]

Extra congressional seats could be going to states that have the most criminal aliens under this policy. Not good. Not that most illegals would allow a census person in i’d think. Those folks ain’t exactly fond of government officials who aren’t giving handouts.

[bilhosty]

“The Census Bureau wants immigration agents to suspend enforcement raids during the 2010 census so the government can better count illegal immigrants.”

This is a joke right? Where are these people heads? Stored in the pantry.

[LIConFem]

Senseless Bureau.

[MrB]

Do notice that they said that it would be harder to get Immigration to “give them a break” during 2010 than it was during 2000.

There is a lot of grassroots pressure to do something about the illegals this time around, which was NOT present during 2000.

[NewHampshireDuo]

Massachusetts, for one, wants them included so that they don’t lose one of their sterling congress-critters.

[Martins kid]

Stop raids so that there are more illegals to say they are legitmate Americans. No Way!

[Uncle Miltie]

If you can COUNT them you can ARREST and DEPORT them.
