THe ICE agents should do the Census count. Any crimmigrants they come across can be deported immediately.

The Constitution requires the Census Bureau to count everyone, including illegal immigrants, in the census, never to breach oaths of office, nor shall the Census Bureau suborn waiving defense and protection of the Constitution and its lawful Citizenry as it fulfills its mandate.

On Lou Dobbs’ show tonight they asked the salient question: Why should CA keep getting more representation in Congress because of all the Mexican squatters, while a state like PA loses representation because it only has US citizens? Good question indeed.

I don’t know if it’s still on but the racial classification of “Hispanic” was supposed to be dropped from the U.S. Census in 2010. “Hispanic” encompasses African descendants, Asians, Caucasians, Native Americans and ethnic mixtures.

Immigration agents informally agreed to cooperate with the Census Bureau during the 2000 census by not conducting any large-scale raids, said Waite and Kenneth Prewitt, who directed the Census Bureau during the 2000 count. In effect they agreed to do next to nothing, which is exactly what they were doing, before, during and after the 2000 Census.

I don't want there to be any question in the American people's mind as to whether or not ICE would suspend enforcement efforts, Nantel said. The answer to that is emphatically no.
They may be lying to us, but at least they are pretending that they want to do the correct thing.

The Constitution requires the Census Bureau to count everyone, including illegal immigrants, in the census. Where exactly in the Constitution does it say that?

Who came up with that BS that the Census Bureau has Constitutional power? There’s no Census in the Constitution.

Here's the actual text of the Constitution regarding the census:
The Constitution includes the phrase "[An] Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."
Contrast this with what the writer of the article asserts:
The Constitution requires the Census Bureau to count everyone, including illegal immigrants, in the census.
Plainly the Constitution does not require that illegal aliens be counted if Congress directs that they not be.
They author of this article is either completely, embarassingly ignorant of what the US Constitution says, or he's a liar.
My money is on the latter.

Thank you!
Anything that purports to be a Federal office or bureau had better FIRST AND FOREMOST be (originalist) Constitutional, else it has no right to exist or act, whether or not originally mandated in the Constitution.

The Census is supposed to be counting citizens of this country.
Frankly, I think the census department could be eliminated. The Constitutional count could be done by counting births and immigration against deaths and emigration, once the borders are sealed.

Any crimmigrants they come across can be deported immediately. I prefer the term "illegrants". It just rolls off the tongue.

We won't entertain any request to scale back our efforts, Well if they scaled them back anymore than what they've put out the last 6 years, they would not be doing anything.
