"NEWARK, N.J. — A nationwide group of Latino ministers has a message for illegal immigrants: Stand up, but refuse to be counted in the 2010 U.S. census.
The National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders is urging undocumented immigrants to boycott the census — which is used to calculate everything from federal funding to congressional representation — unless Congress first passes immigration reform."

Fine by me. I would rather we didn’t apportion congressional seats based on non-citizens anyway, which is what will happen if they’re counted.
Stand up, but don’t be counted... heck, the census bureau will just guesstamate the whole count anyway.
Hey, this is a good thing. ACORN can’t use them to stuff the vote.
I’m not seeing a downside here....
They’re at it again PING!
Neither am I.
Just that insinuation of blackmail. Kickin down the door.
I’m Latino and I’m SICK OF THIS! I don’t want to be classified as Latino, I’M AMERICAN! I don’t want Latino political empowerment, I WANT POLITICIANS WHO ARE LOOKING OUT FOR AMERICANS!
This is great. How can we encourage this boycott? Red states would gain at least 10 House seats.
It doesn’t matter if they boycott or not. Democrats will just use statistical sampling to create numbers anyway. More lies, damn lies and statistics.
That’s what I think. Bambi has so politicized the census that there’s little point in participating.
I was thinking the same thing.. good enough for Latinos good enuff for me.... but on the same thought I thought they were all in the shadows..
You need to get the word out to your peeps. 76% seem to prefer Socialism.

There's nothing wrong with being proud of where your family comes from, but I'm also proud that I was born in the greatest country in the world, and I WILL NOT stand behind a movement that is tearing it down!
Unless your family is a bunch of criminals and thiefs, I wouldn’t be ashamed.
In case no one has told you lately, you’re on the *right* side. All you can do is encourage others to join you.
Best of luck.
You know what we have here congress wil make up a number any numbet that works for the democrook party.
Good for you. I applaud you and your attitude.
More anti-American hate from the La Raza/The Race/Hispanic Ku Klux Klan crowd.
Every illegal should be deported
