Most illegal aliens certainly do turn in Census forms; remember, citizenship status is not one of the questions asked, and the information gathered about individuals is not released for 70 years. Check out the Hispanic population in South Texas and West Texas—no way that it would be anywhere near as high if illegal aliens weren’t turning in their forms.

I'm in Texas and I just had lunch in a solid Mexican joint. Myself and my buddy were the only 2 whites in the place. The joint was bustling with Mexicans on their lunch break. Afterwards, I stepped outside and was swarmed by Mexicans coming and going. For a brief moment I felt a flash of fear up my neck. Because I was raised in a violent neighborhood and know how to smell trouble. But then a gentleness came about the area. Mexicans were propped against the wall, talking next to their cars. I realized something about this entire group of Mexicans around me. They all had jobs. They were all working. They were all on their lunch break.

Contrast that with another segment of American culture who prefers to lounge around on the government dime and not work. I'd take any number of Mexicans (legal or not) over that crowd of inbred slobs.

I would be surprised if they weren't being counted somehow in Texas - Texas has been a minority-majority state for some time, with whites making up 45% of the state, Hispanics 38%, and African-Americans 12. Anybody who lives here and who travels around the state might even think those numbers are off and that the Hispanic population is higher than 38%.
