At one time I worked for the county government. I learned about the Peter Principle real fast.
sorry, puter hiccuped.
This has to be the most succinct statement regarding agency-level attitudes regarding illegal immigration.

It happens now; Calimexia gets the most.
Census results determine, among other things, congressional redistricting and the amount of federal money states and municipalities get from the government. Why should states be awarded for harboring illegal immigrants? Counting illegals is simply wrong, and skews the results. It can affect the congressional representation of legal citizens. The entire system is corrupt, and the Census Bureau is nuts.
The Census Bureau can go suck it.
And it does one more thing. It increases Protected Class fractions in the census, so that the ethnic hustler organizations and the EEOC can force the government to pass out more goodies based on race and ethnicity.
In other words, it enables disproportionate discrimination against the native white population, for the benefit of individuals in groups who have no past grievance that they can point to - after all, they aren't from this country!
One more reason that La Raza, the Rats, and the RINO gang want them to be counted.
In addition to having 'representation' they don't deserve.
guess what we don’t want the illegals counted. In fact I think the we n our side of the blogosphere should spread the word that the illegals are going to be identified by the census people and deported.
Good point about the Protected Class issue, the very concept of which is a joke.
And I would say that it absolutely does.
Does the Constitution REALLY require the Census Bureau to count non-citizens in the census?
Answer from the American People to the Census Bureau,
"NUTS"
No, it is something that Congress required. I think someone has introduced legislation that would prohibit the Census Bureau from counting them, and I would sure get on that bandwagon.
Is this the legislation you were thinking of? Sounds like a good idea to me.
Illegal TOURISTS do not count as residents!
That sound like it, but I was thinking it was a woman. The current Census rules written by Congress are in Title 13 of the U.S. Code. I don’t believe they would have to change the Constitution, just the law, because obviously the Framers didn’t intend that, for instance, tourists and visitors should be counted. At some point our country seems to have launched its common sense into space. Given the current no border enforcement situation, maybe an amendment isn’t such a bad idea.
Why not let them use the Census to catch illegals. Then the illegal count for the Census is 0 and they dont have as much paperwork.
Absent that permit your census workers face paying exhorbitant tickets and sometimes even towing costs for a $10 an hour job.
Simply class them as “tourists”. Tourists are not counted in the decennial census.
Last census an overwhelmingly large percentage of the “undocumented tourists” complied with the census questionnaire.
