Comments on: Obama Census Bureau To Count Illegal Aliens in Census? http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2009/10/12/obama-census-bureau-to-count-illegal-aliens-in-census/ Beating Them With Their Own Sickle And Hammer Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:23:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: kerwin http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2009/10/12/obama-census-bureau-to-count-illegal-aliens-in-census/comment-page-1/#comment-127586 kerwin Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:09:04 +0000 http://www.stoptheaclu.com/?p=28401#comment-127586 This is a court case waiting to happen if anyone has a lawyer that is well versed on the U.S. Constitution. I have read the U.S. Constitution 14th Amendment which is open to interpretation but the idea of counting the same person in two different states because the happen to be visiting one state while living in the other is rather absurd. The same could be said of aliens whether illegally here or not. So do you count a person in the country they are a citizen or the country they are visiting, even if they have lived in the later a period of time?

About 40 percent of the country’s Hispanics are not citizens; packing as many of them as possible into single districts creates conglomerations of people who can’t pick their representatives.

Count on it: non-citizens?even illegal aliens?are included in the Census. Think this affects the political system? National Review 2003 http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_23_55/ai_n13610365/ ... Consider California's 31st congressional district, where 41 percent of the inhabitants are non-citizens. Last year, Xavier Becerra--one of the most leftwing members of Congress--carried it by attracting fewer than 55,000 votes, despite its population of 639,000. Too late they are already counted.

However, they should be counted ONLY for that purpose, not for divvying up representation or monies or anything else. Strictly for the numbers and their costs.
