   Unbelievable. However, I like the fact that the Dumbocrats are unmasking themselves in full view of the public. I can’t imagine that even the liberals in California would think that this is a good idea after what’s happened to Los Angeles.

   This is another good talking point issue for the election.

   Full view of the public? Been eating too many smoked turkey legs?

   Bro, the public will not be made aware of this unless the bloggers (thanks Michelle) blog it. Then, the people who really care about what is going on will have to imform themselves.

   The MSM will not come within a thousand feet of this one. Besides, Brittney is fighting for her children and Dave made Paris cry.

    The two party system in America is splitting into international socialists (liberal progressive Democrats aka communists) and laissez faire social capitalists (Tax and spend Republicans. I know – a contradiction in terms). Unfortunately, the folks who really want a democratic constitutional republic are increasingly in the minority.

    Boxer, Clinton, Obama just want to push their international socialist/communist “it takes a village” agenda a bit quicker but regardless the trends are toward a socialistic republic over the next few decades. America will be Europeanized. Don’t get too upset when the unemployment rates are double digit and there is little discretionary income to buy a better house or better car. Oh, let’s not forget, you won’t really be able to start a business to better yourself as it will be just too darned expensive and there will be a blizzard of regulations.

    The problem is that most illegals will not respond to the census takers questions because they fear they will be turned in and deported … as a result the census takers “estimate” the number of people in those residences as if they had gotten real answers …

    Personally I see no reason to give a hoot how many illegals are not properly counted …

    The reason for the census being accurate is so that it can be used as a basis to allow for realignment of the number of representatives in the house for legal citizen voters …

    Since the illegals aren’t supposed to be able to vote they should have no bearing on the numbers used to reapportion the seats in Congress …

    no right to vote = no right to representation …

    Don’t let these libs reward the sanctuary cities and states for breaking the law by giving them more votes in the Congress …

    So let me get this straight, even though they aren’t citizens and can’t vote, the number of illegal immigrants in a state will effect the reapportionment of its congressional delegation? Isn’t that then giving them a benefit of citizenship? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

    On October 8th, 2007 at 4:23 pm, DesertLover said:

    So, where exactly is the incentive to enforce immigration laws if by NOT enforcing them, states have more people – hence they have more representatives in Congress?

    Self-perpetuating dilemna….

    I also see that they HAVE stopped enforcing agressively in several previous census taking years…. Nice to know…

    At a time when we’re stepping up our enforcement – we should now ‘draw down’ so we can accurately count the numbers of illegals here…

    Here’s a solution – assign the task of census taking to ICE – kill 2 birds with one stone.

    I’m sorry but is this nothing more than legitimizing the bent wrist enforcement by the Bush Administration and Mr. Lettuce head. The other thing, using a transient criminal segment of the population as a basis for congressional allocations does not pass the smell test. Especially now that the estimate of illegals is not 12 million as postulated by “our” government but may in fact be more like 38 million. Damm, and the Grey Hound bus I designed was to deport 20 million. Oh well, just need a bigger bus.

    Tuesday Greetings Mrs. Malkin and loyal community. Thank you Mrs. Malkin for your eagle-eyed attention to the nefarious initiatives of our junior Senator from California. Always if I would point out the ill-doings of senators from other states, I must be mindful of the plank in California’s own eye. As I have noted before with the machinations of Sen. Dick Durbin, the term “gerrymander” entered the American political lexicon almost 200 years ago through the tortured political districting done then in Massachusetts. Even then career politicians wanted to select their voters by whatever means possible, rather than themselves be subject to the unfettered purview of the electorate. If one is mindful that multiterm Senators Barbara Boxer and Dick Durbin and like-minded colleagues are loyal to themselves and their political connections, and not at all to our country, then their intent to build their optimum voter base through wholesale importation from abroad can be understood. Much appreciate the persistent efforts of Mrs. Malkin and various members of her loyal community in calling public attention to these maneuvers in the shade.

    Article I, Section 2 of the US Constitution outlines the Census, and it does not (sadly) limit its application to citizens:

    Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual 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.

    So, interesting to note that non-citizens should count as no more than 3/5 … so every 5 million illegals would count as only 3 million = still substantial. Now, last time around, there was all sorts of talk about “extrapolating” the numbers of those who weren’t really counted (homeless, those out of the country, etc), so how much do we bet that process would get expanded? Also, wouldn’t this simply give the INS a nice list of unregistered aliens, with names and addresses? Seems like this is just bad on every possible level. That being the case, most illegals wouldn’t want to be counted and the liberals would holler even louder to be allowed to “extrapolate” their state’s numbers, based of course simply on their own greed for power.

    The answer for California: Arnold for the Senate.

    Mngirl… Arnold is rhino and almost as bad as Boxer and Feinstein. We need someone like the California State Senator Tom McClintock. He’s California’s only true conservative.

    How about we stop providing social services to illegals until we’ve counted them all. . . .
