No wonder Obama wants ACORN’s fraud stained hands involved. By counting people who are in the United States illegaly, areas that favor Democrats will be given lopsided representation in our nation’s capital.
The Wall Street Journal:
“Next year’s census will determine the apportionment of House members and Electoral College votes for each state. To accomplish these vital constitutional purposes, the enumeration should count only citizens and persons who are legal, permanent residents. But it won’t.”
“Instead, the U.S. Census Bureau is set to count all persons physically present in the country—including large numbers who are here illegally. The result will unconstitutionally increase the number of representatives in some states and deprive some other states of their rightful political representation. Citizens of “loser” states should be outraged.”
“According to the latest American Community Survey, California has 5,622,422 noncitizens in its population of 36,264,467. Based on our round-number projection of a decade-end population in that state of 37,000,000 (including 5,750,000 noncitizens), California would have 57 members in the newly reapportioned U.S. House of Representatives.”
“However, with noncitizens not included for purposes of reapportionment, California would have 48 House seats (based on an estimated 308 million total population in 2010 with 283 million citizens, or 650,000 citizens per House seat). Using a similar projection, Texas would have 38 House members with noncitizens included. With only citizens counted, it would be entitled to 34 members.”
These “non-citizens” are the same people to whom Obama wants to give free healthcare and other handouts. The point? They’ll NEVER vote against him.
Here’s the bottom line:
“The census has drifted far from its constitutional roots, and the 2010 enumeration will result in a malapportionment of Congress.”
“The Census Bureau can of course collect whatever data Congress authorizes. But Congress must not permit the bureau to unconstitutionally redefine who are “We the People of the United States.”
Well said.
Final thought. I wouldn’t mind living in Ireland for a little while. If I just go there, do you think they’ll let me live there, give me healthcare for free, count me as a citizen and let me vote in their elections?
Would ANY other country in the world? Of course not!
So WHY DO WE????
