Why Not Exclude Illegals?

They should not be here to begin with.

Hey folks,

By the way, did you catch this? A Halloween costume that depicts a SPACE Alien, you know, little green guys. Well, in this case Grey. A SPACE Alien in orange prison garb emblazoned with the words "Illegal Alien" is creating a big uproar forcing Target, and others to REMOVE it from the shelves?

I love this.

A few miles away in the Little Havana neighborhood, workers at a popular costume store said it was not something they would carry because it was discriminatory. They do stock a human taco costume, replete with a Mariachi hat.

{Laughing} Illegal Alien, WHICH IS WHAT THEY ARE, is discriminatory, but a human taco costume, replete with a Mariachi hat is not. Idiots.

Anyway, back on October 7, 2009 Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) and Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) introduced an Amendment that would FORCE the Census to add a question of Citizenship. WHY NOT?

Now I know that this is a purely Political move. That failure to comply will NOT effect funding to the States with the most, nor will it be used for ENFORCEMENT of Immigration Laws. To which I ask again. WHY NOT? No, the reason for this is an attempt to distribute Power and Control more "fairly." Illegals do not get Representation. They, being ILLEGAL, do not enjoy the benefits of actual CITIZENS. Nor should they. Here is the Press Release from October 7, 2009

Bennett Pushes for Citizenship Questions in 2010 Census

WASHINGTON D.C. - Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) and Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) introduced an amendment today that would only allow continued funding of the 2010 census if the census includes a question of citizenship status on all future decennial censuses.

"The system is broken and areas of the country with high illegal populations should not be rewarded with greater representation in Congress" said Bennett, a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs committee. "The decennial census is an overwhelming and extremely expensive undertaking and it must be done right."

The amendment is based on the Fairness in Representation Act, introduced by Bennett last month. The bill would require the Census Bureau to include a question on its decennial census asking whether the individual is a citizen or lawful resident of the United States. It would further direct the Census Bureau, that for the purposes of apportionment of congressional seats, the population should be based on the number of legal residents of the United States.

Neither Bennett's bill nor the amendment introduced today would affect federal funding to states. It is also important to note that by law, information collected by the Census Bureau is completely confidential, and therefore Senator Bennett joins the bureau in urging all respondents to return their census form and feel confident answering honestly.

In other words, no one is coming to get you. So tell the truth. Are you here Illegally? {Sigh} Sure they will tell the truth. Right. But WHY NOT at least ask the question?

It always amazes me that they can never find Illegals when they CLAIM they are enforcing the Law, yet anytime a News Organization has a story to tell, they have no problem finding any number of them willing to go on TV.

I'm with ya Senator. Let's ask the question. Let's make sure that the power some have in Congress is legit. Illegals do not deserve Representation. They have not earned that RIGHT by going through the Process. The problem you are going to have with the Left, is THEY are the ones that make up a lot of their Districts and they get a lot of money from these advocacy Groups that represent THEM.

Another problem you are going to have with the Public in whole, is that at the end of all this, it really means nothing. One, they will lie. Two, there is no enforcement. Three, there is no 'incentive' for the States to enforce this question being added. Much to do about nothing. I understand WHY you are doing it. However, really, what's the point?
