On the website of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) from Obama's U.S. Census Bureau Director, Robert Groves, can be found. That press release appears to make obvious that the Bureau plans to count illegal aliens in our census. The press release was issued to America's Hispanic organizations to urge them to help with the coming census.
In that press release, Groves says the following (my bold):
We have the enormous challenge of convincing everyone in the country to participate in the national count - regardless of race, ethnicity or citizenship status. To reach the Latino community, we are counting on community-based initiatives like ya es hora to partner with us in spreading the word that the 2010 Census is easy, important and safe," said U.S. Census Bureau Director Robert Groves.Notice that Graves says "regardless of citizenship status." With this comment it is clear that Graves intends to count illegals in our census.

Wow. This should help give the blue states the extra representation/power they need.
You betcha. Standard RAT ploy. The Fourteenth Amendment says “Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed.” Persons, not citizens. You better believe the RATs are running with that loophole. It makes a mockery of equal representation and should be challenged in court.
They have to count the illegals because of the 14th amendment. The danger is that they will invent a lot of non-existent people to inflate the figures for Democrat-leaning states (create a few more Congressional districts that can be safe Democrat seats, and add a few electoral votes).

No, they don't, but they will.
