U.S. Rep. William Clay says he'll ask the Obama administration to suspend immigration raids over the next year, so illegal immigrants don't worry that sharing accurate information with Census workers could somehow expose them to punishment.
Some lawmakers are calling anew for the U.S. to relax its immigration laws -- not to provide sanctuary to illegal immigrants, but to ensure statistical accuracy.
The calls come as the Census Bureau prepares to kick off the 2010 Census. Critics argue that unless the government is willing to relax immigration laws, millions of people -- afraid to their share their personal information -- will be left out of the count.
U.S. Rep. William Clay, D-Mo., who chairs a House oversight subcommittee on the Census, said he plans to ask the Obama administration to suspend immigration raids over the next year.
He wants the raids put on hold so illegal immigrants don't worry that sharing accurate information with Census workers could somehow expose them to punishment, even deportation.
"There are many people -- Hispanics, African-Americans, whites, Asians -- who have an irrational fear of government, who distrust government, who don't believe that if they give the federal government personal information, that information is not going to be confidential," said Arturo Vargas, of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.
The move Clay is proposing has been done before -- in 2000, and even earlier.
Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, was working for the border patrol ahead of the 1990 Census when the orders came down to suspend some enforcement efforts.
"It distorts the count because people might be apprehensive about answering the door, or reporting accurately how many people are living in a house or residence or an apartment, or those kinds of things -- at least that was the rationale," Reyes explained.

Y’all sure this isn’t another sample of your excellent satire? It’s for real? dayum!
No sir, don’t scare off potential voters! :-O

How about revving them up, tossing them out, THEN taking a head count of legal Americans?
JPMR goes to local dhim headquarters and picks up a pack of 'Boro's.
A neighborhood of 132 is 'properly' counted .. 248.
Why do you have to be a downer, NVA? Why?
LOL
This is nothing less than the mexification of the United States. We are being conquered by a horde of illiterate third-worlders without a shot being fired, and our f***ing politicans are to blame.

I have a fear of government but it’s hardly irrational.
Had to check to see if it was scrappleface or not.

If they are not Legally here they don’t count! End of story!
The open border freaks just never give up do they?
I think that we should count them at 3/5 of real Americans. After all 3/5 worked for the Demoncraps when they owned the slaves so 3/5 should work for the present day Demoncraps that own the illegals.
The census is held to count voters. Illegals can’t vote so they don’t need counting.
Advocates Want Halt on Immigration Raids to Ensure Accurate Census
Ah a point.. They are not immigration raids. They are Illegal Alien raids. Get the facts right..
Soooo.....we’re supposed to COUNT the ILLEGALS? Hmmmm...maybe I’ll participate as a census taker this year....could be fun....
We want to count illegal immigrants?
