Should the Census count `illegal immigrants’ in Florida?
South Florida Sun Sentinel ^ | February 4, 2010 | William Gibson

A long-running and divisive debate among Florida Republicans over immigration policy has emerged as a major issue in the nationally watched Florida Senate race between Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio.

The immediate question is whether the Census should count unauthorized immigrants (foreign residents who lack documentation and whose legal status has not been determined.)

ICE should send an officer with each census taker. Naw, they couldn’t find an illegal in a Cinco de Mayo parade.

If they can be counted, they can be apprehended and exported. In any case, their presence among the body politic must not be used for purposes of legislative district re-apportionment. But it will be, on the premise, likely valid, that this will favor Democrats.

Count them only if the count is to make sure when they are exported the bill of lading is filled out correctly. Other wise why waste the time trying to chase them down when then only want to run away from government people anyway!!

That’s what I was thinking. Just count them to make sure that the boxcars aren’t overloaded.

You KNOW they will. They need the numbers and can’t get them honestly. These illegals are the same ones they let vote.
If not for fraud, no demonRAT might ever get elected agsin.

Sure, absoultely! Count them!

Then pack them off.

I would love to see a state claim representation for 2 million people that they are supposed to be doing everything in their power to repel.

It seems that to be accurate, they should be counted, especially if they receive any kind of benefits.
