Outdated report based on figures retracted long ago (census)
Austin American Statesman ^ | 4.7.2010 | Politifactcheck Texas

Posted on 04/07/2010 12:13:44 PM PDT by wolfcreek

Urging constituents to return their filled-out 2010 census surveys to the federal government, U.S Rep. Silvestre Reyes refers to a dramatic blast from the past.

The El Paso Democrat states in a March 11 e-mail: “An audit of the last census found that over 370,000 people living in Texas were not counted, and our state lost an estimated $1 billion in federal funds as a result.”

There's a chance Texas could pick up 2 or more additional congressional seats.

The Left wants to make sure all people are counted. Especially the illegals.

The left always talks about "undercounts" costing certain areas to lose their "fair share of the pie."

But, statistically, shouldn't undercounts (if there are any) be uniformly spread out around the nation? Or are people in Indiana somehow genetically wired to be less responsive to the survey than people in Iowa?

Plus, congress always doles out the pie shares based on congressional vote buying necessities anyway.

I’m on a slow connection right now, so will view it later.

Good one, written by a legal immigrant. I forgot to ping you.
