Illegal immigrants will continue to be counted in the U.S. Census as they always have, after the Senate today voted to block a Republican lawmaker’s move to require the 2010 forms to ask people whether they are citizens.
The 60-39 procedural vote stopped Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vittter from excluding non-citizens from the population count that is used to determine the number of congressional representatives from each state. The population totals are also used in many formulas that send federal aid to the states.
The U.S. Constitution says every 10 years the federal government will count the number of “whole persons’ living in the United States. Vitter said that doesn’t mean non-citizens should be counted.
“The current plan is to reapportion House seats using that overall number, citizens and non-citizens,” the Associated Press quoted Vitter as saying. “I think that’s wrong. I think that’s contrary to the whole intent of the Constitution and the establishment of Congress as a democratic institution to represent citizens.”
Vitter’s state of Louisiana stands to lose one of its seven House seats because of declining population. If his proposal was adopted states like California, with large non-citizen population, would lose congressional seats.
California’s two Democratic senators – Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein – voted to block Vitter’s amendment. He was attempting to add a provision to the funding bill for the Commerce, State and Justice departments that would have withheld money from the Census Bureau to conduct the 2010 count unless t he citizenship question was included in the 600 million forms that are printed.
Census officials have said this week ever since Vitter’s proposal surfaced, that it would be very expensive to enact Vitter’s plan because 400 million census forms have already been printed. They also said it would delay the decennial count.
Other critics of the plan said such a question would have discouraged immigrants from responding to the survey.
Participation from many immigrant groups is already a problem. Every 10 years federal immigration officials go out of their way to tell immigrant communities that filling out a census form would not lead to any immigration enforcement actions.
HORRIBLE, and WRONG. Population determines a lot of things, and they shouldnt be added.
As the Mario states below, the constitution says to count “whole persons.” Check out the U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 2
Look at the bright side - California will get more representatives in congress and, likely, more federal dollars. Since California sends more money to the federal government than it receives, we should be happy that this could increase the political clout of our state.
r00001. The “bright side”: More socialists pandering to the illegal vote. Sure……we’re real happy about this.
“whole persons” when slaves were counted as 3/5th a person, yea, good reference. Illegals should be counted as illegals, not citizens. Back when the Constitution was written, we didn’t have an immigration problem.
To: Senor Carlos
The term “whole persons” does not appear anywhere in the constitution. Similarly, neither the word slave, nor any of its iterations appears in the constitution. However, I believe you are referring to the term “whole Number of free Persons” in your post. This appears in Article I, Section 2 regarding the enumeration for purposes of representation in the house. As for counting non-free persons, three fifths of their numbers are to be added, not “3/5th a person” as you incorrectly indicate. The complete sentence in the constitution reads, “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.” This sentence was modified by the 14th Amendment, section 2 which reads “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.” As for the “direct Taxes” mentioned above, that’s another matter and it was settled by the 16th Amendment.
they are illegal. but their still here, and their still living here. so we should count them. make the money we need to make off of them, then when we’re out of this economy dump we can kick them out with the money they helped generate! >:]
What is the benefit of undercounting our populaion.? Illegal or not, we need to know how many folks live here. That’s just common sense.
They shouldnt be here, more tax dollars for them sponge off of.. yay?
Im hoping its a trap, and way to get them to feel safe, so the admit their law breaking ways and are deported. Like the hey youve won and trip… oh wait we have a warrant for you.
Your right and the easiest way to count the illegal population would be to go to the schools and count the people getting free lunchs.
Or go to our church every Wednesday morning and watch them drive up in their nice cars and raid the food bank…
What makes sense is our representatives represent the citizens of this country, not anyone that is here illegally. That ’s the problems with you people, you have lost all aspects of common sense. Hey I just defined a democrat.
Yeah and Loretta Sanchez wouldn’t have a job if it weren’t for the illegals.
Why sure. The more illegals counted the more money the cities get. It’s all about the money. If somebody admits to being illegal he should be hooked up and deported. He shouldn’t even be here. Why is the law being ignored. In most civilized nations they refer to that as “anarchy”!
EXACTLY.
I do not on XXI, some people still have their mind closed if this country has been made for immigrants one small group of racist do not let this country be smart just when they need the immigrants count but just in very small times shame of them.
O.K…WHAT are you trying to say Marcial? I really have NO CLUE as to what you’re getting at, other than you are the poster child for this issue.
That’s the most jumbled piece of nonsense I’ve read in a long time. The type of mentality that disregards the laws in this great country is not the immigrants that we showed embrace.
What about the folks in this great country who disregard the law by doing the hiring?
That includes not just organized employers, but you or your neighbor down the street that get that cheap lawn care.
small group of racist? i think 75% or more dont want illegal immigrants mingling about in our country
Legal Immigrants- OK- Si
Illegal gImmigrants- Not Ok- Nada
Get it now?
marcial, you’re making our point. Go back to Mexico, learn English and then get in line and come back.
Dude-I’m serious, the ESL classes need to be repeated!!! No comprende.
we cannot complete with people who have no responsibility or accountability. We might as well count the illegals as 12 million children.
It is actually closer to 20 million.
no closer to 30 million
now, you are going to count illegals. how about you count them as they get on the bus to send them back
Hello Rascist Im here Again JG the illegal Inmigrant ready to answer your rascist comments,let ’s make this blog as long i’ts possible I have partime with OCRegister to fill this blog. Keep posting remember all illegals we love you guys.We are here and we ‘be counted,next year reform will come and I will be “CITIZEN” VIVA LA RAZA.VIVA OBAMA
Not buying it jg…
you are not some illiterate illegal, oh, you’re probably Hispanic but you are also an idiot trying to race bait so you can tell all your friends how you got “the racists riled up on the internet” with your fake “illegal Mexican talk”.
A better use of your time would be spent improving Mexico, so you don’t have to flood our communities.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS??? why is there even a debate over this, there not part of this country. If they would of did it the legal way and got a green card like every other immigrant it would be fine. But does know one understand ILLEGAL anymore? Well the same people that make the law break the law so I guess were just gonna have to keep bending over and taking it.
The purpose of the census is to determine how many people are living in the U.S., not how many of them are citizens.
We already know how many citizens there are based on social security numbers.
This is a COUNTING issue, NOT an immigration issue.
But it is an immigration issue; an illegal immigration issue at that.
Counting should determine the population density of the voting populace. If that populace is diluted with persons of a non-legal citizenship status, then that fact should be disclosed. Because those persons should not be voting, yet they are still demanding welfare services. Without the distinction, the welfare burden will need to be placed, or distributed, to another area.
No homer, it’s to determine the number of PEOPLE living here, not “voting populace”, just like Ted said. What you think it “should be” is not relevant, what it IS is what it IS.
No idea what you said Marcial - perhaps you’re one of the group in question?
I say count them and require that they indicate if they’re here legally or not. We’ll never get an idea how many illegal immigrants are in this country if they don’t come out of the shadows. Of course, that’s the real intent, right? Stay in the shadows, work under the table, get every social service possible, don’t pay taxes and send most of your money home to Mexico. Being able to figure this scam out doesn’t mean somebody’s a racist….
Hey stupid! Not all immigrants are from Mexico! It just borders us in the south as CANADA does in the North. Last time I checked there were several people from Ecuador, China, Vietnam, Japan, Belize, Lebanon, and etc. Are you going to tell me all these people are from Mexico?!
Greater than 80% of illegals in this country are from Mexico, which puts their numbers at somewhere between nine and sixteem million. The second largest source of revenue for Mexico’s economy is money being sent from the US. Excuse me for ignoring the “several” people from other countries. I guess I missed them in the marches through downtown LA, waving the flags of their respective countries….
crankenstein……I must of missed that one as well. I was probably distracted by the mexicans waving the mexican flag while demanding amnesty.
I believe that all immigrants are supposed to be welcome in this country. After all,this country was made for immigrants. Why should we Mexicans and other immigrants should be deported?! We do many labor jobs other people won’t do! I think any immigrant laborers should be counted as a U.S citizen regardless if they are illegal or not.
your having a laugh!
You are not welcome, if you came here illegally. What part of illegal do you not understand? We have millions of unemployed citizens. We don’t need anymore uneducated manual laborers, stealing our social services, to the tune $13 Billion a year, in California.
obviously you do not really know about state politics. the debt is caused by you and me and everyone else in this state. every time you vote yes on a bond, you are voting yes on a tax. also we do need cheap manual labor. are you willing to work for 4 dollars an hours for 14 hours a day crouching down picking strawberries? if so. a farmer will more than gladly hire you. but you are not willing to work for such low wage. somone else it. part of the reason for the low wage has to do with the consumer side of you. you want cheap food. stop listening to kfi all day
I vote “no” on every bond issue. Food production is highly mechanized now. The so called “food pickers” make up a fraction of the illegal immigrants, in this State. Look at our schools, health care, prisons, social services and schools, and tell me that we need millions of illegal immigrants here.
And I wonder WHY you do the jobs others won’t… could it be because a position sitting at a desk usually requires at minimum an online degree and a SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?
Every country requires some kind of paperwork to become a legal citizen. All anyone is asking is for you to fill out the paperwork.
Boo Hoo!! My ancestors didn’t have to fill out paperwork in the 1800s… well we’re not in the 1800s anymore.
The English definition of the word ILLEGAL: not according to or authorized by law
So obey the law please!!! And when you can do that, “WELCOME TO THE USA!!”
You are bringing up that old crap about jobs that Americans ‘won’t do”. I’m from the midwest and everybody mows their own lawns and harvests their own fields. So there are no jobs like that, just illegals that will do it for next to nothing and then stuck living with 3 families of 8 each in a 1 bedroon apartment.
Let all the people who want them to be counted pay for all the illegals services. I’m tired of my paycheck being raped so they can have better medical insurance than me.
WE HAVE BETTER INSURANCE BECAUSE WE WORKING 4 TIMES HARDER THAN YOU AND WE EARN WITH OUR MONEY TO PAY THAT INSURANCE LACY BOY JUST WORKING HARD AND YOU WILL SEE
Sure you do. That’s why one in every five babies born in California is to an illegal immigrant and is paid for ENTIRELY by the state through Medi-Cal.
The myth of the harder working illegal alien only applies to the first gen. Their offspring usually end up in gangs, drop out of public schooling, apply for welfare and generally suck up all the resources without contributing anything.
jg go back to ESL class
Uhhh, before you so quickly come to the DEFENSE of our native language, how ’bout you yourself learn to spell a word you familiarize yourself with so closely that you include it in your screen name…?
Thanks.
DEFENSE.
NOT DEFENCE.
Not even natural born Americans know how to spell a common English word, huh, go figure.
Preface: So as not to be misunderstood, I am 2nd generation American. My grandparents emigrated just prior to WW-I, and they did it legally. They spoke their native language only to each other. We are Americans and we speak English (America variety). We do not celebrate the old country’s holidays, nor do we wave their flags. We honor our heritage, but we do not wear it on our sleeve. We honor the laws of our country and think others should too. No matter how you parse it, anyone who has come to our country illegally has broken our laws and deserves to suffer the consequences. As for the enumeration scheduled for 2010, no person not legally residing in this country should be included.
To: True Defender
It is obvious to me you haven’t read the constitution. If you had, you would not have made such an ignorant post. For your erudition (look it up) I submit the following from: The Constitution of the United States
Preamble - “…provide for the common defence…”
Section 8 - Powers of Congress - “…provide for the common defence…”
Amendment 6 - Right to Speedy Trial - “…Counsel for his defence…”
So you will understand why “defence” is spelled in this manner, I quote, “The Constitution was written in 1787 in the manner of the day - in other words, it was written by hand. According to the National Archives,… In the document itself are several words which are misspelled. At that time, the American spelling of words was inconsistent at best, and several words are spelled in the British manner. These words are ‘defence,’ ‘controul,’ and ‘labour.’ ”
You can find these spelling references at http://www.usconstitution.net/constmiss.html
God help us all, if you ever do have children. We can only handle so many illiterate and retarded people at a time.
15-20 million should be the cap, at least..but no, why not 100 million. Horrible
Not buying it jg…
you are not some illiterate illegal, oh, you’re probably Hispanic but you are also an idiot trying to race bait so you can tell all your friends how you got “the racists riled up on the internet” with your fake “illegal Mexican talk”.
A better use of your time would be spent improving Mexico, so you don’t have to flood our country.
The U.S. Constitution says every 10 years the federal government will count the number of “whole persons’ living in the United States.
Which part of the statement are we not understanding? It is so darn easy no blame the less privileged for all that is wrong in this country. It is absurd to blame immigrants for everything. If they are the cause of all our problems, then I’ll say that they are a very powerfull group of people.
EXACTLY Mario, THEY are indeed very powerful. Look at bankrupt California. A major bleeding artery that needs attention NOW.
The constitution was written with the idealistic perspective that our immigration laws would actually be enforced,,,,imagine that, those silly Founders that wrote the constitution never planned on a government where laws were ignored and the majority of the actual CITIZEN’S wishes were ignored.
Get real gets it! DO YOU?
deportation is not a crime !
And what part of, ILLEGAL dont you get. Would any other country “allow” this?
Thank you Ted! Some people are so stupid to think it’s about Immigration and just can’t wait to find any reason to lash out on them. It is good to know someone is using their brain and trying to explain to those idiots what a Census is.
Wow it looks like this forum is filled with illiterate illegals. It’s amusing to read, I guess.
Ted, determining citizenship is EXTREMELY important as it gives an area more clout, representation, and money. WHY should non-citizens receive congressional representation in the government they are pillaging and defrauding? Get real.
You who oppose counting the illegals need to realize that if we do not count them we aren’t given the money we need to help support them.Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face,sheeesh!
“we aren’t given the money we need to help support them”
Just where do you think this money comes from? the Tooth Fairy? It’s TAX dollars FROM US, the Government is US and no I don’t care to support them, maybe if there wasn’t unlimited support they would not be bombarding our borders.
Yes,Lori, but if you don’t count them you will still be taxed and the money goes out of California.You cannot be that dense.
mensarino: And that’s a good thing. The working, tax-paying class will continue to move out of California and before you know it……………..Tijuana north. It’s almost there now. And when there’s nobody living here except Mexicans and they trash the place like they have their own country, they’ll be heading east looking for more freebies. Only when that happens, they’re gonna’ run into the trenches. Lock and load.
I’m all for counting them as we load them on the bus to go back home.
What money are you referring to? We are bankrupt. The Federal Government is simply printing money, with nothing to back it. Why should we support those that are here illegally?
We can cut them off 10000%, then we wouldnt need as much money, private individuals would be able to actually keep what the earn, like the under the table illegals do.
Yea, let’s reward every state that ignores its lawbreaking residents by giving them more money. And anyone who wants all US residents to be LEGAL CITIZENS is RACIST!!!!
I hope you do become a citizen jg. I was born from immigrants and when my parents became citizens they were so proud and honored to become American citizens.
jg will never become a citizen. He isn’t smart enough to fill out the paperwork.
juxtapose, you and your parents should be very proud. Not to be Americans, but proud of yourselves for following the law. Thank you for speaking up, your parents raised you well.
JG, you had my sympathies until you spouted that La Raza garbage. Being anti-illegal has nothing to do with racist and everything to do with rules. The laws for immigration are in place for all immigrants: Russian, Iraqi, Japanese, as well as Latino. Anyone who wants to be American is welcomed, but the U.S. is not the land of freebies and only following the laws you like. If you do not like our rules you are always free to leave and seek a country that would be more to your liking.
AJ, I agree with you 100%. The problem is that Latinos are an easy target of the abuse that goes on in this country. Have you noticed how many people automatically think “Mexican” when they encounter the words “illegal”. Illegals come from all parts of the world, not just south of our borders. This misconception (or ignorance) is the root of many racist comments and attitudes towards Latinos. I came to this country illegally. and I am not ashame to admit. My life and my familiy’s was in dangered. I would have stayed in my country of origin under other circumstances, but that is life. I am now an American Citizen and very thankful to this great nation for giving the chance to be part of it.
By the way, as an undocumented alien, I paid taxes and never used any of the social and medical services so many people blame illegals for its depletlion. I diid not even go to public schools.
Proud American!
LATINO???
Are you from the country of Latin? You call yourself Latino because you speak Spanish and Spanish is a romance language with a basis from Latin? French is a romance language with a basis from Latin. Are the French Latinos? Italian is a romance language with a basis from Latin. Are the Italians Latinos? Portuguese is a romance language with a basis from Latin. Are the Portuguese Latinos? The Spanish people don’t call themselves “Latinos.” Why don’t you call yourself what you are, a former Mexican, Guatemalan, Honduran, or whatever? And don’t hyphenate your heritage. You are either an American or you’re not. You’re not half American and half something else. When you are naturalized, when you become an American citizen, you leave behind your past nationality and assume the mantle of American. As long as you cling to your past and consider yourself as a hyphenated-American, you will never truly be an American nor understand what it is to be an American.
I guess ACORN is still in charge of the 2010 Census…I thought they got booted for being CORRUPT.
Yep, real genius there Ted. How many of those Social Security numbers have been stolen and are being used fraudulently? Why even have a census when we can just look all those numbers up in the computer? LOL…. Give JG and his amigos a census form requiring a valid SS number and immigration status and watch ‘em sweat…
I agree with Ted. Census is aiming to get the closest accurate statistics. And speaking of illegal immigrants, Some of them pay taxes (or get deducted) even though they are not getting any benefits just to get the job.
Just change all the constitution. I am always hearing about these consitutional purist; however, it seems for someone when the constitution does give them what they want, they whine and become like those who they criticize, sometime violently.
“Just change the constitution” why not keep it simple and just enforce our immigration laws and then we won’t have to change ANYTHING.
What? “…when the constitution does give them what they want…” You really should read the constitution before you start referring to it. Especially since it is obvious you know not what you say. The constitution does not give power or authority to the people. It happens to be the other way around; the people give the powers and responsibility to the government. If you need proof, read the constitution, specifically:
Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. (Ratified 12/15/1791).
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
JG is the poster boy ( or nino as his racist la raza would prefer) as to why illegal invaders need to be rounded up and deported! Not supported!
Illegal invaders are not “immigrants!”
Wrong, wrong, wrong, unless they deport them after they count them and them subtract them from the census.
The US Constitution was not written when there was a problem with illegals Mario, it had to do with counting slaves as 3/5ths of a person. And a group does not have to be large and powerful to cause problems. But one question Mario, what do you not undersand about the word “Illegal?”
I will always respect the laws of this country and be opposed to those who don’t even if I’m the last American left!
Semper Fi
I’m with you, friend.
I’ve got your back, Gentwelve and Get Real. Lock and load.
Doesn’t illegal mean of outside of legal? Don’t count them, arrest the illegals and deport them after having them pay a large fine and at least a year in prison. Illegal means they are criminals! What are they thinking?
Tomasina—–If you were better informed, you would know that the census authorities are forbidden to notify ICE about illegals counted in the census.
You may certainly have an opinion about it but it helps to know the facts.
I admire hard working people, they may be illegal immigrant or citizen. When it comes to the government providing support from the tax dollars, I guess its just fair to to get benefits from your government (working or not) if your a citizen and immigrants who work their butt of and pay taxes. I just dont like it when here comes an illegal immigrant having at least 6 babies that will be born here and of course babies will be citizen. And the parents will just wait for government support. I think they need to limit the number of children the government needs to support. I mean, how can you make 8 babies and know you are not capable of supporting them? That’s ______ ! I dont know what to say. SO IN MY OPINION, THEY SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE IF THEY ARE PAYING TAXES OR NOT.
jg also posts under the name of mikey, he’s 12 and acts like it. He says jajaja no matter what name he is using. mikey, lazy is spelled L A Z Y.
no problema teacher welcome to another illegals blog you have enough this week? ok let make this big one jajajaj Viva obama y viva la raza gueros huevones
Save it, Not buying it jg…
you are not some illiterate illegal, oh, you’re probably Hispanic but you are also an idiot trying to race bait so you can tell all your friends how you got “the racists riled up on the internet” with your fake “illegal Mexican talk”.
A better use of your time would be spent improving Mexico, so you don’t have to flood our system.
jg is probably white, a US citizen and a college graduate. He’s just bored.
Wow! The amount of disinformation and wrong assumptions is astounding. “. . .get every social service possible. . .” Do you know this for a fact or you figured it must be true if Rush Limbaugh says it is? “How many of those Social Security numbers have been stolen and are being used fraudulently?” Illegals have got to be the dumbest criminals: steal a SS number to do what? Work. Do you think the IRS cares as long as someone pays–whether the SS number is legit or not, The IRS, SS, and Medicare will get their share. And remember, no valid SS, no SS or Medicare benefits, and no tax return either. And don’t go thinking every illegal gets paid under the table. Don’t assume, find out for yourself. Then again, that might involve moving and doing something. I think I’ll go watch some TV now.
jog on then your opinion isnt wanted mark
Mark’s opinion isn’t wanted? Why, because it might have a flash of truth to it? He hit a nerve there pardner?
The people who care are the citizens who’s SS number has been stolen. It’s one of the most common crimes these days, Mark - identity theft. Who cares if the criminals don’t get any benefits from their fraudulent way of life? They use the stolen number to obtain other forms of identification, gain access to social service programs and so on and so on…. Several years ago, the IRS came up with the TIN as a way to get illegal immigrants to pay their fair share of taxes in the absence of a SS number. Guess what percentage of those numbers issued have actually been used to pay taxes?
ID theft is not the reason they use a social security number. If you do your research on identity theft, in which one’s identity is used to gain access to credit, etc., you will not find illegals.
Hey, Mark: Where do you think illegal aliens steal those SSN’s from? Aliens? No. They steal them mainly from children. And while they’re using them, everything they do in connection with that number gets tagged onto the child. I’ve worked in a specific industry long enough to see the long term ramifications of THAT.
Now, while the GOVERNMENT will CERTAINLY verify EARNINGS reported against that SSN, and will decline any SS or Medicare benefits which were fraudulently applied, (through no fault of the rightful owner of the SSN), when it comes to all the other stuff, the “owner” is entirely on their own.
That means that the $5,000 in furniture and appliances purchased on credit from FAMSA Furniture, (which markets HEAVILY to Hispanics) - and then defaulted on, and the $2,500 in jewelry from Daniel’s Jewelry - and then defaulted on, and the utitlities accounts opened and then “shut off” due to non-payment, and the rentals of apartmetns, and any and all OTHER negative crap which lands on the credit reports of CHILDREN….
Must be dealt with by those kids once they reach legal age and try to apply for a student loan, or their first car, or even a cell phone….
Only to find that they “don’t qualify” because they’ve got sometimes 10’s of thousands of bad debt and negative credit, and must work for months, and months, and MONTHS, sometimes YEARS…..
Before they can clear their name.
Of course, that’s no big deal to the guy who STOLE the SSN in the first place. Once he’s ruined ONE “set” of credit, he simply goes and purchases another “set” of documents and starts all over again.
Yeah. No harm done. Right?
What’s the point?
i hope they count all the deal illegal mexicans as well. cause there are gonna be a bunch.
I see it coming too. There will be a civil war.
And you would be charged with treason and shot as a traitor.
Several months ago my brother told me that militia groups all over the states were training right out in the open, I googled and it’s true.
Oh goodie! Just what we need. A bunch of high school dropouts with guns and a grudge running around this country.
All illegal aliens take note:
You are uninvited intruders to our county. Look at it this way. If someone broke into your house or apartment and you found him sleeping in your living room what would you do? Simple. Throw his behind out the back door. It’s basic common sense to humans in any culture. Not just americans. That is the standing rule in ALL NATIONS! And that is what we intend to do here. We are going to fight amnesty tooth and nail. If you think we stood our ground and fought against Boooosh, wait until you see how we fight back against Obummer. You are going to get a swift bolus dose of a good ‘ol american knock down drag out hootenanny. Buckle up.
boring …. hmmmmm
Hell Yeah!
“uninvited intruders to our county”
Wow!, I guess that’s how Native Americans throught the continent felt when the European invaded their virgin land. It was very unfortunate that they did not have the weapondry needed to push back the intruders.
Oh good Lord OCO, have you gone off your meds again?
The census will count us because we are very important for this country for the economy for the culture for everthing,let ’s continue working hard and make more babies in 15 years we will be a majority and make this country a better place to live and work without rascist that complaint for everthing Viva obama viva la raza the reform come next year I will be citizen very proud citizen
PLEEZ jg,,,,,run, don’t walk…don’t be lacy…Go to class:
http://www.aoicollege.com/e-4387.html
jg, you are a drain on the economy.
A peasant making $8/hr under the table while collecting gobblement subsidies is a huge net loss.
Who are you trying to fool???
Forget it, Not buying it jg…
you are not some illiterate illegal, oh, you’re probably Hispanic but you are also an idiot trying to race bait so you can tell all your friends how you got “the racists riled up on the internet” with your fake “illegal Mexican talk”.
A better use of your time would be spent improving Mexico, so you don’t have to flood our system.
Our so called elected officials need to remember who they are representing–US CITIZENS!! How is it that we pay taxes to live in a FREE country and others can just come along for the FREE ride!
AMAZING!! And this year is the worst for taxes –we will be paying.
WAKE UP
AMERICA
THIS IS THE BEGINNING –OF SOCIALISM!!!
Oh Jesus Dorothy, go back to Kansas. I suppose you didn’t have a problem from 2000-2008 when socialism took the form of the middle class supporting the wealthiest 2% in the country?
Actually Dorothy, if you made less than $250k, you got a tax cut. Not much, but a tax cut.
What ever happened to no taxation without representation?
This country is so screwed up, now we have representation for those who pay NO TAXES?????
Ocobserver, I couldn’t have said it better. Maybe we should treat illegal aliens like Mexico.
Good. Now we will know where they are when it is time to send them home. Si se puede.
Wow! Shocking! Two democrat scum bags who have spent a career destroying CA will attempt to keep doing that by awarding representative seats that will go to more democrat scum bags to ensure more nanny state programs.
Other critics of the plan said such a question would have discouraged immigrants from responding to the survey.
Participation from many immigrant groups is already a problem. Every 10 years federal immigration officials go out of their way to tell immigrant communities that filling out a census form would not lead to any immigration enforcement actions.
===============================
Notice the omission of the word “illegal” in the last two paragraphs? Those that control the language control the debate.
No big deal here. With all the US citizens who will throw that away the count will be wrong.
Those “citizens” that throw it away are breaking the law too.
Don’t try to justify the wrong…illegal is illegal and it’s against the law period.
Those of you are proposing violence if you don’t get your way,you will be dealt with like the traitors you are.No American should ever again take up arms against his country,no matter the grievance.
Let’s see some hick militia take on the U.S. military…….should take all of a few hours.
mens, the traitors are people like yourself, you support another country taking over the US
There are non-violent ways available.Whenever I hear of militias I think of Timothy McVeigh and other such nuts.You may think yourself a patriot but if you did revolt you would be shot like a dog for your treasonous behavior.
I’m not saying the militia groups have the right way of doing things but the government isn’t listening to us.
Did you read the article about the 16 year old boy and his friend who hassled the cops? The FBI states half of all gang bangers are illegal.
The person who calls himself jg may or may not be illegal alien but he does voice the opinion of many of them, and that is f**k you , we are taking over.
The lines of illegals at the welfare office with their hands out
Even you know the crime rate is rampant. You champion these people.
” Hick Militia ” nice comment , dont you mean white rednecks ?
The more I read your posts the more I realize what a clown you are.
At least I’m not the one talking treason.I don’t care for a great many things my country is doing but I would not be a traitor.
It isn’t treason, that’s where you are wrong. The treason is being perpetrated by those in power supporting these policies which are clearly in violation of the Constitution which is the document we are supposed to be following. Read it sometime. BTW ever hear of the “Oathkeepers”? We shall see about who supports what when the sh_t hits the fan.
It would more likely be taking up arms “for” your country. We are in no way against the U.S. we have lost too many family members defending this land. I’m not looking for a fight nor do I take pleasure and joy with personal insults via an anonymous forum.
To all the naturalized citizens regardless of ethnicity you a have my respect. To all the illegal aliens there is no law or reason to compel me to honor you at all.
You can only disrespect this country for so long and most people are getting tired of it. If forced to react, we will, and believe me, the moment that the President directs the military to fire upon the people will be the last decision that person, whomever they may be will ever make!
Oh sure,like you would stand a chance.Stop being delusional,Barney Fife.Stick to civil war re-enactments ,that way you can stay alive to whine another day.
Barney Fife, lol….
mensarino:
As others have accurately stated, it is YOU who are the “traitor”, along with those in power who are committing “treason” in attempting to circumvent the Constitution of the United States of America.
It was to PROTECT us from these very practices that The Constitution was written in the first place, and the REAL “Patriots” will be those who recognize the truth:
Our loyalty is NOT to the current “Government”, but to the Republic.
Theres going to be a nationwide rally against illegal immigration next week. Although it’s short notice there are 40 set up so far. even liberal San Francisico. 9 all together in California. More and more people are getting fed up.

Tracing the rise of the Hispanic population, 1980 through 2008
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/10/16/lia.map/index.html
The Latino community, the largest minority group in the United States, will triple by 2050 (to 132.8 million by 2050)
I’m just waiting for the fat lady to sing!
I would say there are 10 million illegals in California alone.
Everything they do is illegal with their immigration status including reproduction.
In this next cencus if caucasians are the minority does that mean I get the benefits and priviledges as the group(s) that were minority before? Everyone can use the subsides rent since tax just went up 10%.
England has a thing called the English Defence League aimed at detouring Extreme Islam, we need that type of movement here but geared towards illegal immigration. The English Defence League is a non-racist, non-violent organistation. All colors and faiths are invited out to peacefully protest, if only we had a movement like that out here people and govt. would listen
I agree, that’s what these rally’s are all about. Trying to get our officials to get the point without violence.
The right of assembly and peaceful protest are guaranteed by the Constitution and the correct way to go about this.
YEAH we will be a majority later so waste your time protesting bunch of idiots look for a job and do something positive for this country stop complaint about illegals ,we feed you,we help this country ,we work very hard 3 times more than you of course and you love us(your wife´s) we cooking we do everthing here while you just watch tv and eat like pig .jajajajaj Viva OBAMA viva the illegals
I think that the comment you made below is racist or ignorant at the very least.
“oh yes rich with your drug trafficking, human trafficking, stealing of SS#’s, draining of state benefits, jamming our hospitals and forcing many to close, spreading swine flu, killing of American citizens then fleeing back to your home land.”
Alien. An American sovereign in his probationary state
Our criminal Senators Boxer and Feinstein continue to rob us any and every way they can.
We should count them only if they can mark the box that they are illegal. Because only then will people realize what that encompasses for the state of California and the country as a whole. The state politicians only want to count them so that they can claim that they have more people living here to get more money out of the federal government. That defeats the whole purpose of counting of the census of counting American Citizens.
Count the number of legal residents in Santa Ana. Then multiply by 10,000 to reach actual number of reisdents.
huveos rancheros
We, US citizens, must remind our elected officials that they work for us - not for illigal aliens. Being our representatives, they must be held accountable for their actions that intentionally allow illigals to stay and work in this country without knowing who they were in their native countries. It is a serious national security threat.
We must stop the corruptive actions that allow companies to knowingly hire illigals without any legal consequences.
The title of this article “Illegal immigrants will be counted in the 2010 census” is WRONG. These people are not illegal immigrants. THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS! The press is suppose to hold the government accountable, NOT PROMOTE THEIR AGENDA. No wonder the OCR is going broke.
Well Said nbcrystal, they print this kind of trash every other day to race bait people, it’s ridiculous.
If you want to fax your Senators and Congressmen for free, go to numbersusa.com.There over 900,000 members nationwide.
That os total “BS”! They (all illegal trespassers)are not legal residents and should not be counted in the census.
Why? Why do I need a filter for one word.
For all the uneducated here, illegal intruders into this country are not limited to Mexicans. There are the Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese and other etnicities represented in the incorrect term of “Illegal Immigrants”. In order to be an immigrant didn’t they have to enter the country legally. In my book, they are intruders and are simply trespassing. Most of the Asian women busted in massage parlor raids are in fact in this country illegally. There are naturally a higher percentage of Mexicans due to the proximity of the border to California. If they are counted, then they should be rounded up and shipped home.
All legal immigrants must go through the legal processes - with their background checked including interviews; then they must wait for a long time to find out if they are even accepted or not.
It is too risky to have illigal aliens here without checking their backgrounds. We do not know who they are.
again our country our system our state our everthing that´s the problem with you guys you think that you are the owner you just are individual like everybody Im mexican 100% illegal wih a good job good house good wife good kids because I work all the time and Im not complaint if the sun its hot because the illegals, because its cold ,sincere we all illegals are very loyals to the gabachos seriously we lone you guys we are the talibans we do all the job that you guys dont want to but you need it so please let us be here like everybody its a lot of terrain for everyone We the illegals dont want to suffer more VIVA LA RAZA VIVA OC REGISTER VIVA MEXICO VIVA USA SI SE PUEDE AMIGOS SI SE PUEDE

Not buying it jg…
you are not some illiterate illegal, oh, you’re probably Hispanic but you are also an idiot trying to race bait so you can tell all your friends how you got “the racists riled up on the internet” with your fake “illegal Mexican talk”.
A better use of your time would be spent improving Mexico, so you don’t have to flood our country.
OUR COUNTRY our our our our common lori you have a dog? go and play with him do something positive
Good point, Lori.
Instead of changing our country, why don’t they put their energy into changing their own native country so the hispanic people are not treated like chattel and slaves in their homeland.
How’s that for a novel idea, jg?
Apparently, you don’t “work” all the time since you’ve wasted the last four hours doing this. And, doing “the jobs we don’t want” is the biggest crock of stinking menudo I’ve ever smelled. You mean you “do the jobs other people want for half of what they’re willing to accept as a fair wage”. It’s no secret that illegal immigrants have depressed wages among younger, less educated, less skilled workers, such as yourself. Congratulations Einstein, Cesar Chavez tried to help you.

listen jg: I speak spanish and english fluently and articulate both languages fluently with 5 different accents. Trust me, english will continue to be the #1 language in this country. There are laws in this country that we must all follow, weather we are U.S. citizens or not. You are a disgrace to the latino community and would be ashame to be found near you. You think it’s funny when you say you are going to make babies in this country so that our tax dollors will pay for them?? You discuss me. Please do take an ESL class and learn how to spell and write correctly. Yours Truly!!

You really are a nutbag aren’t you JG.
english defence is right, 75 % is not a “small” group of racists. I guess that means there is a LARGE group of racists!
“The myth of the harder working illegal alien only applies to the first gen. Their offspring usually end up in gangs, drop out of public schooling, apply for welfare and generally suck up all the resources without contributing anything.”
That is BS. My mother came here “illegally” and is now a CITIZEN, BUSINESS OWNER, HOMEOWNER, AND TAXPAYER. I am studying mathematics at UC Berkeley and I plan on being a college professor when I am done. Oh yeah, I earned a full ride to UCB because of my immaculate GPA before entering (I only received on B in a computer science class where I was in the top ten ranking for two classes). My sister is in graduate school in Scotland studying to be a Veterinarian.
Watch your words! Hispanics are amongst the fastest growing voter population. Can you guess why we don’t vote republican?
You don’t vote Republican because they are against income redistribution and entitlement programs.
Gonzalez—-Great post! So many try to stereotype people and lose sight of the fact that there are a great many success stories out there such as yours.
Buen suerte,mijo!
It’s got nothing to do with race, it’s about the crime rate, you must read the paper so I would guess you realize who commits most of the crime., (according to the LA times 95% of murder warrants are against illegals) and the 30 billion dollars they cost us each year. I for one am simply tired of paying taxes so they can collect welfare. They have baby one after the other that they can’t support so we get stuck with the tab. They use ER’s instead a free clinic even if’s just a cold, there are many clinics on main st. in SA this has caused a lot of ER’s to close down. You can’t deny they have turned many cities into slums.
Jus,
don’t confuse him with the facts. he’ll just go ballistic against and throw the “R” word at ya.
You’re right. The morons won’t wake up until it affects them, and it will
This is great! I love reading all these stupid post by these idiots who have no rights here in the first place.
They should try and count all these knuckle heads to show Americans just how much this country has been over run by lowest class of mexicans there are. No wonder this states in the crapper. The rest of the country will follow soon.
I love the way they scream “RACIST, RACIST”.
No wonder Mexico doesn’t mind getting rid of all these losers.
They call us racist because they don’t have a valid argument about what we say and feel like they have to say something. The way to get rid of jg is to just skip his comments, that’s what I do.
Hope to see some of you at the rally on the 14th, 12312316 left info somewhere on this board. Let’s show them what we think!
Count the ROACHES, too.
Who are our representatives representing? I find it hard to believe the majority is ok with any of this. If I go to France they aren’t going to count me, why? BECAUSE I AM NOT A LEGAL CITIZEN.
Best case scenario, deport those who choose not to live and work here legally.
Worst case…..tax ONLY the people who are ok with their dollars going to the illegal factions.
this is very much an interesting read. Really! so many fun filled facts about a issue that won’t be solved here! “ILLEGAL” is a simple term with logic not a complex term. I agree that if you live here you should become a citizen end of story. . and with that said how is US CITIZENS demanding illegals to ether stay and become a citizen, or leave wrong. if you love it hear then do whats right, regardless if you pay tax’s or not. I know one thing for any group of people whom say they love this country so much they sure don’t care to much for taking care of it. Sad really. calijuana here we come!
Will mexico count them too and ask for USA Federal help?
You know what these types of debates foster? Issues like “counting” ILLEGAL aliens, and covering them with GOVERNMENT programs?
It fosters RESENTMENT. Which leads to RACISM.
And as we all sit here, discussing whether or not ILLEGAL immigrants should be counted in the Census, the unemployment rate in this Nation skyrockets to 10.2%, it’s highest level in DECADES.
We can’t afford to support our OWN citizens. Why are we even DISCUSSING the “necessity” of supporting those here ILLEGALLY?
The unemployment rate is actually about 16%. This includes those that are underemployed and those that have simply given up. The rate you refer to, is the number of people receiving unemployment insurance.
Why haven’t you guys noticed that jg is the jimmy that was bragging about highjacking the board the other day? He’s just playing with you guys. Ignore him.
what’s funny is this same whacko right wing jesus nazi is going to fillibuster any judge obama attempts to appoint and blather on about how we need “originalists” on the bench. and now we have an edict right out of the constitution, one that is 1000x more clear and specific than the 2nd ammendment, yet he now wants to “interpret” (i.e. make up something to fit his ideology) what the intent was. that is one of the central problems with the whole right wing of the gop–their ideology is just layer upon layer of contradiction, hypocrisy and false logic. this guy should resign himself to picking up hookers and leave the real legislating to members who can actually think clearly.
The headline is wrong. Illegal immigrants were going to be counted even if Vitter’s amendment was approved. That meets the constitutional requirement. But I don’t think there is a requirement to use illegals to determine political districts and that is what is at issue. Because the distribution of illegal immigrants isn’t uniform, voters in districts with large illegal populations get more political power than their number justify. And that political power is a zero-sum game where excessive voter power in one district comes at the cost of diminished voter power in others. Of course since that excess political power conforms with the prevailing ideology of the media, they don’t even report it. Dena Bunis has followed true to form.
Nice try compadre. I’ve never collected unemployment, but I do have the distinct displeasure of providing free medical care to your wife, girlfriend, mistress and pregnant daughter. And, thanks for contributing to stolen SS accounts, but since you probably make less than half of what the US citizen would make, you’re not really contributing much.

I’m sure there are some “free” ESL classes available in your area for you to take advantage of jg.
And guess what? A lot of your friends produce some of the worst cooking, cleaning and construction I’ve ever seen. The end result is still the same - looking for the highest wage in the shortest time possible. Do you think nobody in this country ever did housework before 1970?
Yes, I’ve seen the “clean” barrios in Santa Ana. The grafitti is a nice touch too. There is nothing like 4 families in a two bedroom apartment.
