More Logic Defied Conerning Illegal Aliens

Should the Census Bureau count illegal immigrants?: WASHINGTON - "Texas, Florida and Arizona each stand to gain an extra congressional seat in the next Census count because of their large illegal immigrant populations, according to a recent study. Conversely, states like Ohio, Michigan and Missouri could each lose a seat because they have fewer illegal immigrants."

This is bad, again. It's one more way that Illegals are affecting our political system.

We're a sovereign nation trying to uphold our own laws, in spite of the few within our own ranks who want to see something else happen. The problem is that those few seem to be getting more of what they want than the much larger majority in opposition.

But in this case, the issue is huge because it affects the representation of people in our federal lawmaking body, Congress. Those without polulations of illegals will lose power to those with large populations of illegals. And because it's within the American lawmaking system which has a winner-take-all approach, it's huge. Huger than huge.

There is an unknown here that may dismay those wanting an open border: will that greater representation manifest itself in the relaxation of immigration law support, or will it stiffen the resolve of Congress to enforce the law? Remember, the Minutemen come from these areas, and one assumes that the illegals will not be voting. At least, not yet. So what happens if these areas elect Minutemen to Congress?

The fact remains that this problem is of our own doing. Our own Census Bureau is causing it.

What's wrong with them?

It still seems to me that if they can count illegals, they can send that information over to ICE for a nice, tidy raid. Which moots all arguments that nothing can be done about the 12 million estimated to be here.

Damn, what's wrong with us?
