Mr. Navarette:
“States that have
taken in more than their share of illegal immigrants should get what
they’re due in federal resources and congressional
representation. For that to happen, illegal immigrants have to be counted in the census.”
Nope.
We’ve done this before, so we know exactly what it’s about, chum.
Back in the 1840s, they counted slaves as 3/5ths of a person.
You want your modern-day “slaves” counted so you can use their presence to gerrymander more than your fair share of representation and claim more federal resources than you’d otherwise be due.
Nope. These folks should not be here, they can not vote. They are due NO representation OR federal resources…and the states that tolerate and wink at their presence shouldn’t be subsidized for doing so.
