If passed, Vitter's amendment would throw a monkey wrench into the U.S. Census, by stopping the 2010 Census dead in its tracks--preventing the questionnaire forms from being mailed next spring and wasting over $7 billion in research, planning, and preparation that has occurred for Census 2010. Lastly, it would completely render useless the one document that is supposed to paint an accurate picture of who we are as a nation.
And that's why SEIU has joined with 11 other partners to launch Don't Wreck the Census.

Sen. David Vitter-Bennett have been offering an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations bill that would require the U.S. Census Bureau to add questions regarding immigration & citizenship status of 20 to 30 million plus illegal immigrants and families in the 2010 decennial census. If these questions are not asked it is certain that--ALL--these illegal aliens will be counted in the census and states will lose billions of dollars in federal funds to states infamously designated as SANCTUARY STATES such as CALIFORNIA and gain Congressional seats (and electoral college votes) due to this counting of illegal aliens.DEMAND FROM YOUR SENATORS THAT SEN. VITTERS’ AMENDMENT BE INCLUDED. Only citizens and permanent residents should be counted.
In addition we surely need exemplary court sentences for companies that hire illegal labor. So when unable to support themselves as jobs are no longer available, they will leave by their own accord. NOW IS THE TIME TO COMMAND OUR RETICENT SENATE & CONGRESSMAN TO IMPLEMENT E-VERIFY PERMANENTLY FOR EVERYBODY IN THE WORKPLACE AT 202-224-3121. Also investigate the prestigious public watchdog legal group at JUDICIAL WATCH relating too sleaze and corruption in--ALL--government. CAPSWEB will explain to you about the risk of OVERPOPULATION. We should boycott any store, manufacturer who doesn't display the E-Verify notice in the store window or in human resources departments.
Nor do we need another AMNESTY, as the last one was abused by the open border nuts and fraudulently used by guest workers. IT WAS NEVER BROKEN, IF ENFORCED CORRECTLY? ANOTHER AMNESTY, JUST MEANS MORE COMPETITION FOR JOBS BY AMERICANS, AND MILLIONS MORE ASSAULTING THE BORDER FENCE. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION WILL NEVER STOP, UNLESS WE CUT OF--ALL--GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS AND PARASITE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES?.
