Actually, there are not 40 million LEGAL Hispanics in this country. Illegal aliens are included in that figure. Massive ILLEGAL immigration catapulted Hispanics to their new position of majority minority, which is precisely why La Raza, et al. want to ensure they remain here. The more “Hispanics” they can include in the census reports, the greater the amount of federal funding these illegal alien peddlers can receive.

The U.S. Census Bureau provides a variety of demographic, social, economic, geographic, and housing information on the foreign-born population (including immigrants) in the United States. We use the term foreign born to refer to anyone who is not a U.S. citizen at birth. This includes naturalized U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents (immigrants), temporary migrants (such as students), humanitarian migrants (such as refugees), and persons illegally present in the United States.

The 14th Amendment of the Constitution, ratified in 1868, says representatives to the U.S. House "should be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers,counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed."

"Our mandate is to count all residents regardless of legal status," said Mark Tolbert, a spokesman for the Census Bureau.

Miller, in reintroducing the amendment last year, said that states with a large number of illegal immigrants are gaining unfair representation in the House. Had her amendment been in place before the 2000 census, Miller said, California would have six fewer seats in the House while New York, Florida and Texas would have one fewer seat. States with fewer undocumented residents, including her own state of Michigan and others such as Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, would have picked up a seat, she said.

Needless to say, ITA with USA Today. The counting of millions of people in this country illegally who contribute nothing to this country is nothing more than false representation of the population of UNITED STATES CITIZENS.

It’s total insanity to include illegal aliens. They don’t belong here. If I discovered a family had climbed into my attic and squatted for a month, I certainly wouldn’t count them as family members simply because they managed to enter and stay in my house undetected.

ITA. It's beyond ridiculous. The mixed signals simply encourages them to think that they are special and above the American people who are expected to obey the laws. If caught, we are also held accountable for them as well.

Is it any wonder they delusionally think that they are special and above the law?

Default What part

WHAT PART OF MY "ILLEGAL ALIEN" THREAD DIDN'T YOU LIKE?? JUST ASKING..

I don't even feel right dignifying this with a response, but I couldn't help myself!! Even by the most liberal estimates (not anti immigrant propaganda, but actual formulated estimates), nearly 80 percent of the hispanics in the U.S. are legal immigrants, so chances are the majority of the people you would suspect as illegals, are probably here legally. Chances are, if you see a lot of immigrants in one house, they're probably splitting living costs to get ahead, immigrants have done that for centuries. A post like this blantantly advocates the harrassment of immigrants, it's disgusting If you really want to catch illegals, do your research first to see if your suspicions are justified before sending government officials on witch hunts. Anybody taking the advice of a post like this, would just create a bunch of racially charged tension in a time when we as a nation need to come together to fight all that is weighing against us. I pray to God nobody takes this poster seriously!!

I myself wouldn't call ICE simply because I saw a group of any race, ethnic background, or foreign language speakers. I don't shop lowes or Home Depot. I prefer small town lumber yards. Better quality and it helps the local economy more. That said if for some reason I were at Lowes or Homedepot and I was approached by a group of any race offering to do work under the table I would ask for green cards. When they failed to deliver I would call ICE.
Many in my town wanted to call ICE on a family of hispanics. They keep to themselves and quite honestly are good neighbors. The voice of reason won out. It turns out that they are here legally are employed by a stone quarry and pay their taxes. How do we know? Because we went after the employer instead. He lives in this town and provided the proof to our local authorities.
Hispanic does not= criminal anymore than Black man does. The problem is that the vast majority of Illegals are in fact Hispanic. Compounded by the fact that many within the hispanic community both facilitate and support the illegals. This is what has caused the distrust. I feel the same about illegal Russians, Polish, Irish or where ever they hail.
The hispanic community would do itself a great service if they wuld stand up and denounce their illegal counterparts.

Never happen.. too many or most are related to each other, or have more
relatives waiting to sneak over. Unless our government finally wakes up, and
secures our borders... Americans will keep paying the price.. and they will
indeed, keep taking!

They are urging you to call. Like i see 20-30 immigrants in a field picking corn, at mcDonalds or working construction or whatever.. i called ice a couple times and they no longer working near me.. Also i see lots doing road work.. probably working for your state or a subcontractor , I would call Ice.. it works. And ask ICE for their TAG #. they will give you that but not their name.. that way you know they will report what you say.. i'd ask for TAG # up front first.. gl.
This is the stupidest post I've come upon so far.

You do know this is what is called a "witch hunt" right, and racial profiling to boot? Let's just harass people, and sure, they won't mind if they're legal. A little humiliation in front of everyone is nothing and probably is even good for one's health.

I can stand illegals, they're just trying to make a living - it's people like you who so easily volunteers others to sacrifice that I can't stand.

its quite apparent that some are for and some against illegals.. with trillions spent through the years and continues to do so on illegals, it is also quite apparent that some of you can afford more taxes and more crime and more diseases and some can't.. I for one, can't stand it at all..And its quite apparent that America is now broke because of them.. When one of your family members don't have insurance and a serious health issue and can't afford a doctor and YOU see hundreds of illegals sitting in a hospital emergency room getting help and paid for by tax dollars, something is wrong here.. And the reason I know most to be illegal is because in 2007, 97% of hispanics that came here the last few years are ILLEGAL...so if you think its profiling or wrong for me to think like that, its on you.. I can still sleep at night knowing i'm doing the right thing..and i have all the time in the world since i was disabled by an illegal drunk driver with a md. drivers license.. thanks to our governor and his sanctuary state..
