Obama Census Plan: No Illegal Alien Left Behind

I have seen the electoral future,
and it is rigged. With fraud-prone, ideologically driven
interest groups swarming the census-gathering process,
the left is solidifying its chances of a permanent
ruling majority. Lax immigration enforcement is the
not-so-secret key to the Democrats` power grab. And the
Obama administration is all too happy to aid and abet.

At a meeting to mobilize volunteer
trainees assisting with the decennial national
headcount, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke encouraged the
government`s partners to spread the word that privacy
rights of census-takers would not be violated, and that
accuracy and fairness would be ensured. Locke assured
the activists:
"We all recognize what is at stake."

But do you?

The volunteer groups Locke is
entrusting to protect accuracy and fairness include the
voter registration con artists of tax-subsidized ACORN,
the amnesty activists of Voto Latino and the labor
bosses of the Service Employees International Union
(SEIU). The fate of $300 billion in federal funding—and,
most importantly, the apportionment of congressional
seats—rest in their hands.

As for "privacy rights,"
it`s not your privacy rights they care about. It`s
the privacy rights of millions of illegal aliens, whose
advocates have enshrined for them a sacred right never
to be questioned about their
immigration status. Obama`s census partners are
using the process to pressure homeland security agents
to halt interior enforcement efforts and workplace raids
so that illegal alien cooperation with the national
survey is maximized. Inclusion of the massive illegal
alien population has resulted in a radical redrawing of
the electoral map.

The census is used to divvy up
seats in the House

as a proportion of their population based on the
headcount. More people equals more seats. More illegal
immigrants counted

equals more power.

This is not hypothetical. The

Center for Immigration Studies determined that in
the

2000 election cycle, the presence of non-citizens,
including

illegal immigrants, temporary visitors and
green-card holders, caused nine seats in the House to
switch hands. As the think tank`s analysis reported:
California added six seats it would not have had
otherwise. Texas, New York and Florida each gained a
seat. Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin each lost a seat. Montana,
Kentucky and Utah each failed to secure a seat they
would otherwise have gained.

Translation in plain English: Open
borders have profound consequences. And they don`t end
with

congressional apportionment. The redistribution of
power extends to presidential elections because the
Electoral College is pegged to the size of congressional
delegations.

Under the Carter administration,
the men and women who enforce our immigration laws were
ordered not to do their jobs during the census count;
non-enforcement was the unspoken policy during the Bush
administration in 2000. Bipartisan policy, in other
words, was to put political interests above security
interests and leave No Illegal Alien Left Behind.

The Obama Department of Homeland
Security is already continuing the tradition—reversing
the work of investigative agents who have uncovered

massive document fraud at

illegal alien worksites, and cutting immigration and
customs enforcement operations at the knees.

During the eight years of the Bush
administration, groups such as

ACORN received millions of dollars in subsidies. The
pro-amnesty faction of the GOP pandered to unions such
as the

SEIU and ethnic lobbying groups such as
Voto Latino
seeking to boost their membership rolls.

Now Republicans can only stand by
helplessly while the political opponents they helped
fund use the census to wipe them off the electoral map.
You reap what you sow.
