NY’s Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand: Census Is for Illegal Aliens to Get Americans’ Taxpayer Money, So Be Counted!
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on March 16, 2010
Crikey sakes… since when did our nation’s Census process include the willy-nilly giving of American taxpayer dollars to illegal aliens?
Well, per some statist Democrat leaders, the money is there, so by golly, even if you’re in this country illegally, you’re entitled to those taxpayer goodies in the pig trough, baby, so be counted!
From Meredith Jessup, Townhall.com, U.S. Senator Encourages Illegal Immigrants to Submit Census Forms:
Forget abiding by that pesky little thing called law. There’s money on the line!
…Or at least that’s what Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., is telling illegal immigrants living in her state. The New York Daily News reports:
Stand and be counted – or we can’t get government cash.
That’s the word from Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and New York Secretary of State Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez, who said Monday that it’s safe for undocumented immigrants to fill out 2010 U.S. Census forms that will hit city residents’ mailboxes this week.
“Invisible people do not count in this country,” Cortes-Vazquez told reporters at a lower Manhattan news conference. “Invisible people do not have a voice.” …
Census figures help determine where government cash goes for hospitals, school services, public housing, social services, food stamps and other programs, and how many seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Census form has 10 questions and takes less than 10 minutes to fill out, said Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) By law, the responses are confidential; other federal agencies aren’t allowed to see them. …
“For Latinos, the fear is immigration authorities,” said Hispanic Federation President Lillian Rodriguez Lopez. “We’re working to make sure (fears of) immigration raids don’t put a damper on Census participation.“

Oh for Ronald Reagan to re-appear, and remove us from the mire we are entrenched in.
Vicki, check out Roxy’s site, quote of the day from Reagan.
Yes it does follow the above post.
Thanks, AFVET – I will indeed check it out.
The US Government lies to us all the time. They used the US census, to locate and place into detention Japanese-Americans and report on Italians, Germans during the Second World War. This time workers are hired to collect GPS readings for every house in this nation, giving pinpoint precision that will certainly simplify the process of locating any individual or group that could be identified as a threat to “national security” in our future. A 1976 Senate Report indicated that 26,000 Americans were slated for internment by the FBI in the event of a national emergency at the height of the Cold War. Today the Census could possibly be used to check on the whereabouts of Muslims and Middle Easterners? The U.S. Government’s Terrorist Watch-list has exceeded one million, the GPS data acquired could be instrumental in organizing such a accomplishment. It could be that this 2010 Decennial Census that in reality, to seek out illegal aliens occupying American soil and deport them home?
And so it begins now for The One to legalize illegal aliens to assure himself of millions more votes for Democrats.
