Unable to Determine Number of Illegal Aliens?

Timothy Birdnow

Bureaucratic stuffed shirts say they can't determine how many illegal aliens are part of the total census and so they don't think they should bother enforcing Trump's order to remove them from the final tally so as to get an accurate count for representation.

From the Washington Times:

The man who designed the method Homeland Security uses to estimate the number of illegal immigrants says there’s just too much margin for error to use it to carry out President Trump’s new executive order to strip illegal immigrants out of the census count used to apportion congressional seats.

Most of the public debate over Mr. Trump’s order centers on whether it’s legal.

But Robert Warren, a demographer who used to work for the government and is now at the Center for Migration Studies in New York, told The Washington Times whatever the legality — which he very much doubts — it’s also unworkable.

Given the tools the government has right now, he can’t see how they could come up with a number accurate enough to rely on for something as important as doling out seats in the U.S. House for the next decade.

"It’s not possible to do it accurately,” Mr. Warren says. "The problem is that the estimates are not precise enough.”

Mr. Trump’s order does not affect who’s counted by the census. Illegal immigrants will be tallied like everyone else.

But when the administration produces the count to be used to assign the 435 seats in the House of Representatives to the various states, Mr. Trumpwants to delete the number of illegal immigrants as much as practicable, arguing they distort political power by unfairly boosting the populations of some states.

That's why you ask up front. This isn't rocket science; you simply ask who is a citizen and who is a registered resident alien and subtract that number from the final count.

It's only difficult because one party and their benefactors aka the mainsteam media and liberal think tanks want to steal Congressional seats.

It's pure theft. And we are letting them do it.
