Census Director: We'll Use "Community Organizations" To Count Illegals, Set House Apportionment

Communities

I can't wait to find out who gets to count as a "community organizer." My hunch is that it won't be, say, the the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. Because they don't organize within communities. Probably it will be someone closer to ACORN, since they're so well known for being above board and squeaky-clean:

The acting director of the U.S. Census Bureau, Thomas Mesenbourg, told CNSNews.com that the bureau intends to work with community organizations to make sure every illegal alien in the United States is counted in the 2010 Census. The Census is used to apportion the seats in the U.S. House of Representative. There are 435 House seats that are divided among the states in proportion to their population, which is determined by the decennial census. States with more people get more seats in the U.S. House. This means that a state harboring more illegal aliens can gain more House seats as long as the Census Bureau finds the illegal aliens and counts them.

I actually think that this makes sense because, as the Speaker of the House reminded us recently, illegal immigrants are the greatest patriots of all:

I wonder if weighting the census towards states with more illegals will have any effect on Congressional support for amnesty. Someone should get Jonathon Krohn on the phone.
