Illegals Will be Counted in the U.S. Census

08/11/2009 • Newsmax

California could get nine House seats it doesn’t constitutionally rate because illegal aliens will be counted in 2010, concluded an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal. The forthcoming census, which determines the apportionment of House members and Electoral College votes for each state, will be counting all persons physically present in the country -- without regard to the legality of their status. Set for big gains thanks to illegal populations is not only California but Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Texas, according to the Census Bureau’s 2007 American Community Survey data.

Why not finally invite the Mexican people to join with the U.S. as the "51st state" (10+ states), and proudly count them all? Click http://go.to/megamerge.
