The system that we have presently in terms of counting people is obviously ancient. I think that the gentleman from Illinois is correct. Any person who thinks that illegal aliens came forth blooming and blossoming. saying. "I want to be counted." is just crazy. because they want no part of it. They ran and they hid. I think that the issue is persons who are noncitizens being counted in a census. and I would be the first to tell the gentleman from Iowa that I was not opposed to counting persons who were noncitizensand I use the constitutional backing for the word "persons." I want to be frank with the gentleman. but I think there is a serious problem in terms of how we enumerate and how we go through the process. I would suggest to all of us. whether we are for counting of all persons or against it. the bottom line breaks down to the fact that we as a body must start to focus very sharply on how we go through the process. because the lawsuits that are going to be put forth by the masses of this country. whether it is in New York. Los Angeles.
