Other rights. even the most basic. are illusory if the right to vote is undermined. I believe we must address this issue prudently. yet expeditiously. In less than 1 year our country will once again undergo a taking of the census. We have been doing this since 1790. In 1790. the first U.S. census was conducted and completed. Many demographic elements have changed during these past 200 years. and the census must remain attuned to these changes in our country. In the 1980 census. the Census Bureau counted an estimated 2.57 million illegal aliens. But for this inclusion. Indiana and Georgia would probably have gained seats in Congress of the United States.
