The Senator from New York has joined me in that regard. All this does is it adds to that kind of a problem. Alabama filed suit to prevent the Census Bureau from counting undocumented aliens in the 1990 census. That suit was thrown out. In 1980 another Federal court considered a constitutional challenge to the Census Bureaus practice of counting noncitizens. The challenge was that the Census Bureau was violating the Constitution because it did not separate out citizens from noncitizens for apportionment purposes. The court ruled. of course. in favor of the Census Bureau saying that the Constitutions language is absolutely unambiguous on this particular point. So there is a very real. practical problem we have involved here.
