Now. here we go. the U.S. Senate. undermining all of that work by adding an amendment that wouldnot just a little bitbut completely undermine all of that preparation. The amendment does not say just how the Census Bureau is supposed to exclude Illegal aliens. It is silent on that question. Long after we have made our political statement here. others will have to find a way to implement what we have mandated. I do not think the Senate should further complicate that task. The amendment is not as simple as it seems. How is the Census Bureau to determine who is an illegal alien and who is not? Often the Justice Department has to make an administrative review to determine the legal status of aliens. Second. what do we do about people who lie about their status?
