Now. if the Census Bureau were required to exclude any group. let me tell you what some of the problems would be. First of all. the census is primarily taken by mail. The Bureau sends out the questionnaires by mail and then they have follow up interviews for those who did not answer the mail questionnaire. Well. one option at this point if the Senate amendment an excluding illegal aliens were to be adopted. would be to have an independent second census. The Bureau would have to design a whole new questionnaire and have a new census later. That could cost $1 billion. but that money is not in this bill.
