Each household regardless of the number of persons in It is mailed a census questionnaire. Nearly 80 percent of the data in the census is gathered by someone in the household filling out the questionnaire and mailing it In to the Census Bureau. I would ask those who do not want illegal aliens counted how they are going to insure that households do not report the illegal aliens who might be living there on the questionnaires they mail in? How are those in a household even going to know who the illegal aliens in the household are? The households which do not return the questionnaire are visited by enumerators who ask whoever answers the door the questions on the questionnaire. When standing face to face with whoever answers the door. how is the enumerator going to determine if that person Is or is not an illegal alien? How is the enumerator going to know whether any of the other persons in that household are illegal aliens? It cannot be done. When you think about the practicalities. the amendment forbidding the Census Bureau from counting illegal aliens is revealed for what it really is. It is Irresponsible political posturing that will have no impact on whether illegal aliens are or are not In fact counted. But what it will do is cripple the census and undermine a fair and accurate count to the detriment of everyone.
