My colleagues. the term "person" is constitutionally imprecise. So for all of those members who have taken the floor of the House of Representatives and said that there is a clearcut definition constitutionally of the term "person" as it applies to the census. that is inaccurate. There is a considerable body of legal opinion emanating from the Supreme Court that says that illegal aliens are not members of our political community. As legislators we derive our authority to govern from a political community. The inclusion of those individuals whom if they were discovered would be deported or could be deported as members of a political community from whom we derive our authority I think is unwise and a bad policy.
