In addition. the amendments provisions could be unworkable for the Census Bureau In carrying out. The methodology for its implementation simply does not exist at present. Excluding undocumented residents from the census would require the use of untested techniques to determine each persons citizenship and immigration status. The Census Bureau is not an enforcement agency and should be put in a position of evaluating immigration documents In the census court. I Intend to oppose the motion should a vote arise on it and urge my colleagues who swore to uphold the Constitution to abide by the spirit of the law and strictly adhere to its provisions.
