It is tragic that we would have individuals of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle begin to talk about snake tactics and accusations of mistrust when it is well known that the National Academy of Sciences has documented that sampling is the very best way to ensure that all Americans are counted. rich or poor. black or white. And this is a tragic response to the need for counting. Might I say that there are points in this bill that I applaud. the acknowledgment of the Peer Review Justice Center on Juvenile Prevention. But yet I come to disappointment. the disappointment that under 245(1) battered women who may be immigrants will be excluded and therefore will not be allowed to stay in this country while others with less concern will be. But let me turn my attention to this census. How false to be able to acknowledge that sampling is not an accurate count.
