Economic. social. health. employment. housing. and other types of information crucial to knowing who populates not only our nation but our Congressional Distincts can be derived from the enumeration of Americans taken every ten years. The census is important . . . extremely important. As Members of Congress. I think we can all probably agree on that statement. However. upon closer examination. the delicate balance we have managed to maintain begins to crumble. While Democrats admittedly want to count the urban and rural poor. minorities. legal immigrants and children. Republicans have publicly stated that an accurate accounting of all Americans will jeopardize their ability to hold on to a majority in Congress. I argue that the Republicans have their priorities mixed up.
