They have done the rational thing because we have not enforced our laws. Now. on the political side. There is the other benefit that is there. Why does not Congress have the will to step in and ensure that our immigration laws are enforced? I will submit that there are significant numbers of Members in this Congress that are here because they represent a significant supply of illegals that are residents within their district. When we do the census every 10 years. as we did in the year 2000. we do not count U.S. citizens for redistricting purposes for these 435 congressional districts.
