Michelle Malkin found an interesting amendment attached to the current spending bill submitted by Barbara Boxer. Here is the relevant part:

(a) FINDINGS - The Senate finds the following:

The Census taken every ten years since 1790, is necessary for determining Congressional representation, Electoral College votes, and government program funding

(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE - It is the sense of the Senate that as part of the effort to count all persons physically in the United States during the 2010 Census, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau of the Department of Homeland Security should limit aggressive enforcement of the federal immigration laws to promote full participation by non-citizens in the census.

Those who advocate legalizing “undocumented immigrants” as they have now come to be called, please understand this is the reason why Conservatives demand an enforcement first approach. Here we have a typical California liberal demanding the Department of Homeland Security not do its job, because God forbid enough illegal’s do not get counted in the census in order to increase California’s seats in the House (thereby increasing its electoral votes as well), as well as federal funds received.

This is a shameless attempt by Democrats to try and increase their power at the expense of American citizens, and is proof positive that they cannot be trusted to deal with the illegal immigration issue.
