Louisiana Senator, David Vitter, had introduced a bill that would have required the US Census to identify non-citizens in the 2010 count.

Senate Democrats can’t have any of that and, yesterday, blocked the bill from reaching a vote.  Clearly, when they’re counting the people living in the U.S., asking them how much they make, how big their homes are, their race, their religion, how many cars they have, and how many toilets they own, Dems wouldn’t want a pesky little question like “Are you a U.S. citizen?” getting in the way.

Democrats claim that they don’t want the measure passed because they’re afraid the government will use it to prosecute those who are here illegaly.  The obvious follow up question: “if they’re here illegaly, they’re committing a crime, so why wouldn’t we want to prosecute them?” has gone unanswered.

Of course, the real motive behind counting illegals, and the reason Obama was so desirous of Acorn’s shady involvement, is simple.  The number of Senators, as well as political redistricting, are based on the numbers generated in the Census.  More illegals counted, means more Democrat leverage when they start the gerrymandering.

It’s especially important as it’s looking increasingly likely that redistricting may be the only way Dems can stave off Congressional losses….

…not to mention Barack’s increasingly likely status as a “one-termer.”
