Sen. Boxer will screw the country for a vote
Boxer amendment would block immigration enforcement in order to count illegal aliens for 2010 Census, boost Democrat seats
(h) 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 federal immigration laws to promote full participation by non-citizens in the census.
Boxer’s amendment, SA 3246, is attached to the current spending bill up on the Senate floor. So, why is Boxer so interested in blocking aggressive immigration enforcement leading up to the 2010 Census?
U.S. states with large numbers of undocumented immigrants could receive additional seats in Congress after the 2010 census is conducted.
A University of Connecticut study concluded Arizona, Texas and Florida could all see their House delegations increase due to rising populations that include sizable numbers of illegal immigrants.
Although they can’t vote, such aliens are included in the census. The San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News predicted Tuesday the pending 2010 headcount could be the subject of a political fight as Democrats and Republicans jockey for position before House seats are reallocated.
The Connecticut study also predicted California and New Jersey would likely keep their current number of seats while states with fewer immigrants, including New York, Illinois and Ohio, will lose a seat or two.
Another barefaced attempt to gain seats for Democrats in population growth areas where Republicans hold power but have a large illegal immigration problem.
Nothing good will come from this manipulation of the census count where citizens’ rights and concerns are abused to get the upper hand in gerrymandering new safe districts.

Boxer should be drawn and quartered with a rather large knife, that is if someone has one that will slice throught all the plastic.
Boxer is no mental giant, but she’s true to her origin, which is the unexamined, knee-jerk leftist craving for the power to advance some crazy utopia. However they do it is unimportant. Multiculturalism is the mood stone of the moment.
Once you dig into the source of it, all the way back to the racist, manipulating tyrant Woodrow Wilson, and all the prog thinkers and German Hegelians who influenced his thought, you realize how little has changed by the time we get to Boxer. It’s always been essentially the same, except for a brief respite with Jack Kennedy, who was far too cynical about everything to be an idealogue.
The state is all that matters; its coercion, its force, and its vision of what should be, and the means by which politics serves administration. That is, politics subverts the public mood to the ends of party, and administration drives the spike.
Until conservatives can create the diffuse kind of revulsion for leftism that leftists have identified with conservatism, they’ll continue to prevail.
