Census Bureau quietly seeking immigrants' legal status: report

Source: The Hill



BY KYLE BALLUCK - 03/07/19 07:12 AM EST

The Census Bureau is quietly seeking information on millions of immigrants’ legal status, The Associated Press reported Thursday.

According to the news service, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would give the Census Bureau extensive personal data about immigrants under a pending agreement.

The DHS data would include names, addresses, birth dates and places, Social Security numbers and sensitive alien registration numbers, the AP added, citing a document it obtained.

The news service said the DHS data would be more precise than the information collected by the bureau in its household canvassing every ten years.

They plan to round up every person of hispanic heritage who is here illegally and deport them. This government is evil. They will ignore the fact that illegals are earning the money to take care of their children, most of whom are US citizens. What happens to those children when their parents are deported? No one who has been here for a decade or more will take their children back to a hellhole like El Salvador.

What is the analysis of the impact on our food supply? Illegals overwhelmingly work harvesting crops as well as in meat and poultry factory farms—because US citizens will not take these jobs. Does anyone seriously think that out-of-work coal miners in West Virginia will move to Iowa to work in a pork slaughtering and packing operation?

We badly need immigration reform, but this administration and Republican leaders are not interested in reform. They’re interested only in making the US as white as possible—no matter the cost.

How paradoxical that the cadre of evildoers who proclaim a goal of "deconstruction of the administrative state" are actually leveraging the tools of the administrative state to achieve their sinister policy goals.

Perhaps the paradox is in appearance only, as this administration has persistently engaged in hypocrisy, deception, and lying on its face while enacting its actual, wicked machinations behind closed doors.

EVIL--yes.

Not from some people, but all people.

Last census I never got a mail-in nor a door knocker....maybe my luck will continue. They have turned the census into a Big Brother tool.
