Senate Kills Vitter Census Amendment

By GottaLaff

How did David Vitter get elected? I keep blocking that out.

His appropriations bill amendment would have "stopped the U.S. Census from taking place without an additional question about each individual’s citizenship and immigration status":

Vitter had claimed that counting illegal immigrants in the Census would allow Democrats to gain more seats in Congress than they’re entitled to have, but previous census directors and experts had warned that changing the census questions at this stage of the process would be extremely costly and basically impossible.

We Dems and our "illegal immigrant" friends sure do raise a lot of hackles.
