We can't afford this

Michael Barone notes some reverse immigration due to the economy:

If this trend is real and continues, I think there will be a lot fewer Hispanics found in the 2010 census enumeration than 2000-07 demographic trends would lead Hispanic leaders and others to expect. They're going to charge that there has been a huge undercount and will press hard for the enumeration to be altered by statistical sampling.

Another reason Rahm and our president want the Census in the White House.

I am in favor of legal immigration. I am not in favor of cooking the books.

We can't afford this in so many ways.
