Iโve written before about the effort by some Hispanic evangelicals to encourage illegal aliens to boycott the 2010 census as a way to put pressure on Congress to pass an amnesty. Now another leading figure has taken up the boycott call โ Nativo Lopez, the Hispanic Al Sharpton. This left-wing ethnic chauvinist (originally โLarry,โ he learned Spanish in college and is under indictment for felony vote fraud) said on Spanish-language TV recently โDonโt come to count me in your census until there is legalization.โ I honestly donโt understand the logic of it, since the more illegal aliens who are counted, the more (illegitimate) representation hard-left elites receive in Congress and the California legislature, since illegal aliens are included in the counts for apportionment. But whatever the thinking behind this boycott, we should hope for its great success.
