Napolitano: No need to stop raids on illegals for 2010 census - Arizona

“Immigration officials dont need to slow or halt raids to round up people here illegally during the 2010 census to get an accurate count of Arizonans, Gov. Janet Napolitano said Wednesday.

The governor acknowledged it is important for a border state like Arizona to get an accurate count of everyone here, legal or otherwise. That is because a host of issues are contingent on the states population, ranging from federal dollars to the number of representatives in Congress.”
