Census officials are asking immigration officials to halt raids during the 2010 Census enumeration process in hopes of obtaining an accurate count of illegal immigrants in the country.
"Census workers know it will be difficult counting illegal immigrants for the 2010 population tally and even tougher if those immigrants are hiding from enforcement agents."
"To make it easier, the Census Bureau wants immigration agents to suspend enforcement raids during the population count, the Census Bureau's second-ranking official said in an interview."
"Deputy Director Preston Jay Waite said immigration enforcement officials did not conduct raids for several months before and after the 2000 Census. But today's political climate is even more volatile on the issue of illegal immigration."
"The Constitution requires the Census Bureau to count everyone, including illegal immigrants."
"'We're supposed to count every resident. If you go out and ask, 'Are you here illegally?' they are going to run,' said Kenneth Prewitt, who directed the Census Bureau during the 2000 Census."
