Marilyn DeYoung: The 2010 Census and the Ghost Population
Counting on the census to register residents just doesn't add up

The Census Bureau’s questionnaires are in millions of homes right now, but are they in every home? No. And will they reflect honestly the number of persons living in each household? No. They will miss approximately 6 percent to 8 percent of families residing in the United States who are here illegally, but who refuse to be counted. In 2000 the final return mail was only 78.4 percent, even after Census Bureau people went door to door to query those who hadn’t responded. The 2000 census undercounted 12 million illegal aliens.


There is no exact count of illegal aliens in the United States. Discrepancies abound. The Census Bureau says there are 10.8 million. An economic calculation by Bear Sterns reported in 2006 that the count was 20 million. The Border Patrol union based its estimate of between 12 million and 15 million on border apprehensions at 1.1 million a year, versus those who got across without being caught — a 3-to-1 ratio. The Pew Hispanic Center stated, in 2005, “that unauthorized migrants to the United States number between11.5 (million and) 12 millionâ€

But at present, there is little to safeguard the accuracy of the census count.

Especially when this government gets done "adjusting" the numbers.

Other experts estimate that number to be between 20 million and 30 million


I would say so, particularly given that it's estimated that the 2000 census undercounted illegal aliens by at least 12 million.

I shudder to think how many more than 20 - 30 million were here before they began leaving once the United States was drained, broken, and of no further use to them

It is obvious that here in NYC they are living as many as 20 in a one family residence, often unrelated, so you just KNOW the count will not reflect reality!
