Americans flee unions, taxes. Low Tax states gain seats.

Funny thing happened on the way to the census....

Turns out people have been voting with their feet for years now, and those changes will be incorporated into our legislature. Low tax states such as Texas (four seats), Florida (two seats), Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah and Washington (one seat each) will be gaining. And high tax states such as New York and Ohio are likely to lose two seats each, while Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are losing one seat apiece. In 8 of 10 loser states, people can be forced to join a union in order to take certain jobs. In 7 of 8 winners, people have the right to choose whether they will contribute to a union or not.

Odd pattern developing here, doncha think?

Santa Ana, CA ICE Raids Put Damper on Illegal Participation In Census

Working with local community and faith-based groups, the Census Bureau has hired local outreach officers to market the census to their own communities in the native languages.
That effort appears to have made headway among minority and immigrant communities, but continues to be hampered by federal immigration enforcement.
"As a Spanish bilingual the biggest challenge was the raids," said Beatriz Fernandez, who conducted outreach efforts in Santa Ana. "People would ask, 'Are you giving our information to Homeland Security? Is someone going to come knock on our door if I give you my information?'"
ICE's latest raid in Santa Ana came last Sunday, according to Fernandez, further fueling fears that arrests would continue and heightening suspicion toward the federal government.

This is interesting. I had an idea that a number of illegal aliens fleeing the Arizona law have come to southern California, based on my experience at local parks. They are full to bursting on the weekends. And you need to habla espanol to fit in. The OC Register story went on to say that Democrat administrations feel the need to put up a show of enforcement because they are viewed as being soft on illegal immigration. And there was money allocated to ICE, which now feels the need to "fill beds".

Funny. I don't hear Mexico apologizing for enforcing their immigration laws.
