DALLAS (March 13, 2010)--Census forms go out soon, and U.S. Census Bureau workers face the usual challenge in Texas of accounting for immigrants who would rather not be noticed.
The problem arises every decade when the Census Bureau tries to count residents in the nation's second most populous state, which shares a 2,000-mile frontier with Mexico.
It's not exclusively a border issue, however.
In fact, U.S. Census Bureau officials also are targeting areas away from the border where large pockets of hard to count immigrants wind up after entering the country.
The Census Bureau has launched a national campaign to better inform immigrants in response to complaints that Hispanics were largely undercounted in 2000.
For the first time, millions of census forms have been printed in Spanish, and the bureau's trying to hire bilingual workers to get into isolated communities.

The government apparently is God, as they are being all things to all people. Your a sad little man who has nothing better to do than complain, stand up and do something. stop hiding under mommys skirt.
The government apparently think they are God, as they are trying to be all things to all people. Let's not keep the illegals from living in Texas and the remainder of the United States. In fact, let's make them all feel at home. Let's continue to make all product packaging we purchase have so dang many different languages you can't see any of them. Let's not offend any of them, especially the Mexicans, by not understanding their language. Let's make sure every business and entity has someone who can interpret for them. It would be wrong to make them speak ENGLISH. In a way, I think they should be counted, because as someone commented, our taxes are paying for them anyway. What I really think is we should vote out the lily livered politicians who do not have the anatomy to stand up and take our state and our country back. And for heaven's sake, don't let Texas be renamed "Tex-ico". Somehow, at the rate this thing is going, I can just feel that happening.
