Senate Candidate Courts Illegal Alien Votes

Carl Andrews | February 9, 2010 

In Florida, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio does not want illegal aliens counted in the 2010 census.

Governor Charlie Crist, also a contender for a seat in the Senate, does want illegal aliens counted.

Crist’s reasoning is that by the illegal aliens not being counted, the census will not show an accurate reflection of Florida’s population, and therefore will reduce the amount of federal funding that the state receives.

So one the one side, you have Mario Rubio who, in accordance with federal law, does not want   the census to count illegal aliens counted as American citizens.

And then you have Charlie Crist, to whom illegal immigration takes a back seat to Florida receiving it’s “fair share” of federal pork.

A skeptic might consider an ulterior motive to Crist’s position would be looking like a hero to the illegal immigrants, and thus gaining their votes.

Because hey, if they aren’t bothered by breaking one federal law by being in the country illegally, why would they have any qualms about breaking another one by voting for a man who stood up for them?
