Boycotting the 2010 Census

by Don Miller, for Resisting Defamation

A “small but vocal” group of American Latino radicals has called for a boycott of the US Census unless and until the US government moves forward with federal legislation to legalize all the illegal aliens in the USA.

A small but vocal group of advocates is urging illegal immigrants and their supporters nationwide to boycott the 2010 Census to protest the government’s inaction on immigration legislation, a move that, if successful, could cost Massachusetts and other states millions of dollars.

The campaign is setting off alarms across the United States because census figures are crucial to determining how much federal funding cities and towns receive. A large-scale boycott, state officials and prominent pro-immigrant groups warn, could force Massachusetts to cut services from school lunch programs to highway construction, and heighten its chances of losing a seat in Congress.

... Participation in the census is required by law every 10 years so the government can obtain an accurate count of every resident in the United States. But the fine for failure to register is only $100, and the Census Bureau has generally not pursued violators.

... proponents of a boycott say it is a chance to grab the attention of politicians who have failed to pass legislation addressing illegal immigrants, even as their numbers have swelled to 12 million nationwide and 190,000 in Massachusetts - or about 1 in 5 immigrants. Overall, 14 percent of the state’s population is foreign born; most are here legally.

I don’t see any reason why European Americans shouldn’t just attach themselves to this boycott proposal. My reasoning is that the federal government would have a hard time convicting us of a federal violation without going after the American Latinos leading the fight.

Here are some possible grounds for a boycott. Obviously anything like this would have to have support from a significant number of Euro-Am activists who would pick & choose the most appropriate grounds.

Suggestions:

1. We will boycott without clear & convincing legislation & appropriations for completing the wall along the southern border, for verifying every applicant for every job in the USA, and for commencing a sweep of illegal immigrants before January 2010, in order to protect job opportunities for the diverse white American peoples.

2. We will boycott unless the 2010 census offers opportunity to European Americans to express their national origin, continental origin, and ethnicity on the face of the census form, to let the USA know about the depth and richness of our internal diversity.

3. We will boycott the 2010 census unless the federal government offers clear & convincing commitments to fund local programs governed by members of the diverse white American peoples to rescue young white boys and girls from the three principal social ills in which they are over-represented— binge drinking, meth use, and tobacco smoking. The federal government has utterly failed young Euro-Am kids.

Well, that’s a start.

4. We will boycott if peoples of north Africans and middle-eastern origin are not not re-categorized OUT OF THE NON-HISPANIC WHITE CATEGORY, giving us a clearer picture of just how MUBAR (multiculted-up beyond all recognition) we are.

Boycott, good idea, however “we” do not have a Foundation funded advocacy group, like La Raza to make our point public.
The boycott is a powerful tool, we must have the ability to present our reasons for a boycott, publically and formed from our opinion, in order to be effective.

People in our movement our using census data and census maps to show what is happening. If you go to
factfinder.census.gov/ You can find and create ethnicity maps of all kinds down to county level.

Men’s median wages are the same as in 1973. The graph of this is from census data. See graph page 18 http://www.census.gov/prod/2009pubs/p60-236.pdf .

The projections that whites will become a minority, come from who? From the Census.

The Census produces maps and data that prove our side is right. I will list myself as 011 British in solidarity with the British in the UK. In the US 011 British means of British ancestry and doesn’t mean Pakistani. In the UK, British doesn’t mean 011 British in the US Census Code meaning.

Are there any groups that have taken a stand against some of the questiions beyond the mere household count in the 2010 Census?
