Center for American Progress: Impractical and Unconstitutional: Sen. Vitter Tries to Use the Census to Further Anti-Immigration Agenda

"Some politicians come up with dumb ideas. Some come up with impractical ideas that would cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

And then there are those lawmakers with crazy proposals that would violate the United States Constitution.

Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) has hit the trifecta by playing politics with the 2010 Census. Vitter is demanding that Congress cut off funding for the 2010 Census unless the survey asks an additional question: whether the respondent is a U.S. citizen."
