Lax immigration enforcement is the not-so-secret key to the Democrats' power grab. And the Obama administration is all too happy to aid and abet.

At a meeting to mobilize volunteer trainees assisting with the decennial national headcount, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke encouraged the government's partners to spread the word that privacy rights of census-takers would not be violated, and that accuracy and fairness would be ensured.
