Are you aware that undocumented aliens will be included in the 2010 census? The primary beneficiaries of this "count" will be border states whose seats in Congress and shares of federal grants will increase. Pennsylvania is likely to come out the poorer. For these reasons and so many others, yet another hot button issue is heading our way. Should undocumented aliens be afforded a 'path to citizenship'?  

We should never underestimate the importance of border security to the safety and stability of our nation. It is estimated that there are between 11 to 20 million illegal aliens in this country.
