" Here's something we -- taken directly from the service employees international union website better known as SE IU according to our US Census Bureau director Robert groves quote. We have the enormous challenge of convincing everyone in the country to participate. In the national count regardless of race if that at this to city or citizenship status. We're unsure what. Regardless of citizenship status joining me now former labor secretary nominee and Fox News contributor in the nation as she is the author of the trail. How union bosses shake down their members and corrupt American politics. What I'm sorry to say I didn't know that focus that I got to pick that up myself that sounds right on the money right now. So help me out let's start with. SE IU. How involved is SE IU. In our political process."

" All well you wanna know why. A President Obama listens to SE IU is a very simple answer they spent sixty million dollars helping elect and they fret about it they helped elect President Obama by taking their union members' money. -- that many of these people pay. In voluntarily. And pouring it into a political campaign so. They are very important and what President Obama is doing now is a little payback to his union friends."

" Okay and that they seem. Absolutely. Critical in almost everything they are they really look almost like the right hand of Barack Obama they are. They are organizing they are advising there are almost a White House entity at this point in my overs."

" No you're not and in fact they even have some former. Union officials who now work their way into jobs that the White House and in other places in the administration. President looks to. Andy Stern and the FBI you as -- his hand -- people out there to help exactly as you suggest transform America."

" OK so why this SCI you why did they want. Why are they pushing for the senses with illegals."

" Well you have to go back and remember what the census is all about the purpose of the census the reason it's in our constitution. Is that our founders decided that we wanted to make sure we knew accurately how many people were living. In a territory and that we would apportion congressional districts by population the whole idea of one man or one person one vote. The critical to that is an accurate count of how many persons are living in a congressional district."

" But if they can't vote. Will than what difference does that me."

" Well that's exactly right and I really liked -- your analogy. To slavery because that's what we're talking about here. We're talking about twelve million people who are illegally in the United States who now this president wants to make sure each and every one of those persons is counted. -- congressional congressional redistricting. And what happens is you end up skewing. Our congressional districts could have a lot of places and places like California Texas New York. Where you have a lot of illegal aliens living. They're gonna be counted in those congressional districts. And you're actually going to see some re shifting after the 2010 cents us we're -- redraw the district lines. And more power is going to go to those districts that have --"

" And -- illegal alien -- play devil's advocate here I'm you'll also shift a lot of power and new delegates to states like Texas. And his Texas has an awful lot of illegal aliens. Idaho has a lot of illegal aliens. You -- has ruled illegal aliens so."

" Well they are actually -- us. Well say they are more dispersed than they have been in the past but here's the problem. I wrote a book about twenty years ago about Hispanics in the United States I first pointed out this problem in that book. In which I talked about districts -- recreated in Los Angeles where in one district for one county council seat. You had fewer than 10%. Of the people living in that district who were eligible to vote. So the people in that district they -- actually counted more. Then people in the neighboring district where most of the people living there were in fact eligible to vote. And that's what that's how it's used it. Now not surprisingly. I in most of these districts many of the states that are going to gain power aren't the so called Blue States they are. That there are states that generally votes. -- democratic candidate in presidential and congressional races. And that's why the FC EIU is very interested in seeing this happen is going to I think we use the number of Democrats."

" I think you know finalists to play the other side I think there's other people that would be watching this program right now helped me you know maybe. Maybe you know leadership of SE IU and they would probably want me to ask you. Why do you hate Hispanics -- much."

" Well I am one though I obviously don't hate myself. And a fact a but you know it and it fact Glenn UN I might actually disagree on some of the immigration issues on I -- for immigration reform might like to start of operation -- for illegal immigration law god."

" Saints -- it I wanna make this very clear as we haven't spent much time on this. Because we've been you know houses on fire. I believe. In immigrants you know what I need people. Who like me who've lived in this country for 3456. Generations. And we are so fat and sassy we have no idea what freedom even means we're just like hey it's this always going to be this way I want people who are. Dying to come here but to be a part of boss and coming in the front door if we start. If we start. Our relationship -- new citizens where it's shady illegal you're breaking the law you can't expect anything good to come from that. And I think it's a crying. That we have people who want to come here good people have been wanting to come here for a long time and the trying to do it the right way. And it's it's failed to get in here it's absolute -- I don't know if we get and."

" And the worst thing -- about these kinds of redistricting it ends up with congressional districts that have huge numbers of people who are in eligible to vote. They're still could be represented in congress the Pentagon have a vote and I have a say in it so this is really all about the political power grabbed. No on the FBI used very much part of it the Democratic Party is very much part of it. And you know that's one of the reasons why it looks like may BS EIU is going to be part of the process of actually county."

" I have heard one thing -- a midnight. Heard one thing from that I have to disagree. You say the Democratic Party is a big part of -- I agree with you on that. But so where the Republicans. I didn't see a big shove from the the Republicans who were also in bed with special interest and big labor and everything else or big companies. Pushing to solve this problem. Thank you very much we'll have more into second illegal immigration some updates that could make things -- much much much much worse."
