The Orange County Board of Supervisors will...
The Orange County Board of Supervisors will consider at its meeting Tuesday a resolution that all county residents, including illegal aliens, be counted in the 1990 census.
Officials estimate that the count would be about 200,000 people short of how many actually live in the county if the census does not include illegal aliens. The lower count would result in the loss of an estimated $56 million a year in federal revenue, officials said. It also might result in the loss of representatives in Congress, because the census is used to determine districts based on population. (A U.S. House-Senate conference committee on Thursday agreed to allow illegal aliens to be counted, apparently assuring that they will be part of the census.)
The Board of Supervisors meets at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in the Robert E. Thomas Hall of Administration, 10 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana.
