Criminals may have been hired for census

[Lone_Star_Dem]

Errors by Census Bureau employees may have resulted in 200 people with criminal records being hired to conduct door-to-door canvassing.

The Census Bureau typically takes fingerprints and performs background checks on workers hired to interact with the public. But a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that tens of thousands of workers were improperly fingerprinted by bureau employees.

The GAO fears that the name-checks performed on those employees were not sufficient without fingerprints.

"It is possible that more than 200 people with unclassifiable prints had disqualifying criminal records but still worked and had contact with the public during address canvassing," Robert Goldenkoff of the GAO said in a report to a Senate subcommittee on Wednesday.

3. If they weren't violent criminals I don't have much of a problem with this.

If they were thats a public safety issue because of the nature of canvasing.

I mean - what are you supposed to do with Ex-Cons - just shoot them?

They need jobs and a way to legally do what they need to do to survive....

So they go home to home - good - not all of them are burglars you know

Some may have been arrested for pot - or another drug

This is an article meant to provoke - damned be the Ex-Cons because once a criminal, always a criminal, right?
