洛市長站台 人口普查亞太裔總動員
by 記者楊青洛杉磯報導
「花十分鐘，回答十個問題，讓屬於我們的利益回到我們手中」。洛杉磯地區亞太裔社區25日聯合發起2010全國人口普查亞太裔總動員，洛杉磯市長維拉萊構沙和亞太法律中心主任郭志明站台，呼籲亞裔民眾踴躍參與，讓每一位居民都算入。
郭志明表示，在2000年全國人口普查中，加州約有35%的民眾沒有參加普查，洛杉磯縣不參加普查人口為聖地牙哥五倍以上。僅在洛杉磯市，沒有參加普查的漏網人口就有7萬8000人左右，導致十年前洛市白白失去2億元聯邦補助。
維拉萊構沙表示，作為移民，他非常了解很多民ç ��不願意參加人口普查的原因，一是語言障礙，一是擔心透露自己的個人身分會帶來後患，特別是許多沒有合法身分的民眾。事實上人口普查法律嚴格保護民眾的個人資訊，民眾完全不必擔心。
來自華、日、韓、泰、印及菲律賓等亞太裔社區的人口普查志工和專員參加當天在亞太法律中心的動員會。
洛杉磯人口普查中心華裔專員李鄒筱玲介紹，事實上人口普查程序並不複雜，短表中民眾只要回答十個基本問題，長表雖然問題多達40個，但全國每月只發出2萬5000份，屬抽樣調查性質，絕大多數民眾都將只接到短表。
她表示，民眾將在今年3月15日接到人口調查表格，人口調查辦公室允許民眾有兩個星期回答時間，如果普查辦公室4月1日沒有收到回復，會第二次寄出表格，但如果4月15日之前再未收到回復，普查人員將親往 府上調查。
