re: Should illegal immigrants be counted on the census?

Unfortunately it is to count all persons. And they count for the purpose of representation = unless we enact some sort of 3/5 amendment to stop it.

We certainly need an amendment now that restricts representation to citizens only.

One reason that I like Bandit is that he will tell those on his “side“ when they are full of crap.

Ideologically, I do not think that noncitizens should be included in the count for purposes of apportionment. That is really irrelevant. Constitutionally, it is not even a close call.

This entire debate on the “don’t count them“ side boils down to people claiming the constitution says something because they think it SHOULD say that thing.

Rather like Roe. That Court agreed with the deluded. I rather doubt that this court would do so.
