the actual text.
The actual text keys reduction of representation to an act of denial by a state of the right to vote. It does not mention immigration or citizenship status.
This is hogwash.

Show me where the text states that the denial is from an act taken by the State.

Thus, the WORDS (strict construction) say that the argument is silly. Further, the INTENT (originalism) says “States who prevent CITIZENS from voting will get fewer members of Congress.”
NO “interpretation” outside blatant judicial activism reaches the result of not counting non-citizens for purposes of apportionment.
