re: Should Illegal Aliens count towards congressional representation?

Persons should be counted for the purposes of apportionment. Not only is that constitutionally correct but once one takes emotion out of it I think it's easily defensible in terms of resource use and other factors

but they also absolutely should be counted in their own category. I mean if we are going to take the time to do a census and we're going to figure out how many black people white people Asian people women and children etc etc etc we're going to have, I see no real issue would also figuring out how many actual citizens vs. Illegals we have.

And again this is easily defensible in terms of understanding the real impact illegals are having on America

And the left can't have it both ways. They can't with one side of their mouth say that illegals don't cost us money and then out of the other side of their mouth say they have to be counted for apportionment because of the resources they use
