I kind of accept the arguments for why they should be counted for apportionment

I guess I'm conflicted on this one because preventing immigration is a federal issue but at the same time as some have pointed out some states are complicit in road blocking the Fed.
To be sure the danger of including illegals when apportioning is that even if they can't vote they certainly can have influence over those Representatives and then you end up with de-facto foreign Representatives.
Maybe we need an illegals 3/5ths compromise!!!
