But MUH "“whole number of persons in each State” means you can count illegals!!!! IDIOTS!!
NO, the Constitution doesn’t allow illegals to force their will upon us! Because illegals are NOT in the country legally (aka not represented), it makes no sense to distribute Congressional seats as if these foreign nationals deserved representation the same as American citizens.
Before the courts became lawless, they ruled that any illegal entrant, “although physically within our boundaries, is to be regarded as if he had been stopped at the limit of our jurisdiction, and kept there while his right to enter was under debate” (U.S. v. Ju Toy, 1905).
Illegals were deemed to be physically outside our borders because it was intuitive to everyone in the legal system that a foreign national cannot unilaterally assert his right to enter, thereby forcing upon us electoral changes affecting reapportionment.
Moreover, the entire purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment — counting “whole persons” as opposed to the original “three-fifths” formula — was to prevent southern states from disenfranchising newly minted black citizens while benefiting from their inclusion in the Census.
The Framers certainly never envisioned this being used as a tool to disenfranchise the entire citizenry — black and white — at the hands of illegal invaders.
Because illegals should not even be in the country, and other non-immigrants such as foreign students and guest workers are here only temporarily, it makes no sense to distribute Congressional seats as if these foreign nationals deserved representation the same as US citizens.
The U.S. population that logically should be enumerated includes U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents (immigrants). As only the former may vote in federal elections, the apportionment of seats in Congress should be done on the basis of the number of citizens in each state.
As an example: If apportionment based on U.S. citizenship had been in force following the 2000 Census, the distribution of seats in the House of Representatives would have been as shown in the chart below…
If illegal aliens can permanently distort our representation, debase our franchise, and dilute our political power, there is no sovereignty, republican form of government, or self-respect as a nation-state.
If a state can be rewarded for disenfranchising the citizenry of this country and thumbing its nose at our sovereignty, then we have no nation at all. There is no issue of greater importance than restoring the franchise to where it rightly belongs — with the citizens of these US.
