"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed." ...Yeah, I think the 14th Amendment is pretty clear on that point. Unless illegal immigrants aren't "persons", of course. Which they could do, but I feel like treating illegal immigrants as non-humans will lead to some unexpected issues. Notice that it specifically excludes "Indians not taxed." It has also been held not to include tourists and other people who are not residents. I think there's a reasonable case that illegal immigrants are not residents. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:923072214] in Politics C...
