“Removing the 3/5ths compromise opened up a loophole to count non-citizens.”

Yeah, but we all know why they were “non-citizens”; they were “legally” already here but not counted because they were slaves. The “illegal aliens we’re now talking about have crossed our borders on their own volition.

Also, the 3/5ths thing was a Southern demand from the Democrats at the time . . . certainly not from the abolitionist Republican party.
