The Census Bureau made it clear they're counting everyone, not just citizens.

Exactly as the Constitution requires. Under section 2 of the 14th Amendment, only "citizens of the United States" can vote for memebers of Congress, but Representatives are apportioned based on "the whole number of persons in each State."
