Time for the Census to count them correctly.

I agree 100%.

But, I would expect a huge (and dishonest, self-serving) argument from the Dems about the constitutional meaning of representation. The Constitution denied voting rights to slaves, but counted them as 3/5 of a person for the purpose of computing population for apportioning the House of Representatives. Do aliens get 100% counted, because they are people, and they "need" services (Dem position), or zero counted, because they shouldn't be here and have a claim on the government (our position), or 3/5 representation, which would leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, for ever?

Definite Supreme Court material, after an adverse finding in the Ninth.

Not that the democrats will EVER vote for this, but we need to:

1. Build the wall.

2. Enforce the law with regards to businesses knowing hiring illegals. Jail for owners.

3. 50% tax on electronic remittances to Mexico.

4. More raids, more border patrol agents, more immigration judges.

According to the Constitution, everyone (except non-taxed Indians) gets counted. Has nothing to do with whether they vote or not. Short of amending the Constitution states with large numbers of illegals are going to extra Representatives and thus extra electoral college votes.
