Citizenship was never a requirement for representation. Even slaves were counted albeit as 3/5’s of a person. That however does not mean only counting citizens is a bad idea. Why should citizens in high immigrant areas effectively get more representation in congress than citizens in low immigration areas? Doesn’t seem fair does it?

What would the results of such cases be? With our current Court? Worse.

It only takes 51 votes to change the filibuster rules. I have mixed feelings about the filibuster but it is way past time for the majority party to take full responsibility for their agenda be it good or bad.

Good point!
That is why We the People should begin NOW to make our respective cities, counties, states and the FEDGOV DEMOCRAT FREE!
Let us enjoy these four more Trump years and the ensure that JD gets his eight years and JD’s Republican successor has another eight!
20 Trump years ought to be enough time to sort things out to the point that NO DEMOCRAT can be elected! Anywhere!

None of my grandparents were citizens. Of course they should be and were counted. Go back to the earliest censuses...citizenship was never a requirement.
Sure, everyone should be counted. But when apportioning representatives, why would nonvoting noncitizens be included? Even an LPR still owes fealty to their home country, not these US.
