Should they maybe count 3/5?




I get the reference. Not funny. They should not count. Period.

Well, since illegal aliens are (at least in theory) subject to deportation at any time if caught, one could question whether they should be properly termed "free persons". I had forgotten that Amendment XIV explicitly changed the apportionment rules (as opposed to having such change be an implicit result of Amendment XIII's turning slaves into free persons).
