Illegals should be counted, but their numbers should not be used as a basis for reapportionment and redistricting. The only population that should count for those purposes is the number of US citizens

That would require a Constitutional amendment.

From the 14th Amendment: "Section. 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed."
