The problem as I see it is....citizen, legal resident or illegal resident
But you still have to be a citizen to vote...at least in Federal Elections.
Let’s hope the lawyers who will be representing the President in this case, will present a good argument, that the Supreme Court Justices cannot refuse.
I’ve some extended family and inlaws who are legal residents here. They have almost literally every right AND obligation a citizen has except for the right to vote and a risk of being deported if found guilty of aggravated felony (as I understand it at least).
I don’t see them as a problem. While they do not (temporarily, some are already naturalized) have the right to fully voice their political opinion because they can’t vote, they are still legal residents that deserve some representation numbers wise.
I’m not a fan of the 3/5 compromise when it comes to human beings, so that won’t work. It’s an either all or nothing proposition.
The illegals don’t count in my book, but the citizenship question is questionable in my humble opinion.
