Sorry, I know what I wrote about. The Supreme Court ruled 10 or 15 years ago or so that everyone is included in the population count and is included in the apportionment.

I'm sure you can google it and find out.

Let's assume that tomorrow 20 million people from Mexico flood into California.  This would make the population of California approximately 60 million, out of 350 million in total.  This would mean under apportionment they would have 75 seats, approximately, if that argument holds out of 435.

Ok, what if 200 million people were to flood into California over a 10 year period?  None of them are citizens and yet now one state, under that "read" of the Constitution as amended, results in it having forty-five percent of the entire House, or one hundred and ninety-six seats.

The entirety of the rest of the nation no longer has any representation at all; the entirety of the United States House is now beholden to and both can and will pass laws on the predicate and demand of non-citizens.

This outcome is patently absurd as to "interpret" the Amendment this way means we no longer have a nation that is bounded by the Constitution and its representative process in any form.  In other words this "interpretation" is an effective repeal of the entirety of the Constitution, not only as originally written but as amended.

That's absurd and thus cannot be the intent of the language in the 14th Amendment. - Karl Denninger

I have researched it and I don’t use Google because they hide and omit results that inform in ways they oppose.

The fact you say you know it all and push to use Google for research reveals you are not a serious research analyst.

Good day to you.
