Illegal aliens will not be counted for purposes of congressional apportioning thanks to a memorandum set to be signed by President Trump on Tuesday.
Congressional seats and electoral college votes are currently divided up by counting all persons in each district, including illegal aliens. This allows states like California, New York, and Florida to receive more congressional seats and electoral college votes, while diluting political power in states with small illegal alien populations.
States like Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia were projected to lose congressional seats if the illegal alien population was included in congressional apportioning.
The memorandum, White House officials said, will ensure American citizens receive proper representation in Congress without being minimized by apportionment counts inflated by the illegal alien population.
“Today’s action to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment base reflects a better understanding of the Constitution and is consistent with the principles of our representative democracy,” Trump said in a statement.

Excellent, but how can you tell if they lie about their status? If they got a census form, it was because they must have a fake SS number, right?
I found an interesting reference on this question
Excerpt
Section 2 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution provides, “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.” Section 1 of the same Amendment provides, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” The order of these two Sections implies that the persons upon whom apportionment is to be made are persons born or naturalized in the United States.
Read the section before your quote. That section defines the population the following section refers to.
If American citizens that have committed a felony cannot vote (a measure of decision in the operations of the government) how much more appropriate is it that foreign agents, foreign invaders that by just be being in the country have violated federal law and should also have even less authority to vote OR cause any measure of decision in the operations of the government.
Assuming Ginsburg survives the year, we also need President Trump to be reelected.
So does this mean that California will now have ~25 electoral votes in 2024???
Winning bigly!
How do they know if you are a citizen when they count you?
They will know through the IRS!!!
Immediate appeal to scrotus would be in order.
Then went on to inquire which kind of Hispanic/Latino country I was from, or which country considered myself to be from, even after I declared myself “white.”
Lastly, they kept asking just which country my whiteness came from.
Fortunately, for me by doing my own (and others’ as well) family trees came before emigrated to the United States.
My earliest ancestors started mostly in England in the 1800s, the 1700s and even 1600s but none after 1830s and had I not done any research, I could only be guessing as to country and when they immigrated here.
Sure seems then that they had clearly defined who they were talking about.
