President Trumps top immigration spokesman on Wednesday said that there are potentially 22 million illegal immigrants inside the United States, nearly twice the estimate regularly cited.

this is why
Alabama v US Dept of Commerce is so important. Alabama is suing to have illegal aliens excluded from the counts used for Apportionment.
That is really what the "Citizenship Question" was all about. If Commerce can not determine an accurate count of illegal immigrants, then they can't be excluded from the counts and the case will be thrown out. When Roberts screwed us again, Trump had a nice Ace card to play and the numbers generated will actually be more accurate than those that would come from the Census.
If Alabama wins this lawsuit it would have a significant effect on the Apportionment of Congressional seats, California alone could lose 5 seats.
