It seems reasonable that these immigrants would still be counted as part of the census. They are part of the population, and laws that are put in place by representatives have a pretty direct impact on the immigrants living in their counties or states (whether they came in legally or otherwise).
The Constitution says count whole persons – it makes no reference to the whole person's legal status.
Mr. Predident, the evidence is good enough. Fire those corrupted internal enemies, take actions of deploying the Limited Martial Law and activate Executuve Orders to arrest criminals and evil forces not too late. Timing is everything !! Freedom patriots Americans will stand up together with U….
Both FOX and the Heritage Foundation are DEAD
"Should not" ?? …. Are you kidding !?
WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS PERIOD .
This shouldn't even be a topic of discussion, illegal aliens should not be counted to determine representation because they are not due any representation.
SHOULD we count the 8 BILLON on the PLANET? This is just more RULE BY DECEPTION… RBD…
If Citizens of other countries can vote because they are here illegally…. why not let all Tourists vote while they are here, or the 100,000 + Chinese students in our Universities…. or Just let the whole world vote in our elections ( by UNIVERSAL MAIL IN BALLOTS, ofc)
We cannot , as a nation, allow Illegal Immigrants to be counted for Congressional Apportionments…. Very Simple Really…. Illegal Immigrants are Citizens of Foreign Countries
how is this even a question?
I used to be on and off in an illegal status for a long time years ago before i went back to my country . Back then no one knew we existed , at times we even had to pay normal taxes ( using a fake ssn ) of course without reimbursement or anything . Now illegal immigrants apparently get free money , in some states they can drive , hell some of them even voted for Biden . It's weird how this 2020 is working out .
Simple…your not here legally…your not counted in our legal person census
I'm sorry but this is the last straw. The HF is no longer trust worthy in my eyes. It's been a few months and I have been watching them closely. They seem to be in league with the deep state. I may be wrong but announcing to the world just how vulnerable the US Military is was a BIG RED Flag. Now they use fox news aka fake news as a source, again? Time to unsub folks C ya. (Jumps Ship)
So, why should they be represented if they don't want to be acknowledged? Whoever's supporting these people and sponsoring their presence in our communities should have to answer these questions to "we the people".
Calling illegals immigrants legitimizes immigration and citizenship.
This is insane. Haven't we had enough, yet?
Joe concede going to jail for treason cheating on Dems are EVIL DESTROYING AMERICA nothing is right to them We WILL LIVE In A HELL On EARTH IF THEY WIN WE WILL lose our freedoms. they have made there states like hitters Germany AMERICA FIRST biden found GUILTY by we the people
Only should be getting anything from the United states they should get what they want from there own country for that means that the tax payers will have to pay for everything and that is not right for the tax payers to pay so that the states were they are living will get more money in their budget for state and local governments no way
OBAMAMS THIRD TERM CUMMING UP!!!!!!

State governments need to be de- incentivised by taking away federal funding based on illegal aliens residing in thier district. Have them pay the tab to have the illegals processed and shipped home as well.
RACISTS!!!!!!!!!!
Mike Howell is awesome. He corrected this reporter over & over & instantly. Her questions were misleading & Mike had to EDUCATE her live on t.v.
Granting states more representatives based on people who are here illegally devalues the votes of citizens in other states.
Illegal aliens should not be allowed any representation in any country, in fact name one country where you break the law and are allowed representation for not getting
kicked out, you can't no one can, and the excuse the founders never mentioned illegal aliens could not be counted (so they should be counted) because they thought
future politicians were smart enough to figure out that they didn't deserve representation, the founders never said murder was wrong either do we need the
supreme court to weigh in on that as well, freaking ridiculous that there is even a debate at all about this, you want to be represented in the USA become a legal citizen.
Oh I know why they want to count them so Democrats can use them for illegal voting.
WILD GUESS, liberals will cry "racism".
How do they even get to vote?
They are illegals will not stay here!! And NOT citizens
This is why the Left fought so hard to keep the legal/illegal immigrant question off the census. They've lost so many residents in the stronghold states like CA & NY over the past decade or 2. They have to make them up with illegals.
… Yup … imagine that …
They're illegally here. They shouldn't count as they shouldn't be here in the first place. Pay the fee and get in line.
I believe you are right
