Do you think that only citizens should be counted in the census
On the census there's no question that asks if a person is a citizen or even legal immigrant

@Dshhh consitution was written before immigration laws were established. We need to count only citizens cause the illegals allow states like ca more seats in Congress

@Mountainlady16 that is NOT the purpose, we need to know how many people are here, for more practical purposes. like infrastructure and schools etc.
you are also assuming that the purpose of counting every one is a deliberate attempt, by SOMEONE to skew this.
that would be those that WROTE the Constitution, not those that enforce it
that thing about more seats in congress?
it works the other way around
divide a states population, by the number of Senate seats. you find small populations states get fare better representation per capita.
Vermont get a much better ratio than say New York
