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.
[i]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[/i]
that thing about more seats in congress?
it works [b]the other way around[/b]
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
