...The debate over whether noncitizens in the country unlawfully should be counted for representation is really a debate about political power, federal apportionment, and how the census should be used. Supporters of exclusion argue that House seats should reflect the citizen population and not reward states for unlawful immigration. Opponents argue that the Constitution has historically tied apportionment to total population rather than immigration status. The core question is whether representation should be based on everyone physically present or only those lawfully entitled to political membership in the country. #CensusDebate #Apportionment #ImmigrationPolicy #Constitution #AmericanPolitics https://www.instagram.com/p/DV1hWS-D0vt/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
