Should illegals and non citizens be counted in the census when considering reapportionment?

Question

My feelings is that non-citizens should be counted AS NON CITIZENS (illegals deported) and therefore the non citizen numbers SHOULD NOT be counted toward reapportionment. Afterall, aren't our elected officials suppose to represent THE CITIZENS?

Most Americans don't realize that their democracy redistributes political power based on the settlement patterns of illegal aliens and other non-citizens. These changes are significant enough to shuffle around a bunch of seats in the House and alter the outcome of a presidential elections. So it makes sense that the government's practice of treating illegal aliens the same as citizens for purposes of apportionment will favor dems. Noncitizen apportionment allows the creation of congressional districts full of people who don't have the right to vote--and Democrats almost always win in these places. People whose very presence in the United States is against the law are granted formal representation in Washington. It's just so wrong!

Answer 1

If illegals are counted for reapportionment purposes, perhaps we should also consider areas housing prisons for reapportionment purposes. In both cases you're counting criminals.
