True, but Section 2 of the 14th Amendment goes on to refer to those “persons in each state” as “inhabitants,” so it did not mean to include persons tourists, transients or others without legal residency.

The “actual enumeration” that the Constitution mandates for purposes of apportionment of Representatives is supposed to count “persons in each state,” which the 14th Amendment explains means “inhabitants.” This “actual enumeration” is the decennial Census, which, of course, also counts a good many other things and has multiple uses. While I have no problem with the Census counting illegal aliens or persons with temporary visas for purposes of allocating money to states for garbage disposal and whatnot, the data collected for purposes of the decennial apportionment of congressional districts should only count actual “inhabitants.” That means legal residents, which include (i) citizens and (ii) legal permanent residents, but excludes foreign citizens without permanent-resident status such as aliens on tourist visas, aliens with other temporary visas (such as student visas or humanitarian visas) and aliens without any legal permit at all.
