Congress is based on population. So if a non-citizen is counted, then they get a vote in congress. This should not happen. One citizen one vote, is the standard. Not, one person in the world, one vote. Remember US citizens can vote if they are anywhere in the world. So the rule should be one citizen one vote. And that has been the law.
Illogical thinking. Children don’t vote. Would you say the same thing about children? Many adults do not vote.
Does a Congress Critter represent only those who voted for it? Only those who voted? Only those (adult citizens) who could have vote? Only citizens? Also non-ctizens here legally? Also illegals?
Once elected, the Congress Critter represents the DISTRICT and everything in it, both all humans, all businesses, everything.

That may sound good for voting rights, but it has never been the law for purposes of representation. Recall that the initial provision of the Constitution contained a clause about counting three-fifths of "all other persons" for representation purposes. The census has always been a head count, and not a count of citizens. During the early years of the country, due to active encouragement of immigrant settlers for the territories, various states had large populations of aliens, those who had not been naturalized.
There is some ambiguous phrasing in the constitutional provision which refers to "counting the whole number of persons in each state." This has been interpreted to include residents, but not visitors. It may have been better had they phrased it as "counting the whole number of persons of each state." A legal alien may be a lawful resident of the state. An illegal alien could be seen as having no legal status as a resident of the state. That may be a hair splitting contest, which may, or may not, survive legal challenge, but legal aliens have always been counted for purposes of representation.
For an example of in a state meaning resident, and not just present, consider a resident and citizen of California visiting and being present in Virginia at the time of the census, perhaps a military member stationed in Norfolk. With his home of record in California, he could vote in California elections, and should be counted as a resident of California for purposes of representation of that state.
