Time for the Census to count them correctly.

I agree 100%.

But, I would expect a huge (and dishonest, self-serving) argument from the Dems about the constitutional meaning of representation. The Constitution denied voting rights to slaves, but counted them as 3/5 of a person for the purpose of computing population for apportioning the House of Representatives. Do aliens get 100% counted, because they are people, and they "need" services (Dem position), or zero counted, because they shouldn't be here and have a claim on the government (our position), or 3/5 representation, which would leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, for ever?

Definite Supreme Court material, after an adverse finding in the Ninth.

That's why the Dems/left/media were going bananas over the "are you a U.S Citizen" question on the Census.

It's a good way to start getting the numbers right.

Considering what that Mexican presidential candidate was spewing, seems as though someone would like to create a defacto "American Union", like the EU.
