After Chief Justice John Roberts illegally colluded to block a question on citizenship from the last census, President Trump is vowing to bring it to the next census. The usual response is to misappropriate the 14th amendment, which was dealing with past attempts to limit the representation of slaves, and scream that it will limit representation.
True and that’s the whole point.
Elected officials are supposed to represent the people who vote for them. Not the people who don’t vote for them. This is a point so simple that challenging it also challenges the whole premise of the American Experiment in political representation. If non-citizens should be used as a basis for apportioning congressional districts, then why not let them also vote? Democrats would agree with this last part, they would just deplore the legal limitations which were more clearly written into the laws.
But if ‘ghost districts’ full of non-citizens, including illegal aliens, serve to apportion congressional districts, than the population of illegals ‘votes’ by existing, and thereby creating the district.
That is a big part of why California and some other states are the way that they are. We have a population that is not legally allowed to vote and yet that shapes elections. And taxpayers are effectively outvoted by that population which then extracts their resources for welfare.
No taxation for illegal alien representation is a basis for representative government. People who can’t vote shouldn’t be allowed to shape electoral districts and then extract taxpayer money.
Otherwise why even have representative government by way of elections?
