sigh…no. blame the census. it counts “free persons” (non-slaves) instead of “citizens” and it always has.
“Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.”
like we tell the left every time they try to abolish guns..should we like to change the constitution, there is a mechanism for that.
has anyone proposed an amendment to the constitution to change “free persons” to “citizens”? no?
it doesn’t matter what house democrats voted for, or not voted for. they cannot change the constitution without an amendment. their vote may as well have been a fart in the wind.
but hey, facts, shmacks, don’t let them get in the way of a good meme, right?
Yes, the long game of the recent few years has been to make sure that such a thing as NY & CA losing seats to TX and FL will not happen again. This isn’t about election 2024; it’s about Census 2030.
Enjoy the comments, you have good input; lighten up some though.;)

Yet illegals are citizens of other sovereign nations, are here illegally, and are therefor criminals. They have no more allegiance to the U.S. than any non-citizen.
It is becoming past time for a Constitutional Convention of the States (by whatever name)…with
one vote per State, regardless of population.

Which means the next two Republican Presidents need to keep those deportation jet engines hot.
Isn’t there a cutout regarding people who are subject to other governments?
nope. it counts “free people”. I quoted the exact passage of the constitution.
we have had plenty of opportunity to change it, and we didn’t. and the dems take advantage of the rules of the game.
we agree to the rules, having plenty of time to review them, then bitch when the other side plays exactly by those rules to our disadvantage.
Illegals are “Indians not taxed”.
no, illegals are not one of the recognized indian tribes that we don’t tax. there is an exact list of those. they’re not on it.
indian tribes are not taxed because they are recognized sovereign nations. an illegal would not be a citizen of one of those sovereign nations.
