Do illegal aliens have Congressional representation? Should they?
"The" definition is determined by the context, not the dictionary. Those who write the dictionary try to determine the meaning from how it is used in context. Sometimes the don't do a perfect job. "The" definition is not necessarily the definition in the dicitonary.
Er, no. You got caught up in a loop and you can't get out of it, because you are wrong and can't or won't admit it.
That's pretty asinine, don't you think.
Your argument is clearly faulted and to resort to such an infantile statement is ludicrous.
Continually denying a "fact" is the height of ignorance. Sadly you qualify on this one.
I'm done.

Congress represents voters. Pretty much ends the discussion, huh? I can't believe it was even a question.
If state A has 5 million adults and 0 children, and state B has 5 million adults and 5 million children, state B gets 2x the representation of state A, even though it has the same number of voters.

Wow. I come home for lunch, and my moring grouchiness pales in comparison.

the number of reps a state has is based on its population. But does that population count include illegals?
no, they'd have to take the census and they dont... But as I said, the reps of that state know the general size of the population and undoubtedly get money to deal with them. The Feds even subsidize prisons so the states get money for every inmate. No wonder the jails are overcrowded, the prison lobby is big.
Yes, the population count includes illegals. The Census Bureau has made clear that they will not hold it against illegals if they answer the census.
I heard that in the 90s before the Repubs got control the Dems were trying to get the census to estimate the population of illegals because it was too hard finding and getting them to take the census. I dont know what the policy is today but I doubt many illegals take the census. States with larger populations certainly have an incentive to ensure illegals can be counted without being deported, so it wouldn't surprise me if we've been making it less dangerous for illegals to identify themselves...and trust the politicians
Yes, the census should count illegals - the Constitution says all free people shall be counted, not citizens or legal people. But does that apply to people who dont actually live here? Could a state get a massive influx of people when a census is underway, lose the population and keep its representation?
And I gotta agree with the Kid, the word "crime" is a subset of the word "illegal". And trespassing should or does fall under the misdemeanor class of (civil) offense. Is it a felony to enter the USA without permission?
