    At any rate, all liberal Californians should support representation based on illegal status.

          I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is yes. Drugs remain illegal thus ensuring their monopoly.

              Obviously I should have been clearer.

              What I mean is this: the number of reps a state has is based on its population. But does that population count include illegals?

              If so: Texas, say, would then have an extra congressman, owing to the size of its illegal population. Is that appropriate?

              If not: the constitution says to count people in apportioning Congress -- it says nothing about thehir legal status. So then should states with more illegals get more Congressional representation?

                    People here on vacation don't live here. Illegal aliens do.

                    A better question would be, "should we count all those Indian tech workers in New Jersey who are here on H1B visas?" That's a good question.

                      A sizeable number of illegals pay taxes, if only because they're working on phony social security numbers.

                        if they can't be counted they can't be represented
                        if they would just get their own SSN then they would be represented

                          You are refering to income tax I suppose. So what about people who don't make enough to pay income tax?

                              First you claim that they shouldn't be represented because they are criminals (comparing them to murderers), which isn't true. They haven't broken any criminal law.

                              Then you claim that they shouldn't be counted because they don't pay taxes when there is no law that requires you to pay taxes in order to be represented.

                              Now you are saying that they can't be counted? WTF?

                                You have been wrong at least 4 times in this thread. I say that you should not be represented in Congress for that.
