"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.
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.

Congress represents voters. Pretty much ends the discussion, huh? I can't believe it was even a question."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber

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

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.
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?Last edited by Berzerker; June 15, 2007, 00:12.
