Why count non-citizens?
Why do we want to count citizens of another country in our census? We counted slaves before they became citizens and could vote, because they had no other political allegiances. If we are going to base our congressional representation and electoral counts on people who are citizens of another country, I would call that a foreign influence on our elections and government.
