People are acting like it's been gone since time immemorial.
Unlike a lot of commenters on both sides I remember when it was taken off. The fears of one side of the debate were realized as it did count a large number of illegal aliens concentrated in Democrat stronghold cities.
Representatives were assigned and gerrys mandered.
It's all about moving the congressional seats around.
I'm against counting illegals because I don't think they should be represented by any elected official in this country. They shouldn't be a constituency entirely on the basis of their illegality.
If you'd like to have a conversation about how best to legalize them because their presence is somehow essential, I welcome that debate.
But they're criminal invaders now, colonizing the places they congregate. I'd be considerably softer in my attitude if they were sneaking in to become Americans, but they're sneaking in to remain nationals of their home countries.
