You're missing the point. The argument is that the Constitution requires a count of "the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed," so aliens unlawfully present should be counted and represented. There is no provision for not counting someone because federal funding won't be affected. If the argument for illegal aliens holds based on the words of the Constitution, then so too does the argument hold that visiting aliens should be counted. Persons on vacation on the census date in a different state should be counted in that state. People vacationing outside the country apparently don't deserve representation at all.
Sigh. Look before you leap, dude. Do some of the most basic research, like a Google search, instead of making shit up on the fly.
You're missing my point.
Really...why so combative?
