It seems to me that what we have to do now is use the information that we have. and paid for so dearly. Very frankly. I agree with the position that the Constitution should be changed such that illegal aliens should not be counted for the purposes of reapportionment. But that is a separate issue. I will cosponsor such legislation when the same is sponsored. I can understand the merits of those people that argue that illegal aliens should not. in fact. be counted for apportionment purposes. But. to thrust this type of decision now. after $1 billion has been appropriated and spent. seems rather ridiculous.
