We have a severability. or we could put a severability clause in this legislation sponsored by the Senator from Massachusetts. and then for the first time we will let the Supreme Court of the United States decide something that we need an answer to. What is that answer? The answer is are we going to count illegal aliens in the reapportionment process that gives certain States more representation in the U.S. House of Representatives than they do others? In other words. are a lot of States going to be able to profit because there are hundreds of thousands more illegal aliens in their States? Will that give them greater representation? If we do not stop it here by passing this legislation. they are going to do it.
