The question is. should legal residents continuously be denied proper and undiluted - representation at the Federal level because of the influx of illegal aliens in the tabulation of total population figures for purposes of the House of Representatives apportionment?

I must reiterate that the amendment that I offered on behalf of myself and a number of other Senators is not designed to be an antiimmigration proposal. It Is not designed. explicitly or implicitly. to hinder the legal immigra. tion process. However.
