I rise in support of the effort to defeat the previous question and allow a vote on the RidgeGoodling motion to instruct conferees. Whether your state is affected or unaffected. Illegal aliens should not be counted to determine representation in the House of Representatives. The opponents of this motion point to section 2 of the 14th amendment saying that illegal aliens are persons. and thus must be counted. But the Census Bureau does not count everyone who happens to be in the country on April 1. Foreign diplomats and foreign tourists are not counted. even though they are persons. and they are in the country legally.
