The principle of "one man. one vote" is part of the foundation on which our Nation is built. but it should not be extended to people who are here in violation of our law. To use population figures that Include these people hurts legal citizens and the practice should be stopped. In 1980. both Georgia and Indiana lost a congressional seat because other States had enough illegal aliens to raise their population figures. This same situation will exist In 1990. but on a larger scale. I strongly urge my colleagues to do the right thing and vote in favor of the Ridge amendment.
