Mr. President. this is a pretty straightforward amendment. Throughout this debate on immigration. we have heard how illegal immigration affects practically every aspect of our life. What many may not realize is that illegal immigration also affects the very foundation of this countryour system of representation. especially in the House of Representatives. Currently. the policy of this Government is to count illegal aliens in the U.S. census and to use those numbers for reapportioning seats in the House of Representatives. Studies and census data also show that most illegal immigrants reside in just a few areas of the country. And just by being there. illegal aliens have a great deal of influence on how the seats of the House of Representatives are distributed among the States. I ask the manager of the bill how he wants to proceed on this amendment?
