Illegal Immigrants Count?
I am disciplined enough to realize that both political parties constantly strive to gain advantage.
In this case, illegals immigrants (who cannot vote) are counted and used to influence the way voting districts are formed.
If they can't vote, why is that allowed?...

Chuck Baldwin writes about the issue at theChurchReport.com:
"What has happened is, the US Census Bureau erroneously claims that it ββis required by the U.S. Constitution count everyone living in this country, regardless of immigration or citizenship status.ββ Accordingly, they have counted millions of illegal aliens in the 2010 Census and are using those figures to apportion the US House of Representatives. If this egregious misinterpretation of the US Constitution is allowed to stand, five states (Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, and Ohio) will lose representation in the US Congress to which they are lawfully entitled, while three states (California, Texas, and Florida) will be awarded additional representation in the US Congress to which they are not lawfully entitled. And, of course, this will also directly impact the makeup of the Electoral College, which ultimately elects the President of the United States."
