Democrats don't want an immigration bill and here's why

Read the entire article at Committees of Correspondence, but here is a sample:

Question: What is apportionment? Answer: Apportionment is the process of dividing the 435 memberships, or seats, in the U.S. House of Representatives among the 50 states.

Question: Who is included in the apportionment population counts?
Answer: The apportionment calculation is based upon the total
resident population (citizens and non-citizens) of the 50 states.
In Census 2000, the apportionment population also includes U.S. Armed
Forces personnel and federal civilian employees stationed outside the
United States (and their dependents living with them) that can be
allocated, based on administrative records, back to a home state.
This is the same procedure used in 1990

This is an interesting recurring question I get every once in a while
and, unfortunately, been too occupied to answer. There has been talk
to change "persons" under section 2 of the 14th amendment to
read "citizens." Michigan Republican Rep. Candice Miller introduced a
constitutional amendment last year that would change the 14th
amendment to allow only "citizens" to be counted instead
of "persons." The section in question reads as follows:

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states
according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of
persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the
right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for
President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in
Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the
members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male
inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and
citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for
participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of
representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the
number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male
citizens twenty-one years of age in such state. Go read it all here
