The purpose of the hearing was to discuss an Ohio House resolution to endorse a proposal calling on Congress to amend the U.S. Constitution so that only U.S. Citizens are counted for purposes of Congressional apportionment.
As the list of states shows, there are both “red” and “blue” states that stand to gain and lose if the Constitution were changed so including illegal immigrants were not considered for apportionment purposes – the illegal immigrants would be included in the census for other purposes.
As State Representative Kevin DeWine said in the Ohio hearing, “I’d rather Ohio had one extra representative, of either Party, than see that seat go to California.”
