Haven't we done this rigamarole already? What's different about it this time that the SCOTUS would uphold it?

Why should illegal immigrants be counted when it comes to house representation

Take it up with the phrase "whole persons" in the Constitution.

They literally are not supposed to be in this country and should get 0 representation in Congress

Again, your fight is with the text of the Constitution itself. This is a brazen violation of the 14th Amendment. Whether or not you think it’s right is a different argument.

So you guys are using strict constructionist thinking when it comes to issues you like but disregard it in other areas

Pot, kettle, etc.

(I think the Constitution is open for much interpretation, but it’s hard to argue that an undocumented person is not a “whole person” if prisoners or children are.)
