Leaving aside, (1) how you would identify the number of undocumented folks, and, (2) whether it would be a good idea...
The constitution is pretty clear that state's get representatives based on "counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed." https://twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/1285644632601382913
The 14th §2 goes on to say that the number will be reduced by the number of male citizens over 21 who are prevented from voting for reasons other than crimes.
So, unless the argument is that undocumented immigrants are actually Indians who are exempt from federal taxes... or that undocumented immigrants are male citizens over 21 years of age who are being denied the vote... they get counted in the apportionment.
second time this evening I have tweeted "state's" when I meant "states."
