Actually, non-citizens are counted in the census. So their numbers are used to decide the size of congressional districts and the number of representatives each state gets in the House. So yes, if you bring over 100 million Mexicans then California gets over a fourth of the House. But the Mexicans still can't vote. And you think no one should have a problem with that.. some did and thus the 3/5ths compromise. There are reasons behind things if you bother to learn them. Reminder, you're bitching about people long dead. Yeah, I have a problem with that. And I suspect the usual racism from whiteboys like you, but stop coming off like a bitchy little c**t. I'm GameBoy. It doesn't impress me. The democratic principle which founded this nation was one man one vote. Every part of the Constitution says that except the few odd concessions to slavery. And the U.S. Supreme Court has determined one man one vote to be the intent of the founders despite their 18th century racial prejudices. The 3/5 compromise was a compromise to maximize the power of the north against the south. But that does not mitigate the ethical issue of only counting an American citizen as 3/5th's of a human being.
