MI HR0227

Urges Congress to pass legislation excluding illegal immigrants from the apportionment base used to determine House of Representatives seat distribution.

Notes that as of 2021, an estimated 10.5 million illegal immigrants reside in the United States, with 67.4 percent concentrated in ten states including California, Texas, Florida, and New York.

Argues that including illegal immigrants in apportionment distorts political representation by awarding disproportionate congressional seats to metropolitan areas with high concentrations of undocumented immigrants.

References President Trump's July 2020 memorandum directing exclusion of illegal aliens from the apportionment base and President Biden's subsequent executive order reversing that policy to include all persons regardless of immigration status.

Directs copies of the resolution be transmitted to members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
