Count only U.S. citizens for congressional apportionment

Mary Miller supports changing the 2030 Census so that only U.S. citizens are counted for congressional apportionment. She urges excluding all noncitizens, including green-card holders, temporary visa holders, and other foreign nationals, from the count used to allocate congressional representation among states. Miller says this would prevent states with large noncitizen populations from having their representation distorted.

Context: Miller backed the proposal in a joint letter urging the Census Bureau to adopt reforms; the source describes them as proposed, not enacted.
