This is a 36-page article from the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy (Spring 1999) by Charles Wood on the conflict between the "Census Clause" and the "Citizenship Clause" of the Constitution. Should the children of illegal aliens, born in the country, be counted in the decennial census and thus influence apportionment of representation and federal resources?
