Judicial Watch argues that due to this Census Bureau policy at least five states will lose House seats to which they are entitled. For example, based upon the Census Bureau's calculation, Louisiana is being allocated only six House seats, as opposed to the seven that it would have been apportioned, were it not for the inclusion of illegal aliens and "non-immigrant foreign nationals," encompassing holders of student visas and guest workers. The brief also notes that the "apportionment, in turn, determines the apportionment of electors in the Electoral College for the next three presidential elections."
It is the contention of the State of Louisiana, Judicial Watch and AEF that "the policy of counting unlawfully present aliens in the nation's decennial census is unconstitutional and undermines both our federal system of government and our democratic institutions," and is the "direct result of the failure to enforce our nation's immigration laws."
