States with low illegal alien populations should GAIN seats.

We divide up a fixed number of seats. Any seats currently held due to a previous count that included illegal aliens should be allocated to states with smaller illegal populations. Those states have been deprived after 2010.

"Based on the 2010 Census, Louisiana, Missouri, and Ohio each lost a seat in the House and a vote in the Electoral College, while Montana failed to gain a seat and an electoral vote. By contrast, California gained two House seats and two Electoral College votes. And Florida and Texas each gained one seat and one vote."
