Original Note:
This is a misrepresentation of the effect of the bill. No seats would be “added” or representation “given” if the bill is not passed. The status quo for apportioning seats based on population count would remain the same. Rather, the proposed law would take away seats. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7109/titles https://www.npr.org/2024/05/01/1245563450/census-citizenship-question-noncitizens-redistricting-apportionment
