Original Note:
The claim that counting illegals for apportionment favors Democrats is false. Counting illegals in the 2020 census resulted in Florida, Texas, and California gaining a seat/vote, while Minnesota, Alabama and Ohio lost one. That left the partisan balance unchanged. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/07/24/how-removing-unauthorized-immigrants-from-census-statistics-could-affect-house-reapportionment/
