The census count is supposed to count everyone, including illegal

What is the point of counting illegal aliens for the purposes of
assigning seats in Congress?

The census count is done for several purposes (at least, it is now),
only one of which is congressional distribution.

But the un-estimated body count of peoples living within a State DOES
determine how many Congressional representatives a State gets.

Never said otherwise. The point being that that is not the only current
purpose of the census count.
