Amdt. XIV, Sec. 2 says representatives and direct taxes are to be apportioned to the states "according to their respective numbers". It doesn't say citizens, and is implying residents. This makes sense when you consider that non-citizen residents require government services, even if indirectly (such as infrastructure).
The Supreme Court should go by however the situation was dealt with early on when the founders could have complained.

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
