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 Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
