Would Texas or Florida lose a seat in the House, if all the illegals were not counted?

Probably. As would CA.

As a rough cut, each US Representative represents about 770,000 people. CA and TX have a bit over 2 million undocumented residents. FL is closer to 1.5 million. So CA and TX would likely lose 2 and maybe 3, while FL would be 1 or 2.

But where would those seats go? To states with relatively lower undocumented populations. But it’s complicated.
