The church Henry the 8th started when the Pope wouldn't let him get divorced. It and Catholicism have traded places as the UKs official state religion a few times over the years, causing absolutely no problems whatsoever.

Would a 12g 3060 work?

Neither do children, and yet they're still taxed. And non citizens do get to vote in some elections.

To actually answer your question tho, they vote with their feet. If the representative in their area isn't doing what they want, they can move which reduces the population count for apportionment. Your proposal removes that little bit of leverage legal immigrants have to affect change.

At least in the US, they lock things down so heavily that they're the only one able to do most repairs, so they've got tons of people in house or for body work they'll have someone they exclusively sub-let the work to.

And I'm saying it's NOT reasonable to only count citizens.

Since you're curious, in 2022 Texas had 3 million non citizen legal permanent residents (green card holders) that's about twice as many as the number of people immigrating illegally.

All the green card holders came here legally and followed all the rules, but you're wanting to force them to have taxation without representation? That's fucking absurd and un-american.

Except that's not how the Constitution is currently written:

. . . shall be determined by . . . the whole Number of free Persons . . .

It doesn't mention citizens for apportionment.

Not just a fight but a death threat.

I totally where you're coming from, but my perspective is a little different having worked for them.

Fwiw, only the manager has the key for locked boxes in CVS. Cashier only has the giant magnet to remove the security caps on the liquor bottles. It's one of the only reasons I could tell my boss to go do something when I worked there, like: 'hey boss, will you go unlock the baby formula for this nice lady, she's in a hurry'. And the cherry on top is getting to force the manager to actually put things away (and re-lock it) at the end of the night instead of sitting in the back office on their phone 'counting down the drawers'.

Then again things may have changed since I was there, and cashiers have keys now, but with how little corporate trusted cashiers back in my day I really doubt it.

HA, no. If you see this, flag down an employee, tell them you don't have your cell phone, and make them get the item for you. Then when you go up front to check out, say nevermind and leave.

Sorry, my point was that spider pig was more likely than spider ham due to cross licensing issues between Sony and Marvel
