Language of first census act (1790) referred to 'usual residence' so
apportionment population has always included persons who have
established residence in US.

Of course, slaves (who could hardly be said to have had a 'usual 
residence') were counted at 3/5th percentage until after Civil War 
while American Indians (whose usual residence was torn asunder) were 
excluded from count completely until 1940.      Michael Hoover
