    they should collectively be granted 2 senators, a house rep, and 3 electoral college votes.

    650k is more residents than the entire state of vermont, or wyoming.

    The government should be giving them a place to live and food, and paying for it by taxing additional unused residences over 10 or something high like that. Plenty of housing and money for some, and none for others.
