It also will not pass the Supreme Court. The Constitution allocates Representatives by persons, not voters or citizens.
But will it pass the Senate? Off course not.

The phrase "counting the whole number of persons in each State" has traditionally been understood to include non-citizens for purposes of apportionment.

That means SCOTUS hasn't said either way yet.
Of course, this is grandstanding as others have noted. Not only would it not pass the Senate, but also will be vetoed.

BREAKING: U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill that would add a citizenship question to the next U.S. census in 2030, preventing non-citizens or illegal immigrants from being counted toward the allocation of representatives and federal electors in each state.
