Re: Constitutional Protections Against The Invasion of Illegal Aliens

Yes, they do.   Especially 3 and 4.  The remainder of the clauses deal with illegal immigration, which is, "invasion".

 

As for the rest of your points, I will be back later.

The US Constitution provides the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch with a number of inherent powers, to include the enforcement of immigration laws.  For starters,  let's begin with the Preamble:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America".

We the People (of State unknown until ratification) in order to accomplish these six (6) goals establish THIS Constitution.

There is no assign of Power contained within this 'mission statement' -- implied, inferred nor stated.

They will waste but little time on the attempt to cover the act by the preamble to the Constitution, it being contrary to every acknowledged rule of construction to set up this part of an instrument in opposition to the plain meaning expressed in the body of the instrument. A preamble usually contains the general motives or reason for the particular regulations or measures which follow it, and is always understood to be explained and limited by them. In the present instance, a contrary interpretation would have the inadmissible effect of rendering nugatory or improper every part of the Constitution which succeeds the preamble. -- Jonathan Elliot _Debates on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution_

the Constitution mandates that the Congress (and the President) protect American sovereignty and the American People.  Let's begin with Article One, Section Eight, which deals with the Powers of the Congress, and all of these Sections are applicable :

Clause 1:  "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
Clause 3:  "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes";
Clause 4:  "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States";
Clause 11:  "To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water";
Clause 15:  "To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions"

NONE of these Powers have *anything* to do with immigration.

Clause 20; "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress";

Which has NOTHING to do with immigration.

Even Article One, Section Ten, Clause Three gives the States the right to defend themselves with the invasion by illegal aliens:

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

NOTHING here about "illegal aliens" (whatever that means) OR immigration.

I am rushed for time right now, but I will pick up on this thread later, and we'll touch upon the other inherent powers by the Congress, and delve into the Executive Branch's ability to stop the invasion and detriment to our Nation that illegal aliens pose.

In other words LATER you will seek to 'make up' some justification for what simply does not exist.
A cursory amount of research will reveal that "immigration" was a USURPATION  ... first by the court in the very late 19th Century (paralleling the rise of the Nanny State) and then with seemingly innocuous requirements by the Congress in the 1920s (as the Nanny State begins to become firmly entrenched).

The Constitution simply does NOT support this nonsensical Statist tyranny.
Legitimate Government is to SECURE Natural Rights -- such as the right to migration -- not to tyrannically quash them.

Modern nationalism and collectivism have, by the restriction of migration, perhaps come nearest to the "servile state." …Man can hardly be reduced more to a mere wheel in the clockwork of the national collectivist state that being deprived of his freedom to move.... Feeling that he belongs now to his nation, body and soul, he will be more easily subdued to the obedient state serf which nationalist and collectivist governments
demand. -- Wilhelm Röpke
