ROTFLMAO!
Now you are going to appeal to authority as though MORE fallacy will support your absurdities?
If the drafters of the Constitution MEANT "Citizen" they would have used the word "Citizen" just as they did where it was warranted.

Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals -- that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government -- that it is not a charter _for_ government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection _against_ the government. -- Alyssa Rosenbaum

That is one convoluted, and I might add, WRONG interpretation Michael. "The People" mean the Citizens of the United States. Not illegals, not, "The People of France", etc., etc., etc....Numerous case law citations on this very premise, again, I'll come back to it maybe tonight.

- This is becoming silly. Have you actually READ the Constitution?
- Occurrences of 'Citizen'
- In Article III (describing JURISDICTION for the supreme Court):
- between a State and Citizens of another State; -- between Citizens
- of different States; -- between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands
- under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens
- thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
- In Article IV (ensuring reciprocity between States):
- The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges
- and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
- Amendment XI (more jurisdiction):
- The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to
- any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United
- States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any
- Foreign State.
- Dubiously Ratified Amendment XIV (aiding Lincoln's illusion):
- All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
- subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and
- of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law
- which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United
- States;
- Amendment XV (preventing voting disqualification by group):
- The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be
- denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of
- race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
- Amendment XIX (preventing voting disqualification by group)"
- The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or
- abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
- Amendment XIV (preventing voting disqualification by group):
- The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any
- primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for
- President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in
- Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any
- State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.
- Amendment XXVI (preventing voting disqualification by group):
- The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen
- years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the
- United States or by any State on account of age.
- The Constitution, of course, CREATED and LIMITS the Government it created.
- STILL do not know what the Bible has to do with anything.

- The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. -- James Madison, Federalist Papers

- Look at Romans 1:26-27. Also the Constitution and the amendments refer to citizens. Citizens are all persons born or naturalized in the U.S. and subject to the jurisdiction therein. Clearly it does not apply to illegals.

- THIS does not answer the request.
- Someone will need to explain this silliness about 'legal' and 'illegal' immigrants. The US Constitution provides no power whatsoever for the Feds to extend or withhold permission for entry (or exit) into any of the Sovereign States. Besides, 'migration' is a natural right.
- Additionally, rights are inherent in Man's being -- not permissions as you imply.
- Not certain WHAT the Bible may have to do with anything.
- As an aside, do you have any problem/difficulty with the THEFT and SLAVERY promoted by both the Ds and Rs?
