Please cite the clause in teh Constitution that delegates power over immigration to Congress.You haven't done shit other than when people show/explain to you that your OP is incorrect, all you do is claim otherwise.I have spent about 30 pages doing exactly that.You have yet to explain anything as to your OP in detail, you cite constitutional theory and project it on to ideological `leanings. SMFHWhen people don't understand something they tend to laugh.That was my impression as well.![]()
You laugh a lot.
There is no authority in the Constitution for Congress to regulate immigration. Immigration is not naturalization, which is an explicit power granted to Congress. If a power is not explicitly granted to Congress, they do not have it, period.
Regulation of entry has been around since the colonies, it was written into the Articles of Confederation, and was carried over under numerous Plenary Powers of the US.
You're exclaiming "strict constructionist" theory and projecting it onto Constitutional Conservatives without knowing what a Constitutional Conservative actually is.
Yoy make claims without evidence. It has nothing to do with "strict constructionism". It is the very basis of this government: a government of limited enumerated powers.
Oh and btw please cite the language in the Articles of Confederation that authorizes them to regulate immigration.
The necessary and proper clause. Border integrity and control is necessary, therefore immigration control is proper.
