Fake Rabbi lost this thread pages ago. Now he wants to act like he's ignoring your posts. He's pathetic.Necessary and proper clause does not confer any additional power. It only allows Congress to enact what is necessary and proper to carry out what was specifically delegated.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.
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.
If your view were correct, anything would be "necessary and proper", which means Congress would have unlimited power Which is self-refuting.
Defense of the country is the enumerated power. Border integrity and control are obvious components of national defense.![]()
I think at this point if he wants to argue that having no control over immigration is the Constitutional Conservative consensus,
he should post what should be an easily acquired long list of conservatives who agree.
