The Constitution says "We the People" not We the Citizens.Congress which claims to do the will of the people could make a law that allows amnesty for undocumented otherwise law-abiding people a path to citizenship. It must be wondered how representative of the people Congress actually is, rather than theoretically should be.The United States is founded by immigrants, many of whom were undocumented. Some came recently, got married, paid taxes, had families, and stayed on the right side of the law. There can be a way of allowing these immigrants to become citizens of the country they love.They are not "undocumented immigrants".
They are, at best "illegal immigrants".
And truthfully, "invaders" would be more accurate.
NOt wanting criminals to become citizens is not evidence of racism.
THat you present it as though it is, just decreases your credibility.
THe fact this nation was founded by people who came here from a distance, does not mean that we do not have the full and complete Rights of Sovereignty, including the right to decide who we wish to invite to joint us.
Indeed, it is utterly absurd to imply that it does mean that.
Sure, there are a hundred ways to over rule the democratically expressed Will of the People and give these people citizenship.
They are also hundreds of ways of NOT doing that.
Well Congress is the will of the United States citizen more than it is the will of the people.
"We the People of the United States of America" - citizens, in other words.
