I continually hear Leftists make this claim. And it makes me shake my head. All one has to do is read the preamble to the constitution to see the clear original meaning of the rights contained therein.
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.
It doesn't say "We the people of North America." Or "We the people of the world." It specifies Americans. Citizens of the United States.
That being the case, by what constitutional power do non-citizens or people who are criminally in this country without proper documentation have those rights?
Will one of the Leftist/Progressive posters on here calmly and logically explain this to me?
