>That’s true for pretty obvious reasons
Illegal immigration can best be thought of as a slow-moving constitutional crisis. An increasingly large portion of the electorate wants decisive solutions to illegal immigration and will vote for the person who gives them that, regardless of the constitutionality.
This argument can be raised by anyone seeking to undermine the Constitution as it relates to any pet cause they care most about.
“Wealth inequality is… therefore property rights don’t matter”
“Climate change is… therefore freedom of movement doesn’t matter”
“Foreign influence is… therefore freedom of speech doesn’t matter”
“School shootings are… therefore the second amendment doesn’t matter”
All the same seditious, un-American attitude.
We have a system for resolving these disputes! It’s all laid out in the Constitution.
