I tried to use the gun argument as not the same context existed then as now, when it was drafted.
The spirit is the same, or intentions, however do to many factors, like how quickly a gun can kill wantonly by a criminal mind, I believe safeguards, or perhaps a more accurate definition of what they/it ( the constitution ) means by arms.
Same with the 14th. We had a great expansion of folks coming into the country, many bypassing any form of registering, often it didn't even exist as the forming of the nation and states were still in flux, so they simplified it with regard to the children they had once here, after the nation started getting more organized, etc.
That situations is not true of today.
Yes, many, many folks come here for a dream.
Some come to kill us now, terrorist.
They use our freedom, that they do not grant to others, to kill those of a belief they find in opposition to them, real or not.
Because our immigration system has not updated to modern technology or context, its failure is causing hardship on more than just the dreamers, its causing it on legal citizens, as well as those who try and enter the country legally.
Tho I have no firsthand knowledge of it, I know many at work who came over here as children from Asia.
They often do bring families later, and they share with me the cost and energy it takes, it quite staggering.
Also, I know a few guys, white dudes, and a few Black guys, who married some Asian girls, at work.
A couple of them had their wives return back to their native country.
I am not real sure of the cause, or reason, but they have to pay lots of money, and time, to get them back.
That sucks!
We need a viable, workable system, it only makes sense, for EVERYONE, or we will just keep doing the same thing over and over again....thats crazy!
try making sense and not using hearsay or anecdotes to make your point, cause that gibberish above ain't gonna cut it.
statistically, most of the terrorism we have here is from home grown terrorism, not immigrants, yeah yeah, the boston bombers and 9/11 and maybe San Bernadino. But the Vegas shooter, Columbine, Timothy McVeigh, the Unabomber, the 1996 Alanta Olympics guy, Charleston church shooter, the baseball congress guy, The texas Church shooting.... all acts of violence, most not immigrants.
