You proved my point.
Even conservatives favor governmental action not specifically written into the Constitution. The philosophy of "textualism" that we follow only the text in the Constitution means "unless there are things we want government to do not actually included in the document."
I did not say I oppose any of these powers, only that those who are critical that government has exceeded its constitutional power also favor those same laws.
Can you cite the provision about protecting the borders? Defending against foreign enemies is not the same thing as immigration control.
Last time I looked, the Executive executes the laws of the land and oversees the Border patrol correct?
6 U.S. Code § 211 - Establishment of U.S. Customs and Border Protection; Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, and operational offices
This is why I hate arguing with idiots; they have to be educated instead of being capable of debating.
No. They are two different things. Defending against enemies does not necessarily mean at our borders, as evidenced by just about every war in modern times.
Legislation dictates what occurs at our borders, which is, of course, the responsibility of the Executive branch.

Our constitution was never well written in the first place.
It was fraught with compromises in order to merge incompatible former colonies into one nation.

This has to be the most asinine, uninformed post I have ever seen. Do you have something that was better written shit-for-brains.
More evidence of how badly our leftist educational establishment is failing us.
And yet, with all it's flaws, still one of the best documents for governance ever written by mere mortals.
