No, the Constitution most certainly isn't absolute.
Lest we forget, the Constitution of the United States once included the Three-Fifths Compromise.
Why do I suspect that Constitutional absolutists are still seething the most over that change?
What about them?
Go back and read what you wrote -- you might want to edit for clarity.
We've got 27 amendments that prove it's not.
What do you have?
I already did.
None of your hypotheticals seem to have anything to do with your original question, which was do more people emigrate to the US legally than the 100,00 illegally caught crossing the border in February.
To which the answer appears to most definitely be a yes. Somewhere north of 1.8 million people legally become emigrees just via permanent residency and naturalisations. This doesn't count other intakes, such as refugees, asylum seekers and special visa recipients.
The 10 year average is notably lower, at about 1.2 million emigrees per year. Based on that, the flows are level pegged- but that ignores the ~300-400,000 deportations and the hundreds of thousands of 'returns' (people detained at/near the border and put back across it) per year.
Don't be silly. They are equally annoyed by the 19th.
Evidence that the left is trampling on the 14th?
If the left gives enough benefits to new immigrants it can be expected that at least initially they will vote for Democrats.
What we have now is a power grab,
making it easy for non-citizens to vote is key.
I asked, "what do you have?"
How does a non-citizen register to vote?
I answered.
Using the documents or information of a citizen of course.
How often does that happen?
Universal suffrage?!
Count me in!
..but not correctly.
The mere claim that the Democrats are trampling the fourteenth amendment is evidence of nothing.
So I ask again: What do you actually have?
Yeah....that actually does have to do with the original question since it relates to the number of people following the legal process vs those breaking it at some point.
However, I'm willing to concede that both the lack of clarity regarding my post and the lack of available data makes it difficult to ascertain the facts.
It's also not counting the number of people who gained legal status despite entering the US illegally.
If you want a simple calculus of that....
You can take the popular number of illegals the left likes to estimate are in the US every year.
That's about 11 million
...
Since the estimate of 11 million illegals never really changes....or at least it hasn't every year for around the last decade...
We can reasonably assume that a significant number of those illegally present gain legal status every year.
Are you asking for how many examples I can find? Or an estimate of how often a crime occurs?
