President. I fear anything that I would say would be somewhat repetitive. but that is not a touchstone activity here. As I have listened to the debate about "inhabitants" and "persons." I just say once again that I think we can be certain of one thingthat the Founding Fathers were not aware of the definition of "illegal alien." They were very familiar with the word "slaves" because they counted them as a certain percentage of a person. So if they were doing that to slaves at that time. do you really imagine that they would be counting an illegal undocumented person when they were not even fully counting a slave? That gives a little idea of what was going on at that time of our history. a time that all of us might reflect on reality and the beginnings of our country. but I just simply believe that there was no concept of illegal alien. It was not there in 1866 when they did further constitutional amending. and it was not there certainly in the beginning. There is an important school of thought in constitutional interpretation known as "original intent." That school of thought seeks to understand the Constitution based upon the framers original understanding of the issues.
