And over and over it is talking about the right of the people. Notice. Mr. Speaker. that this does not say "citizen." I am not always pleased with the decisions of our courts. but I really believe that this Republic we live in is so essential to who we are and our favored status in the world that words do matter. And when the Court says that illegal aliens are people. they are protected by the Constitution. Mr. Speaker. maybe we need to amend the Constitution to say when you read "people" in the Constitution. please read that as "citizen." But that is not what it said.
