he said border problems need to be addressed not only for citizens here but for immigrants, who aren’t protected under American laws and are preyed upon by criminal elements.

Well, why is that, Senator? The Fourteenth Amendment requires that all PERSONS within the jurisdiction of the States be protected equally by the laws. Not citizens, but persons.

But, as usual, John McCain pretends that the Fourteenth Amendment doesn't exist. If he acknowledged it, he'd have to admit that the same protection applies to all the little persons in the womb as well.
