I provided a statement by the author of the 14th amendment that specifically denies illegal aliens are protectred by the 14th amendment.

You did not. You provided provided a statement by the author of the 14th amendment that specifies that illegal aliens are not protected by, in his words, "the Citizenship Clause" of the 14th amendment. Granted; illegal aliens are not "citizens."

But the Citizenship Clause is not the only clause in the 14th Amendment. The Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, by distinction, protects not "citizens" but "any person." Aren't illegal aliens "persons"? Or are they vegetables? Or animals?

Illegal aliens are person's of other countries unprotected by our constitution. Illegal aliens are criminals that have no allegiance to this country, therefore it makes no senses to give them constitutional rights so they can shit all over us and destroy our nation.

Perhaps you could explain why it is you like the idea of illegal aliens having Constitutional rights.
