Yet the Constitution itself distinguishes between citizens, and people, with the latter being more expansive. Do you think the Founders erred when they wrote the First Amendment?

You have your opinion, I have mine. It is no different that not allowing foreigners to vote, or avail themselves of our publically funded service - at least it used to be.

Decades ago, before a legal immigrant to this country could enter it, someone had to warrant that the entrant would not become a public burden. I had to certify this for my wife.

You can word game it all you want, but I suspect if the Founding Fathers were alive today and saw what is going, they would be very much clearer in what they said.
