I wrote this to a lib friend of mine:
Honestly, do you really think that the founding fathers were debating and drawing up the Constitution and B. Franklin said “Lets include illegal people for the purpose of apportionment of Representatives” and G. Washingtion, said “I fought the best army in the world and lost lots of American lives to create this new nation and you want to count people from other countries who have no loyalty to this country and they take and don’t contribute and they are a burden to society, and you want to count them for apportionment of Representatives.....Yea, I kinda like that Benji, lets run with that.” You gotta be kidding me if think counting illegals is constitutional, because if you do then you believe this scenario actually happened. hahahaha.
The first real immigration law didn't come about until about 1880.
