Amendment 14, section 1 states that States may not "abridge the priviliges or immunities of citizens of the United States". It follows, then, that States must be capable of distinguishing between citizens and non-citizens.

Birth certificates, naturalization documents. What more do you need? Have the states been having trouble complying with this section because of inability to make this "distinction"?

Section 5 states that Congress may legislate regarding this issue.

No, it states that Congress can enforce the amendment. Enforcement means to impose consequences for failure to comply. It doesn't mean anything else.

QED.

Not even close. Stick to chemical proofs.

Just run along to your so-called "Free State" where anyone and everyone can wander around concealing their identity. We'll see how much trouble is caused.

I do hope that his chemical analysis is better than his political reasoning....

Alas for Little Willie
We'll not see Willie more
For what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4
