I am familiar with the so called "issues" about the 14th Amendment and don't think you need to have a J.D. to understand the limitations the authors had in place.
How many folks do you think have read it? Not the Constitution ... the 14th Amendment. Give this passage to most any junior high school Civics class (that was my experience), and ask about the intent ... how's about on a final.
The symptoms we rant about daily on these threads mostly have to do with affects on infrastructure and should be of concern to all citizens. It is interesting to note when these "other" voices are heard they normally use the word "residents'" needs and "rights."
I've NEVER liked that ol' bull "as California goes, so goes the nation," but they'd better WAKE UP!

Most are aware but afraid or ignorant of how to deal with it.
That is all subject to change. Give it a year or two until it really comes to a head all across the nation. That's the way it is headed.
