How about laws that said illegal immigrant children could not go to public schools or that illegal immigrants were not entitled to free healthcare or social welfare benefits.

Seems like if the law passed by majority prevents the advancement of the social welfare state then there is no “right of a majority to embody their opinions in law.”
