You lost me. I'm not talking about a direct rule democracy majority. "Within reason" would preclude the exceptions you mentioned. The devil is in the details and political correctness exploits this very adeptly.. however let's say a majority of Americans wish to severly curtail immigration and send the illegals home? There might very well be a majority of American citizens who feel that way and if their wishes are turned into political power and in turn adverely affect many folks then are they wrong as well? If we have a new Constitutional Convention and revoke the second amendment and i choose to revolt...am I wrong by the defenitions of reasonableness in our Republic?

You've missed the point. The federal control of immigration and protecting our borders is actually a constitutionally mandated job of the Federal Government(which they refuse to do properly). If a large number of Americans wish for that to change, their would need to be a constitutional ammendment. I don't believe it would ever pass.
