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.

I think I'm learning that whether or not the majority will should prevail is highly subjective and all depends on one's perspective on each particular issue. I think we have reduced the influence of the majority for the past 50 years primarily under the guise of good intentions. The pluralistic group in this nation is often outgunned politically by activist groups representing much smaller demographics.

However should the groups holding the plurality in this nation wish to protest or curtail the smaller more active groups often working to undermine the will of the plurality or even at times the majority then we hear about the pitfalls of majority will like it's some kind of demon.

I disagree.
