See #44.
My sense is that the Congress can do this legislatively with a removal of any court’s opportunity for judicial review.
The Founders gave Congress the final word on constitutional interpretation.
When was the last time Congress exercised that authority? Wasn't during Reconstruction?
Clearly illegal immigration has been revealed to be a big issue in politics, and not in the way the media expected it to. So why don’t we just amend the Constitution and be done with it? Why settle for something less, something than can be twisted or interpreted differently?
We have enough States to ratify this change, so let’s just do it and stop trying to dwell in the nuances of a particular phrase.
Why couldn't they do this with any constitutional provision - say the 2nd amendment?
Once there's no judicial review anything goes.
