I guess the constitution is "Guidelines?"

I was on Face book earlier and came across a friend who had posted a news article from Salon.com.

it was on the recent immigration bill signed into law by the Gov. of Arizona. She called it unconsitutional among other things so I asked, why was it so wrong for a state to protect their borders and their people? before going to read the whole story.

And I read the article. it's here if you wish to read it.

the one glaring problem I saw was that Illegal immigrants were considered citizens by the writer of the article.
Do they even check their facts anymore?

Amendment 14

Section 1: All persons born or Naturalized in the United States, and are subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

well if that's the law, how are Illegals protected under the Constitution?  Did we hand out green cards as these guys that are hopping the fence to get here? did the writer of the article forget this amendment also?

Amendment 10

The powers not delegated to the Untied States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

So are these just guidelines to follow when it's benifitical for EVERYONE?

For the Greater Good and for the Good of the United States, I would not mind being pulled over and asked to show identification/green card/ papers, what have you to show that I'm a citizen of the United States.
