Critics yell about the civil rights of illegal aliens. It’s my opinion that illegals, being against the law in the first place, have no rights. Those same critics knew that when their leadership encouraged and made it profitable for illegal aliens to flood our country, civil rights protections would keep them here. As for their love of the US Constitution, they’d sooner roll the document up and beat us over the head with it. Their only interest in the law is when it benefits them and their interests to stay in power.
They plan to allow a migrant invasion, with the end game being the eventual pathway to citizenship or an amnesty, making them lawful citizens. Imagine twenty million new voters voting mostly Democratic. The several hundred vote margins that would win elections today would result in Democrat blowouts, ensuring Republicans would never again hold power. Having given this much thought, I’ve devised a working draft of an amendment to the US Constitution. Its purpose is to repair constitutional protections for illegal invasions the framers never anticipated. Our Constitution is a model of a constitutional republic designed to protect American citizens. The amendment process was made for just this reason. To correct unseen errors or omissions and to continue to ensure that, in a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, citizens come first.

FULL AMENDMENT TEXT
Citizenship and Constitutional Protections Amendment
Section 1. The rights, liberties, and protections guaranteed by this Constitution and its amendments shall apply exclusively to:
(a) Citizens of the United States by birth or naturalization; and (b) Individuals lawfully present in the United States under federal immigration law, including those: 1. Admitted or paroled under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA); 2. Granted lawful permanent resident status; 3. Holding valid non-immigrant visas; 4. Authorized under congressionally established programs such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Deferred Enforced Departure (DED), or deferred action.
Section 2. Congress shall have primary legislative authority to define and regulate the scope and application of statutory protections for individuals not lawfully present in the United States, consistent with Article II powers vested in the Executive. No provision of this section shall permit Congress or any other branch of government to expand, reinterpret, or redefine the application of constitutional rights reserved to persons described in Section 1, except through a further amendment to this Constitution. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the President’s authority under Article II to enforce immigration law, manage foreign affairs, or exercise discretionary parole powers.
Section 3. The terms “person” or “people” as used in this Constitution and its amendments shall, for rights and protections, refer only to individuals described in Section 1. Congress shall not expand or redefine the constitutional meaning of these terms to include individuals not lawfully present in the United States, except through a further amendment to this Constitution.
Section 4. A child born in the United States shall be considered a citizen at birth only if at least one parent is: (a) A citizen of the United States by birth; or (b) A naturalized citizen of the United States at the time of the child’s birth.
Section 5. Unlawful presence in the United States shall extinguish all constitutional protections, entitlements, and causes of action, except those granted solely for the purpose of effectuating removal, lawful departure, or surrender to authorities. No right, remedy, or legal interest shall arise from the unlawful presence of an individual, nor shall any third party derive a constitutional or statutory benefit on that basis.
Section 6. For purposes of congressional apportionment and related federal resource allocation, only United States citizens shall be included in the population count conducted by the decennial census.
