I believe that John Paul II addressed this question generally and found that the immigrant is a child of God, possessed of inherent human dignity and entitled to be treated accordingly. The immigrant's rights, like our own, come from God and are expected to be secularly guaranteed by the constitution. Read up on Natural Law.

"Immigration reform" has many meanings.

Is the Fourteenth Amendment part of YOUR American Constitution including its Equal Protection Clause?

When the US Government exercises the normal prosecutorial discretion and decides NOT to go postal over "illegal" immigration concerns of the border-obsessed, does your constitution allow for substituting an informal non-governmental prosecution by collective temper tantrum reflecting the sober judgment of adults acting like toddlers in their terrible twos?

Do you have some definition of "persons" as used in the Fourteenth Amendment that allows state politicians in heat for votes to ignore equal protection?

Have you yet actually read the Fourteenth Amendment text?

Aren't we conservatives the folks who believe in the text of the constitution and not in convenient "penumbras" and "emanations" suited to the emotional flapdoodle of the moment? Just sayin'!

You seem capable of asking questions. Answering them: not so much!
