It obviously is not the Constitution but it is now part of the United States legal code. We can rely on it as we do all the other laws.

No need to do so-for every Marco Rubio or Susanna Martinez who are of hispanic ancestry like me, there are scores of others-Becerra comes to mind, because he is such an obnoxious loon-who wants us to believe that illegals are just like we are-not!
