    The question is:


    Can governors block people from their state?

    If yes, on what authority?
    The US Constitution allows states to block foreigners from their state. States have sole authority over immigrants. We aren't talking about citizens, we're talking about immigrants allowed into the US illegally by the federal government which makes them illegal aliens and oh yes, states have authority over such under the US Constitution.

    Legally, the states have limited power to control the flow of foreigners into their states; that authority is reserved largely to the federal government under the Constitution.

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    No, it isn't reserved at all to the federal government under the Constitution. The only power the federal government has under the Constitution concerning immigration is to prevent the flow not generate it.

    Do you know who you're quoting?

    http://legal-dictionary.thefreedicti...Naturalization
    This is the Constitutional power to establish a uniform code of naturalization, not immigration. Naturalization is how immigrants admitted by the states may become US citizens and has nothing whatsoever to do with the power to admit immigrants into the United States. The federal government does not have and never has had the power or authority to admit immigrants into the United States, only the power and authority to prevent it, not permit it.

    And that means no President has the authority, no Executive Branch Agency or Department has that authority, no Congress has that authority, and no federal court has that authority. The only authority of those 3 branches of the federal government under the US Constitution is to prevent immigration which means to deport aliens, to secure our borders, to deny jobs and federal benefits, to assist states in protecting themselves against foreign invasions and every other step necessary to stop immigration into the United States.

    The federal government has committed grotesque unconstitutional sins against the United States and US citizens by its illegal immigration acts, issuing tens of millions of illegal green cards, work visas and work permits to immigrants, pandering to and granting amnesty to illegal aliens who didn't even bother with obtaining an illegal green card or other illegal federal permit to be here, ignoring states and citizens pleas to stop the invasions, to prevent the flow, deporting those who violated our laws and Constitution and granting birthright citizenship to children of aliens.

    Any and every American who works for Congress, our federal court system and/or the executive branch of the federal government who has in any way, shape or form participated in the admission of immigrants into the United States or provided immigrants it admitted support of any kind while here has broken the law because they have violated the US Constitution that never empowered the US government with any power or authority to admit even 1 immigrant into the United States, not 1. The only power and authority of the federal government with regards to immigration under the US Constitution is to prevent it or tax it, after the year 1808, under Article 1, Section 9.

    And that's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God. You can read that Constitution frontwards, backwards, sitting down, standing on your head, front to back, back to front, 10 times, 20 times, 100 times .... and it will still to this day say the same thing as it did on this subject when it was ratified in 1789.

    Posting a link without quoting from the link is absurd.


    And to your assertion, what wording in our Constitution are you referring to? Where in our Constitution have the States delegated that power which they exercised prior to the adoption of our existing Constitution? Please provide the wording.

    Immigration vs naturalization and the Tenth Amendment

    Read the 10th Amendment. Each State prior to the adoption of our existing Constitution were in full charge over immigration and naturalization. By the adoption of our existing Constitution they delegated the power over naturalization to the federal government while retaining the power over immigration.

    Why is this so difficult for you to understand? A power not delegated is a power retained!

    The only power I see in the Constitution relating to this issue [immigration] is that which is found under Article 1, Section 9, and allows a tax or duty to be imposed on the importation of foreigners, but leaves the State free to admit whom they please.

    "The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person."


    Why is it so difficult for you to understand "naturalization" and "immigration" involve two distinct powers: the former being delegated to Congress while the latter has been retained by the States?

    Exactly. The confusion people express over the terms naturalization and immigration is deliberate, it's how they merged the two separate powers and functions into one in an attempt to establish a new power the federal government was never granted by the US Constitution. It's deliberate foolishness, recklessness and extreme blatant abuse of power.

    It appears John Doe2 has a problem answering the question "Under what Constitutional wording has the president been granted a power to flood a state with "refugees"?

    The fact is, Congress cannot assume powers not granted nor delegate powers to the President not authorized by our Constitution. To assume otherwise is to assume ”the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves.”___ quoting Hamilton in Federalist No 78.
