Who else didn't they think should have the right to vote in 1776, and was that the right call in your opinion?

As I said above, a law you have to tie yourself in knots to justify might be a bad law.

What are you saying, the US Constitution is bogus because people were racist in 1776? It's undergone amendments and clarifications by the Judicial branch. It's been consistently obvious that foreigners don't have the same rights as citizens here, and tourism or immigration law wouldn't really work otherwise.

You didn't answer my question, but here's what I'm saying:

> If you have to work your way round to "they are not people" for the law to be consistent, consider that it might be a bad law.

I disagree that the law (which has been changed, amended and clarified) has been 'consistently obvious', and I still maintain that the conclusion of 'immigrants aren't people' invalidates the law.

		The courts didn't come to the conclusion that immigrants aren't people. Probably the opposite in fact.
