Are You A Federalist Or Not? CA CAN Issue Licenses To Illegals: Jefferson

January 5, 2015 5

Mandeville, LA – Are you a Federalist or not? The “Conservative” wind machine is in overdrive today over California’s plan to issue drivers licenses to “illegal immigrants”. As ill-advised and stupid as this may be, CA is totally within it’s rights to regulate “alien friends” and issue them any state ordination they see fit. Recall little Jimmy Madison’s stance on this very issue during the VA protest over The Alien and Sedition Acts. You can review this at my site, read on to see what The Oracle, Thomas Jefferson, said about this very issue in his famous “Kentucky Resolution [on Nullification]”

“If Congress wants to deal with this in a constitutionally consistent manner, what I think they ought to do is they ought to have the testicles to declare those that are here illegally as alien enemies. That might require then a declaration of war against Central American countries, but then the designation of alien enemies would apply and you could then deal with the problem.

As Jefferson wrote in his KY Resolves…

4. Resolved, That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” the act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the — day of July, 1798, intituled “An Act concerning aliens,” which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void, and of no force.

5. Resolved. That in addition to the general principle, as well as the express declaration, that powers not delegated are reserved, another and more special provision, inserted in the Constitution from abundant caution, has declared that “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 1808” that this commonwealth does admit the migration of alien friends, described as the subject of the said act concerning aliens: that a provision against prohibiting their migration, is a provision against all acts equivalent thereto, or it would be nugatory: that to remove them when migrated, is equivalent to a prohibition of their migration, and is, therefore, contrary to the said provision of the Constitution, and void.
