[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 4238475, member: 745"] "We the People of the United States" in the Preamble to the Constitution does not say the people "in" the United States. One must be a citizen - a person [B][I]of[/I][/B] the United States - to have these rights and privileges secured and to take part in our governance. The Preamble goes on to state the purpose of the Constitution is to "... establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty [B][I]to ourselves [/I][/B]and our Posterity ...", with no mention of non-citizens, foreign governments, or any others whatsoever. "To ourselves" is quite obviously succinct. ANYTHING beyond "to ourselves" is unconstitutional. We fought for and won the protection of our God given rights and blessings delineated in the Constitution - for ourselves. While all people have inalienable God given rights, those people need to fight for and secure those rights for themselves in their own country. Beyond that, they can enjoy our protections here in the United States only if and when they apply for admission and citizenship and are allowed as provided for in our Constitution. The Preamble says it all. It is the reason for the rest of the Constitution to exist. Woody [/QUOTE]
