This is why I use "Creator" for the existence of rights. If you believe that "nature" is your creator then you can claim "nature" as the source of your rights. I believe God is my Creator and He is the source of my rights. "Creator" is a neutral term that all people (should) be able to accept and agree on...

"A way to enter"?? You enter by walking in. This is the way it was at the founding and it's the way it should be today (and is for many people). If you read Yick Wo you will see that the "immigrant" filing the appeal was still a subject of the Emperor of China even though he had lived in San Fran for something like 10 years. Don't think he ever intended to become a "citizen" and certainly his rights were not subject to being one...
(P.S. I doubt that he asked for "permission" to move to San Fran...)

Rights are man made construct to further human life.
You could say rights come from a "creator" in the sense that rights should be congruent with human nature. Property rights create incentives to maximize overall well being and happiness. If property rights didn't further humanity, it wouldn't make sense to have them as rights.
You mean "imply."
Nevertheless. No. Such a power is not among those enumerated for the federal government.
ETA: Here is a great article discussing the clause to which you refer:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...t-immigration/
Same thing. And if it is true that the federal government does not have the right to exercise any given power, then that means that it is wrong for it to exercise that power.
You are correct, however, that it has no rights, since, no matter what power it ever exercises, it's always wrong.
No. The federal government has no right to require its permission for anyone to immigrate here. As far as the federal government is concerned, were it to act within the bounds of its constitutional powers, all immigration is legal.
"Invasion" does not refer to merely crossing a border without certain paperwork that didn't even exist when the Constitution was ratified.

No, rights are inherent to people, powers are granted. And Wapo as an authority? I chuckle knowingly.
One illegal crossing the border may just be a "visit", but crossing en masse is INVASION. The Constitution very plainly gives the fedgoob the power to curb that, and has from the start.
The Constitution also does not protect the rights of anyone not in the territories of the United States, nor should it. The implication otherwise is that we Americans are obliged to save the world. In fact, it would perforce imply that all humanity is American. It would also imply a world government.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.
Our words make us the ghosts that we are.
Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.
The constitution does not protect anyone's rights, unfortunately... I wish it did. Your rights are yours to protect and you can, if you wish, help to protect the rights of others. "People" have to protect rights, a paper document signed over 200 years ago cannot do anything as it's an inanimate object. While the words written on this document are genius, those words are disregarded by TPTB...

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
With one exception anything in the Constitution can be repealed, including the Bill of Rights. The only exception is that no State can be deprived of equal suffrage in the Senate without its consent (see Article V). In addition, there two other exceptions that have expired: no amendment made before 1808 could have affected the provisions in I.9.1 and I.9.4 that prohibited Congress from banning the slave trade before 1808 and that mandated that direct taxes be apportioned, respectively.
We have long had death and taxes as the two standards of inevitability. But there are those who believe that death is the preferable of the two. "At least," as one man said, "there's one advantage about death; it doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."
