Unlike the (technically speaking) “actual” Constitution, Emma Lazarus’s Zeroth Amendment (“Anybody from anywhere can immigrate anytime they feel like it; and you nativist natives had better keep your traps shut, if you know what’s good for you”) is NOT a living document. It is eternal, unchanging, omnipotent, and sacred.

Clearly, this finding, like everything else, proves that Trump’s immigration policy is un-American. “A literal tower of skulls beneath Mexico City” is WHO WE ARE.
Never forget the Zeroth Amendment: “Give me your tired, your poor, your piled-up skulls.”
On another note, in Mexico, the more things change, the more they stay the same. From Newsweek:
