    Except that those illegal immigrants are not US citizens. All your arguments fall flat on this simple point, the people in question are not federally protected.

      nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

      — 14th Amendment Section 1 US Constitution

      No person, not citizen, NO PERSON, may be denied equal protection of the laws within the jurisdiction of the United States.

      Your argument is moot.
