Again, let them come, documented or not.
As long as they speak English and don't fly the Mexican flag above the American flag I am fine with it.

Too large a border with the current la migra/border patrol manpower available to do so currently. Manned checks at roads do not and have not worked for a long time. Los esses y cholos aren't coming over in car trunks anymore.

The checks on this power is the right of the people to modify the Constitution with amendments if they feel that the Supreme Court has gotten it wrong, the power of the President to nominate Justices, and the power of the Congress to approve the nomination.
Well I have a hard time seeing myself actually going to "war" with the government but I know that I definetly wouldn't give them any of my guns.
In fact the framers weren't concerned even about individual self-defense, but were taking care of the citizens against an oppressive government.

This effectively means you only get the right so far as you wish to fight for it: in the political arena, in argumentation, courts, battlefields, et cetera.
Yeah, it was some 'jackass' alright.

Right to self-defense, but the right to bear arms? So people had gun rights before there were guns?
If if was the framers of the Constitution wouldn't have had to include it. I support the 2nd Amendment and RKBA but it's more than foolish to think the right to own/carry a gun is a god given right.
Actually, it will be a "Soft" ton of bricks - laid upon us one-by-one so that the effect is to smother us - not to knock us back to sensibility. By the time this "incremental change" is complete, it will have become a "fait accompli", and the point to have stopped it will have long passed.
