Surely you want to respect and uphold this (constitutionally based) sentiment ... or, because this weeks shootings were by a demented white-boy you can't blame mexicans ... you're in emergency mode to re-vamp your *vitriol* ?

Desiring to clarify the Constitution doesn't mean you don't consider the Constitution to be the supreme law of the land. Those things aren't mutually exclusive. What does this have to do with the Tucson shooting?
As to the illegal alien problem, the problem is multi-faceted, but boils down to this:
There have always been illegals, and it never seemed like much of a problem. Why? Low volume. When you start handing out welfare bennies like they are candy, guess what? People show up. They did.
Now we have a high volume of uneducated folks with kids sponging off of the system. I live in Texas. Believe me, they know how to collect their benefits. They know how to enroll their kids in school IOW, they know how to start sponging off the US taxpayer, before their shoes even dry.
Supporting non citizens is just one reason of many that the US and the states, cities and school districts are broke.
Is it cold and callous to publicly call for an end to supporting these folks? Is it cold and callous to publicly call for evicting these folks? Maybe, but the lifeboat is already foundering. Plucking more folks out of the water is just going to hasten the sinking of the lifeboat.
We can't save everybody.
