Don't Marginalize the Constitution

Don't marginalize the Constitution.
Don't say it doesn't apply.
Don't say the immigrant is outside its bounds—
Please, don't even try.

Don't limit the Constitution.
Don't suggest it's out of its lane.
Don't take that venerable document
And throw it off the train.

The immigrant, too, is protected
By the Constitution of our land.
The words "people" and "person" are used,
Not "citizen"—understand?

Go ahead and try to change it.
Try to diminish that document, if you will.
But the Constitution remains the law,
Even though you think it's ill.
