There is no such thing as "immigration rights." You don't have the fucking RIGHT to come here. It's a privilege. https://t.co/ayZg3G27gt

Constitutional scholar does mention "immigration rights". Because, apparently, that's a thing.

Obama's "immigration rights" means his illegal executive #Amnesty. This too will backfire for the Democrats…
