The primary role of the SC is to protect the rights of the citizens, which includes ruling against any laws that violate those rights.
The SC is also responsible for maintaining the boundaries of each branch as dictated by the Constitution.
It is also required to rule on specific laws as they are written and not based on perceived intent.
Every part of the Constitution is vital for maintaining law and order. Ignoring any part of it no different than ignoring all of it and is totally unacceptable.
Immigration is strictly a problem of Congress as it is not mentioned in the Constitution.
Constitutionally, just because someone is born here by non-citizens does not automatically make them a citizen as they are subjects of the country where the parents came from.

1. Where in the constitution does it day this?
"The SC is also responsible for maintaining the boundaries of each branch as dictated by the Constitution."
2. This must be your interpretation.
"It is also required to rule on specific laws as they are written and not based on perceived intent."
3. As I said, the Supreme Court is an appellate court except where Article 3. Sec. 2. ( see below) says it has original jurisdiction.
"In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases? before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."
4. This is incorrect: "Immigration is strictly a problem of Congress as it is not mentioned in the Constitution."
Since immigration is not mention in the constitution it is up to to individual states according to the 10th amendment, which reads as follows: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
This would be clumsy and unworkable.....so we just ignore it, contrary to what you said...... "Ignoring any part of it no different than ignoring all of it and is totally unacceptable."
The constitution does mention naturalization but does not mention immigration. Article 1. Sec. 8 says congress shall, "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, ".
5. Lastly. I have no idea where you got this idea........"Constitutionally, just because someone is born here by non-citizens does not automatically make them a citizen as they are subjects of the country where the parents came from.[/quote" . Anyone born in the US is a US citizen. The14th amendment says:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. This would be clumsy and unworkable.....so we just ignore it, contrary to what you said...... "Ignoring any part of it no different than ignoring all of it and is totally unacceptable."
Pay particular attention to the last sentence!!!!!
