Everything in the passage supports it. It talks about the migration of slaves and the importation of slaves, and the fact that the federal government can't abolish slavery before 1808 but may charge a tax or duty for them.

No, it doesn't mention slaves. Slavery can be inferred, but only in relation to the importation and duties, not in relation to migration. "Migration" as the forcible movement of slaves between states is a construct you brought in, not one that is in the passage, especially to the exclusion of all other types of migration.

Ugggggggggg... No we wouldn't, he told me earlier in this thread as he was in the Military for four years, got out and now makes more money than most general officers. So I say since he will be involved in smuggling more illegal aliens into the country we just get the feds to go seize all his assets, money, house, cars, whatever. Then we could use it to pay his public defender.

Migration is not IMmigration. Slaves are migrated. Free people are immigrated.

Migration is not immigration, but immigration is migration. Slaves are migrated, free people migrate. The passage gives no preference to either construction.

Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1 refers ONLY to slaves. It discusses the migration or importation of slaves and the fact that the federal government may not prohibit slavery from the states that want to allow slaves to be imported or migrated into those states. It can not be construed to have any relation or connection to immigration or movement of free people by any stretch of the rational mind.

And free people, when immigrating (or emmigrating, or just moving around within a country), migrate.

What part of the definition of migration excludes free people?
For that matter what part of the definition of immigration excludes enforced immigration? Which dicktionary do you use? I'd be interested to seek that one out for my collection.

Illegals aliens just crawl, swim, walk, or enter this country illegally through some other means. They are birds who never fly back to the south, but they send their money south of the border!

If they are sending it back to Mexico, that is a good thing. It means Mexican people will be able to afford to buy more American made products.
