You can be stubborn as you wish, but that does not change the fact that no state may deprive any person of the privileges and immunities of the US. Nice try though.
Perhaps you missed the gist of my initial post. The Constitution enumerates those things that the federal government is allowed to do by us. The Tenth Amendment reserves everything else to the states and the People respectively. The Fourteenth Amendment makes not mention of immigration. The section in that amendment to which you referred states in the second sentence;
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
No mention of immigration. The Tenth Amendment is a tight restriction upon the powers and authority of the government by tying its hands to the Constitution. Unfortunately, it wasn't long after the Bill of Rights been accepted that it began to be ignored.
As a side note, don't call me stubborn. I showed you respect and I expect the same from you.
