No that's completely insane. If that were actually what the constitution meant than the federal government needs to be dissolved because it's completely useless.
Obviously we do not need to litigate undocumented immigrants before deporting them.
Sure ask for ID. But a lot less could go wrong than just letting anyone into the country en mass with no practical way to remove them. You effectively don't have a country at all under that regime.
Let's just turn to our national ID system...oh wait...

Are you suggesting the only two options are extraordinary rendition to concentration camps in El Salvador with no recourse or instant squatters rights for all foreigners?

Let me offer an existence proof: gestures all around to where we're currently standing
The time to be careful was 10-20 years ago. Now it's just getting solved.
We do have birth certificates and in most states it is actually very hard to get state ID without at least residency so yes asking for ID is usually enough.

why not just shoot them? seems less cruel than deporting them to an active war zone in Libya or South Sudan, or incarcerating them for life in CECOT where they'll be raped and tortured before being murdered.
