Jefferson's argument was that the powers are unconstitutional and should therefore remain with the states. Maybe he's a hypocrite because the alien enemies act of 1798 remained under his administration, or maybe he wasn't able to get it repealed. I don't know. Either way it is a power not a enumerated in the Constitution.if they invaded illegally they are not "alien friends"; they are alien invaders.
