Some nations in South and Central America Banana Republics copied the US Constitution pretty much word for word. And then nobody paid attention to it. Presidents and different Congresses ignored it. The courts of those nations did not enforce it. But it was all on paper as "the law". Just a big farce.
Obviously, instead of them becoming more like us, the US has become a lot more like them.
Or, as the Christian tv commercials during the Super Bowl this year pointed out, the Lord Jesus and his parents were refugees seeking asylum in Egypt. Amen.
