Anybody have any good ideas? A certain letter that you sent to a politician that’s worded just right? Share it here.
Why do so many people fret over so - called "illegal immigration" when it is actually a symptom of a much deeper disease?
The American people have, of their own free will and volition, created the symptoms whereby they demand the government help save them from themselves. The more you demand the government do something, the more they will reduce your Rights and attack your Liberties until you have nothing left.
And, as they do that, you come closer to having the United States Supreme Court make the final decision as to how to best handle the situation. If you let them decide, you are not going to like what they have to say.
The best place to look for a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. You don't need the government to resolve this issue.
The problem with your argument is the United States has always had laws concerning Citizenship, it’s what defines a nation. Every country has some form of laws with interests in defending their own borders. Without a clear defined enforced border there is no national sovereignty.
There is no problem with my argument. You said it yourself. The United States has always had laws regarding citizenship. I've quoted the first immigration statute many times. Hell, let's do it again:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any Alien being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof on application to any common law Court of record in any one of the States wherein he shall have resided for the term of one year at least, and making proof to the satisfaction of such Court that he is a person of good character, and taking the oath or affirmation prescribed by law to support the Constitution of the United States, which Oath or Affirmation such Court shall administer, and the Clerk of such Court shall record such Application, and the proceedings thereon; and thereupon such person shall be considered as a Citizen of the United States. And the children of such person so naturalized, dwelling within the United States, being under the age of twenty one years at the time of such naturalization, shall also be considered as citizens of the United States. And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, that no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed."
United States Congress, “An act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization” (March 26, 1790)
naturalization laws 1790-1795
Here's the point:
Despite that a year into our Constitution, people came here from every non-white country that a boat could make it here from. Yet only whites could become citizens.
What would it take to get it through your head that one need NOT be a citizen in order to be in the United States and conducting legal activities?
