All men are created equal and have certain UNalienable rights- among these are, the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness- there are no caveats, no borders, no walls, no prejudice, etc.
Great.
I will tell to a group of "cuates" to jump your fence and get into your property and set over there. They can build their tent and use your land as theirs. You won't have any objection because you preach their UNaliebale rights to life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
If I heard any complaint from you because those Mexicans living inside your property, then I will be the first one to kick your dumb ass.
You obviously do not understand the equation. Nobody is jumping anybody's fence to use property as if it belong to the fence jumper. The concept of
unalienable Rights is enshrined in the words of the Declaration of Independence (the holiday we celebrated just yesterday):
"
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."
OBVIOUSLY, this could not apply to only citizens of the United States. Such a country did not exist. Furthermore, after the Constitution was ratified, people came from every corner of the world to engage in free enterprise here. Only whites could be become citizens and enjoy certain privileges. AND it would not be until all the founders and framers were dead and buried before the United States Supreme Court
illegally granted "
plenary powers" to Congress on this issue. You see, our Constitution does not give the United States Supreme Court any
authority to bestow upon any other branch of government any powers. It's a state's rights issue. People engage in free enterprise. Any law, at any level (city, county, state, or federal) that jeopardizes that Right of Liberty is null and void IF you support the original meaning of the Constitution.
Point is that those words "
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..." were mentioned for US citizens inside the US land.
This is to say, TODAY under the new laws of immigration, in order for a foreign to enjoy the same phrase, he must first be invited (obtain visa) to reside in the US.
Such phrase won't apply to invaders.
You see, at the beginning , when this country was in need of hand work to produce in this land, people from other places were welcomed.
But, laws change in accord to necessity, and there was a moment when new regulations about who can come and who can't was to be established. Something similar to the biblical narration where at the beginning brothers were to have their sisters and half sisters are their wives. But, later, when population was greater in number and diverse, a new regulation took place and marriages between brothers and sisters weren't allowed anymore.
You can't compare the immigration system of two centuries ago with today's. Both are different and rule in accord to the needs of the country.
It is very sad with what is going on in many countries, but also there is an abuse of the immigration system vacuum where people from other countries enter to the US breaking the law. You see, the US accepts thousands of people every year. These people fill up all the requirements asked in order to obtain their visa. They are welcomed by the US government and the law of immigration works perfectly.
However, the law breakers come illegally and later they demand to change their status even "before" the ones who are doing the same process but legally from their countries.
Corrupt attorneys manipulate the system in order to make profit, and they are the ones who also promote the illegal immigration.
To start, I would freeze all immigration transaction from illegal immigrants who came without visa and the ones who came with visa of tourist or student and their visas are not valid anymore and they want to obtain their residence anyway.
A complete freeze to all those cases, and make the immigration department to concentrate as priority with all the cases which are pending from people who are applying for visas legally from their countries.
Any illegal immigrant who is caught to be deported without the waste of a court case. Making the system as simple as it can be, will make it more effective to accelerate the process for the ones applying for visa from their countries.
Doing it this way, you won't read anymore those messages from Mexicans returning to their land because they have no papers. They can try to come again, but with their visa this time, and enjoy those rights you admire so much as I do.
