not dumbed down enough for the right wing? sovereignty is ensured by lawful participation in our markets and for foreign nationals, that should require a federal id.
Which would be required to vote? Unless you're going to start demanding peoples' papers in the street, how is upgrading Ellis Island going to prevent people from walking across the southern border? You haven't addressed that.
There is no provision for excuses in the federal doctrine. Our welfare clause is General and we have a Commerce Clause. With Ellis Island open for business, anyone can come in as a tourist. A federal id should be required for foreign nationals in the US. Tourists don't need to vote.
Asylum seekers could also be processed more efficiently at the facility.
An uniform rule of naturalization should require some time in the US from foreign nationals before they can apply for citizenship and the franchise.
You're just full of excuses, aren't you? That said zero about the border. Keep trying until you run out of excuses.
Ellis Island would be open and they could go over there. Why risk being caught without a federal id. when they could get one at Ellis Island. Any infractions could result in more time before being able to apply for citizenship and the franchise.
"They could go over there". Let's think about that for just a moment. You're a poor Central American and you want to get to the US, or you're a member of a terrorist cell being trained as a suicide bomber in Mexico.
To get into the US, are you going to:
A. Walk across the southern border, avoiding the authories altogether?
B. Take a boat to Ellis Island?
C. Take a plane to New York and Ellis Island?
You haven't addressed the border, again.
