Natural law, familial rights, biological realities--all code words signaling ignorance and excuses. I don't understand how a man can call themselves a man if they have a fear of empowered women. Come to think about it, fear is the driving force behind almost all the positions of the right. Fear of people of color, fear of foreigners, fear of poor people, fear of vaccines, fear of the government. . . . And fear is nothing more than a sign of weakness and insecurity. No wonder you guys want to subjugate women, you sure as hell are not going to attract them with weakness and insecurity.
You talk as one without the slightest clue about what natural law is, and the emboldened are all lies.
Empowered woman? Feminazis?! LOL!
Only fools don't fear the dangers of government.
Special treatment:
In fact, the only time the right is willing to accept government intervention is when they are afraid of something. --Winston
You are delusional. The people don't determine the terms of citizenship. At best, they elect people that set some guidelines. But in the end it is civil servants and governmental entities that determine who gets in and who does not. Just today, Biden increased the number of foreign refugees allowed in. Did you have a say in that? No, no you did not. Do you vote on who gets a tourist Visa? How about any Visa? Where is this place that I can go to that will help me determine the "terms of citizenship"?
Qualify this meaningless drivel.
No problem. Immigration. The right waxes eloquently about the inability of government to do anything. Nope, the government is inept at almost everything they attempt to do. The "free market" is the vehicle of choice. Well, except for immigration. The fear of those people coming across the border, and of course it is the southern border that drives the fear, has driven the right into the arms of the government. Build us a wall the right says. Go ahead government, pick and choose your citizens. The antithesis of how this nation was founded. In fact, the founders would be absolutely horrified. It is that fear that initiates the cognitive dissonance of the right's position on immigration. Why can't the "free market" control that immigration. And in a sense, it already does far more than any government action. But fear, an illogical and unfounded fear, consumes the right to such a degree that they are willing to turn over control of who is actually a citizen of this nation, who can get in and who cannot, to the government. Comical if it weren't so serious.
The issue goes to the integrity of the people's national sovereignty. Just as any individual has the inherent right of free-association, so too does the body politic of any given country. Walk into my house without my consent and see what you get when you mindlessly scream free market! I'll beat your brains out or shoot you dead.
Turning it over to the government?! What are you talking about? Ours is a constitutional republic. The people, the citizens, not the government, ultimately determine the terms of citizenship, and when the government fails to enforce the people's will regarding those terms, it usurps their prerogative.
If it's not the citizens of the body politic who determine the terms of citizenship of any given country, then quite obviously it's an unchecked, renegade government doing so.
It's not the other way around, you braying jackass!

You're delusional per your wont to incessantly confound matters. Collectively, constitution law, case law and statutory law determine the terms of citizenship. Constitutional and case law prescribe certain, fundamental requirements to citizenship, and prevailing statutory law (immigration law enacted by the people's representatives) prescribes additional terms regarding the acquisition of citizenship and residency. Visas are issued in accordance with that law. In theory, bureaucrats, lead by the State Department, enforce the law of the people.
I wasn't alive when the Refugee Act of 1980, which permits the President to set an annual cap on refugees, was passed. So, no, I didn't have a say in that.
