The topic of the thread is that some guy wrote an article about the demise of the nation - state. In short, there will be no borders in the future.
That brings out the people who take the extreme position that they support the concept of borders to the point that they will forfeit every constitutional Liberty our forefathers fought, bled and died in order to secure for we, the people.
So, what do you think this is all about?
So, the thread is not about a wall, but you want it to be. How would any such wall “forfeit every Constitutional liberty “?
This isn't our first dance on this subject. So, why discuss it again? Let's look at SOME of the obvious:
1) The Constitution Free Zone was created to aid in border enforcement:
2) Everyone has to bear in mind that the current anti-immigrant effort began over the Rights of private property owners. Americans. The question was, does an American property owner have a Right to protect their property?
Well, the border patrol types got their day in court, the ruling did
NOT favor Americans and so the handpicked socialists who control the anti-immigrant effort became wannabe border patrol types. Meanwhile, a federal court decided that Americans stopping foreigners from trespassing over private property are violating the foreigners "
civil rights." The anti-immigrant lobby was too stubborn,stupid and then lazy to appeal the court decision and move forward. And so private property Rights were set back at least another fifty years
3) It was the anti-immigrant lobby that wanted the National ID / REAL ID Act that forces people to carry around National ID, use the SSN as identification - both of which impacted the 4th and 16th Amendments.
BTW, the 16th Amendment was on its way out until the right saved that plank straight out of the Communist Manifesto by introducing a National ID system that relies on the SSN as a "
unique identifier." That alone gave the government the pretext it needed to keep the SSN and end the efforts that tax patriots were using to defeat the 16th Amendment ... and they were doing so good that my own Congressman introduced legislation to repeal the 16th Amendment and get rid of the IRS.
Oh, we've been down this road many times, but we do this dance now and again. That's only my top 3 of twenty ways the effort to militarize the border / put up a wall / infringe on property Rights versus leaving the border alone and open need a full discussion.
