I was clearly not talking about either the rights that the nations support internally for their citizens, nor even what is actually the status quo.
I clearly stated that you liberals want the US to have fewer rights than other nations do, ie the right to control who and what enters their nation and becomes part of their community.
All you are doing now, is trying to confuse the issue, which was ******* clear as a bell,
to hide the fact that you argued yourself into the most idiotic position I have ever seen a man take.
Correll:
I want you to know that I'm the most conservative person on this site. But, over the last 25 years the whole idea of conservatism changed. The movement (for lack of a more descriptive adjective) changed; I didn't.
The immigration issue is one of the most glaring examples. Here we have a majority of the people in the United States saying we do not need a border wall; the states bordering the wall do not want it; both Houses of Congress rejected it. Adding insult to injury, when private funds were solicited with a GoFundMe page, it folded up due to the lack of donations toward the goal.
The Republicans are wasting their time and screwing us out of our Rights on the pretexts of making safe from those from south of the border. Meanwhile, most of the morons chanting their little anti-immigrant mantra are involved in the very activities they wail about on this discussion board (i.e. they hire undocumented foreigners.)
In order to add teeth and move us toward a Hispanic free America, the Republicans have pushed the creation of the Department of Homeland (IN) Security, passage of the National ID / REAL ID Act - E Verify, and the passage of the so - called "
Patriot Act." They have attacked the Fourth Amendment until it's not worth the paper it's printed on and done away with the concept of innocent until proven guilty in a court of law by a jury of one's peers (that is why they want to chant "illegals" instead of the more accurate undocumented foreigner.) The idiocy of the right has allowed tyrants to expand the ability to enforce the Constitution Free Zone; it has promoted warrant less searches; it has increased the used of information databases so that you can't take a dump without Uncle Scam "documenting" it.
Trillions of dollars later and the right being the most likely victim of their own idiotic legislation they still cannot tell you the difference between an
unalienable Right and the benefits and the privilege of citizenship. You might have a RINO bully in the White House who is thinking he's stacking the deck in the United States Supreme Court, but one day the bill is going to come due for the unethical and dishonest tactics along with the unconstitutional measures the right is taking in vain for the illusion of a "win."
In the end, you cannot lower your standards - be they legal, political or moral, and think you can win against the Democrats when you're setting the bar below what you accuse them of.
I was taking you seriously until you dropped that bs, "hispanic free America".
1. National Sovereignty is a serious issue, not one to be decided by polls. If so many people support an open border, than change the laws to reflect that. Until then, the law calls for controlling the border.
2. No reasonable person would dismiss those who want border security as "idiots". I can't take you seriously if you pretend that there is not legitimacy when there obviously is.
3. I note that you did not even mention any of the many legitimate issues that are related to illegal immigration. You insulted pro-border people several times, but never addressed any of the ACTUAL reasons that people support the wall. That does not help your credibility.
Correll:
You cannot fool all the people all the time. The pretexts for all the anti-immigrant hysteria over the past few years has run the gamut. Each time those who obsess over the border think they've found their magic elixir - the silver bullet that justifies their absolute stupidity, racism, or whatever in the Hell motivates them to keep beating a dead horse.
All of that boiled down you to making empty assertions and playing the Race Card. Your attempt to appear reasonable is rendered less credible every time you do that.
The people who obsess over a wall have tried the "they're illegal" mantra; they falsely accused undocumented foreigners of not paying taxes; accused them of "stealing jobs" (which was proven to be a textbook socialist accusation); the right has accused the Hispanics of destroying our culture (then saying it's all good provided they do it all "legally.") and now this totally bogus argument that they a threat to national security.
1. If they are here illegally, and either working under the table or under a fake id, they are not paying their full share of taxes.
2. They are stealing jobs and depressing wages. Saying "socialism" is not an argument.
3. The cultural issue is valid.
4. The invasion of tens of millions of unvetted people, is obvious a national security threat.
In 1986, the civilians who were manning the border were accusing the Soviets of befriending Mexico and testing us by sending helicopters over the border. One place they made the accusation was Brownsville, Texas. Supposedly, the Mexican government was training hordes of guerrilla fighters to invade the U.S. at the most opportune moment. I believed all that B.S. back then and was as committed to my stupidity as you are to yours. I researched it, wrote about it, and ghost wrote for prominent expositors of that ideology. I had even manned the border in 1977!
Never heard that one. That unfounded accusations were made long ago by other people, does not undermine the legitimacy of my arguments.
Indeed, it is pretty special of you to argue that it does.
The reality is that in 1953, the United States announced plans to send all the undocumented Hispanics back across the border. And so they started "Operation *******." In less than five years our unemployment rate doubled!!!! Americans did not understand the economics of their own country and way beyond half a century of arguing about it, you STILL don't get it.
Standard lib tactic. When their point is very weak, they don't actually SAY it, they just IMPLY it, so that the person they are debating has to first MAKE their point for them, and then challenge it.
Giving the liberal in question, the clever, albeit, dishonest out of claiming the other person misrepresented their argument.
You want to make a point about what happened in 1953, make it clearly.
If those who obsess over a wall are correct, then the absence of a wall means we never were a sovereign country....
That is silliness.
So, how in the Hell did we build the greatest nation in recorded history? OR did historians lie about our achievements?
If we needed a wall in order to be a sovereign nation, then the Right of conquest means we never became a nation and the Hispanics have as much a right to be here as you do since your laws would be ultra vires - null and void. It is an idiotic argument. Only two days ago a news story had this:
Meaningless supporting arguments for an argument, that hopes to grow into a straw man someday.
"
A bipartisan group of 58 former senior national security officials issued a statement Monday saying that “there is no factual basis” for President Trump’s proclamation of a national emergency to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border."
Former senior national security officials issue declaration on national emergency
When you have governors of border states, both Houses of Congress in bipartisan language, a majority of the American people, and a bipartisan group of national security officials telling you that you're wrong, maybe you should apprise yourself of the facts.
Trump won the election with his primary message of Building the Wall.
This is a democratic republic. Winning the election trumps all the polling data and any authorities you want to cite.
That this is even being discussed instead of just DONE, is a scandal in of itself.
The one thing that puts me on the opposite side of the fence is the right's inability to use their damn brains.
Meaningless partisan swill.
All over the United States the state governments are cracking down on your Second Amendment Rights. The feds are following suit. Donald Trump is anti - gun having supported an "assault weapons ban," waiting periods to purchase firearms, the bump stock ban, and now Red Flag Laws. A lot of those gun toting idiots from the right haven't the sense God gave a goat.
Trump nominated William Barr as his Attorney General. That POS is anti - gun and is in favor of
ASSET FORFEITURE LAWS. So, while all of this gun stuff is being enacted, the list of who's next grows longer and longer. So, you think you won't give up your guns? What a bunch of non-thinking dolts! When Uncle Scam nails you on firearm violations, they will take your weapons, seize the balance of your assets and turn them into wall money.
"
Under the powers delegated by such statutes, the President may seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute martial law, seize and control all transportation and communication, regulate the operation of private enterprise, restrict travel, and, in a variety of ways, control the lives of United States citizens," says a 2007 CRS report."
Meaningless attempt at deflection.
President Trump could declare a national emergency. But would that get him funds for a wall?
"The Presidential Proclamation on Declaring a National Emergency takes around $3.6 billion in funds earmarked for military construction—as well as $600 million in asset forfeiture funds and around $2.5 billion drawn from Department of Defense funds aimed at drug interdiction—and adds it to the $1.375 billion Congress had included in the actual spending bill to build a wall along the US southern border wall almost all experts agree won't actually work."
Sounds like a good start.

Building a Wall to protect the nation from outside forces, is perhaps the most legitimate possible use of seizure powers.
