As a staunch conservative I will not accept liberal/socialist rule.
I will fight it with violence if need be.
And conservatives don’t understand the definition of “socialism “ .
Giving illegals free healthcare.
Let’s pay this out . You don’t rather illegals not have access to healthcare? You’d have people just die at the hospital door?
Might as well offer insurance plans to everyone who can’t get them at work . Who cares about their immigration status .
You would have us pay for the health care for every poverty stricken person on the damn planet.
promote the general welfare not the general warfare and abolish our useless wars on crime, drugs, and terror.

IN ADDITION to Promoting General Welfare,
the Govt must also respect CIVIL LIBERTIES of individuals
and not deprive citizens of liberty, property or INCOME without DUE PROCESS OF LAWS.
In cases of CIVIL or CRIMINAL PENALTIES - if a PERSON has violated laws
and owes restitution YES the GOVT/LAWS can require and force payment.
However
danielpalos if citizens have NOT committed any crime, abuse or violation, there must be Democratic process to ensure CONSENT of TAXPAYERS
to prevent tyrannical abuse of Govt.

That's part of Constitutional laws the Govt is ALSO required to follow.
Not just promoting general welfare without any checks or balances.
There has to be
* compelling interest proven (ie which citizens CONSENT to, not Govt imposed)
* LEAST RESTRICTIVE MEANS
