Homeland Security, NOT!

[Kathy63]

I would suggest that the controversy could be resolved, as most can, by a return to the Constitution. In this case, the Preamble

We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,
provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare,
and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity
do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


I see the words, Secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity....

I don't see the world there, or people here illegally, or terrorists. I see "our posterity". That means Americans. The liberty of Americans belongs ONLY to Americans. It is ours and we should not share. Just like the liberty of Greeks belongs to Greeks and no one else. The liberty of Italians is not given to the Swedes.

If we could institute that instead of civil rights, most of these problems would disappear. You want civil rights, be an American. Not a nigerian, or a yemeni, or an iranian, or a mexican. You want the civil rights of a nigerian, yemeni, iranian and mexican, go there. That's where your civil rights are. Not here.

I have long since divested myself of the useless trappings of universal civil rights.
