    Good program yesterday, Rick, on immigration. You hit on many of the considerations that are often overlooked in our yearning to have open arms and be compassionate. But when the quality of life nationwide is compromised good planning, discipline, and continuity are definitely needed to make immigration both fair and healthy.

    I don't use humans except in one sense to contrast with humanoids. Human of course is sexist. You can't say people because 'some' object and you can't say person because it's sexist.

    Therefore I switched to Terra until some decides the ending in the Spanish Dictionary denotes feminine gender.

    Gaiaan? No. Same complaint.

    How about instead of deciding what label to use don't call anyone anything. not even something or nothing. That oughta keep everyone happy.

    Loco! Que Patina in su Coco!

    good to go two points. and now it's my turn to point you at new posts. There are two. The second one is the corrected and accurate answer to un or in and the use of each. The liberals still don't win on that score so all is safe.

    Thank you for the correction on inalienable.
    You are correct about the semantics and definitions. In my prior statement, what I meant was that nations have values that are supposed to the embodiments of the thought/values of their individuals. While my country may just be dirt, it is MY dirt. I have earned it, and I will defend it.

    thanks for the compliment. As for doing that project i was forced to really read the Citizens Handbook, do the research and match up the sections that are cherry picked and taken out of context and not always unintentionally enter a conversation with a false premise.

    One thing is there is a living mechanism in the document. It's called procedures for amendment. It's not called 'ignore it.'

    Semantics and definitions. A country is just dirt. Dirt cannot think nor reason. What makes it a nation is people. That's why in the military we take our oath of office to their thoughts as embodied, as you said, in the Constitution from their thoughts and values. We do not take an oath of allegiance to the country which to complete the circular argument why many of do not care for the 'thanks for serving your country' phrase. Correct but words have meanings no matter how well the intent. Using inalienable instead of unalienable is an example. Someone out there will use it against you sooner or later.

    By saying serve your country instead of constitution or even citizens it leads the way to misuse. In this day and age I don't serve a country with a government that dumped the constitution for the patriot act. That would be breaking my oath of office.

    But thanks for thanking me for serving the Constitution and the people. I knew what you meant. At least I hope you knew what you meant.

    Yes, it is, and it is broken on purpose: the Right wants cheap labor and the Left wants both votes and the further implementation of their Cloward-Piven strategy.

    Neither looks at these people as human beings, but rather as means to their political ends.

    Smallpox was a favorite of Conquistadores and the US Government and was used in Canada as well.
    The use of it as a biological weapon excluding unintentional use by migration
    is at least 2500 years old and not uncommon. Many sources here is the Baylor University link.

    There is no argument it's a done deal Eudaimonia wins

    Just not in my dime. So until that changes and ceases to be the reasin for the stampede here then there is no justifiable reason to open the borders.

    So, is your argument that there has not been many examples of migrations of people who brought with them pathogens to which they themselves were immune and to which the people with whom they came in contact with were not?

    Because, I'd like to hear that argument.

    Of course you still haven't answered my question Kaila.

    Would you agree to any constitution that limited immigration were you a founder?

    No, that was from me, I was in the wrong account.

    The post was me agreeing with jbrenner, extending his example of the Constitution to include just laws and respect for private property.
