    "Entering property you don't own is a rights violation."
    Yep, which is in no way analogous to entering a country by crossing it's border, which is NOT "entering property you don't own" and preventing people from crossing the border IS a rights violation.

    The classic liberals did not have any issue with immigrants. They're the ones that support the phrase on the statue of liberty.
    Immigration only became an issue when the union movements wanted to cut down on cheap foreign labor.
    Hence, "old left" is the source of the immigration issue.

    In response to term2 comment on California, the best thing that CA could do is to separate from the Union, establish themselves as a 3rd world country(which for all intents and purposes they pretty much are) and then apply for foreign aid! Then they wouldn't have to worry about all of our silly laws. I imagine that Slang Spanish would be their language.

    Isn't is 'un problema' because 'problema' is a masculine Spanish noun which takes 'un' while Spanish feminine nouns take 'una'

    Funny thing is, the majority wants other people to serve their needs...and they collectively invent lots of needs.

    Its time to be concerned about ourselves, and not worry about the country. Its going to go the way the majority wants, and that means full blown fascism and socialism. Hiding in plain sight is the watchword of the day.

    I think the federal government should be scaled back to have almost no power and control. Leave it to the states to lord over the citizens who reside there. AND, let California float free and not get subsidies from a federal source.

    Entering property you don't own is a rights violation. It's called trespassing. Even if such property is not privately owned, it is still "publicly" owned by the American people and administered on their behalf by the American government. It is not owned by the prospective immigrants, and they have no "right" to set foot in it without permission of the owners.

    Parasitical Humanoids come in all colors of the rainbow...[pun intended]

    Yes, I do too, but this understanding may only come long after I am dead...yet, I feel the drive to get it right and in a form inwhich, at least, future men might understand.

    Right! It's "un problema" in spite of all the English speakers who use the (mistaken) phrase "No problemo!" Spanish words ending in "ma" seem to be derived directly from Greek. Greeks and Greek culture occasionally appeared in Spain. The painter El Greco ("the Greek") is a notable example.

    Those old Greeks are all Dead White Men, to be ignored as useless. Aristotle, for example. California shows us the Future, where A is Not A!

    I wish the media's presentation was as fair as yours, OUC.
    I recall a previous occupant of the WH who wasn't lily white - not his policies, not his propaganda, not his skin, yet the media has always presented him as the perfect lord of all he surveys. Lying scum.

    "It's the fault of greedy white" [hu]men[oids]...not the "white" [conscious] [hu]men "who want to keep what they produce"...etc.

    I lost respect for the law many years ago ... around when Judge Narragansett vanished.

    I guess people in the future could create borders with private property, with no trespassing signs.

    Of course the real problem today is the Robbing Hoods.

    Like Hollywood has been filming Venezuela and telling the truth about the reason for the collapse and how it foretells the result for socialist Amerika.
    It's all the fault of greedy white men who want to keep what they produce to support their own families without government assistance. Greedy white men who want to have a free fair exchange of goods produced by free people without government meddling. Greedy white men who just want to be left alone to be productive and raise their families in peace.

    To Objectivists the only legitimate function of government is to protect rights. Only rights violations should be illegal.
    Since the act of immigration isn't a rights violation, it should be perfectly legal and the term "illegal immigration" doesn't even make any sense, let alone represent any kind of problem.
    The only problem here, is the political illiteracy of the conservative movement, making the old-left, anti-immigrant policies mainstream again.
    Objectivists should know better.

    You might be right about that...one of only a few I can see as an explanation for the de-evolution of mankind.

    I've had the same revelation except a bit longer ago than yesterday. I was extremely thankful to be born at the time I was and to have had the opportunity to make a good life at the peak of the greatest civilization the world has ever seen to date. And at the same time realized I will be dead just before it all crashes in on itself because too many of the generations coming after me are clueless as to why it was great or even how to keep it flourishing.

    A long time ago I read a story by Isaac Asimov where an alien race sent a ship to emit waves to psychologically mess up the human thinking process to crash their society and prevent them from getting off the planet. I don't remember the name of the story. It's working.
