Again , why not. People have done much worse than sneak across our border.. and became President for forks sake. IM not saying automatic. And once they are on the legal roles, they obviously need to play nice. But Im not one to be so uptight as to say, you snuck into the country (or tried to in a few million cases), as such if i cant kick you out, I never want you to actually belong.

The only real reason to be that petty is if you think they will change the dynamic of the country drastically by them having the ability to vote or run for office.
Can’t answer that question. It’s not my proposal.

Everyone is fooled that the Government will ever reduce our tax burden. The reality is, even if they made these entities private, they would find other ways to spend that tax money and thus not reduce our tax burdens.
I unfortunately agree.

If home country violence is not a solid enough reason to grant someone Asylum, then Ellis Island should be nuked.

And yes I know you hate the New Colossus and the plack it stands on. Inviting the worlds downtrodden ito America.. the nerve of that French bitch.
Yeah, well at least the worlds downtrodden used to come here to assimilate and become American, recognizing American values were superior.

Really dude?? Cause I had friends growing up whose parents came here during that time who NEVER bothered to learn english. Still considered Italy the home land.

Now in most ( all cases actually) there kids born here assimilated just fine, which is generally what happens.

Your friends parents suck. I'd say you can tell them I said so, but the lazy Italian cvnts never learned English and were apparently too stupid to ever pick it up.

Actually according to the UN convention (of which we are a charter member and had a hand in writing its laws) these people do in fact have a RIGHT to request asylum.

So unless you are a fan of pulling out of the UN and Nato, again the y are doing it the legal way. Just not the way you would like.
last time i checked the US is a soveriegn nation and requesting asylum and having it being granted is a huge diffference you dont have any right to have it approved

as for pulling out of the Un and nato i say show me the way . dont need either

You are right, no guarantee it will be granted. But according to the law of the land, people do in fact have a right to request it as much as that seems to bother some Americans.

And you are right we dont NEED the UN or Nato... but countries that think they can go it alone usually fail, or get visions of world conquest.

Is that what we are hoping for??

No. That's always what happens. Unless you are Amish.

There used to be this idea in journalism that the bigger the charge, the more evidence was needed.


Now you’re allowed to claim the president committed a crime based on two anonymous sources


And decide a group of teenagers deserve to be removed from society over an edited video

In the beginning maybe. BUt considering they would still be government contractors, I think for things like TSA, Air Trafic control they would become more expensive.

As for the museums ( and schools would be next), you really want these things to become a situation where if you cant afford it you shouldnt be afforded it as most of these were setup as public domain.

Nothing the government runs is cheaper than the civilian market.

Are you sure because most museums worth a damn have a cost.

Nobody is fooled...the problem is attitudes that are accepting of it.

Nothing the government farms out to private companies ends up saving money without decreasing quality.

I take it yo have never visited the Smithsonian, which aside from some add ons is FREE to all visitors. Same for the National Zoo

So you really think, if they made Parks, museums and Schools privately run pay based, they would somehow take out less taxes?? You can not be that gullible.

Sorry but the law states violence isn’t enough...it has to be persecution. This isn’t the twenties, thirties, flurries, fifties...we don’t need people.

When Lady Liberty was created we did take everybody because we needed people.
