Quote by: Aquietguy1 No body said that immigrants can't come here. All were are asking is that they do it legally. The constitution extends only to Americans. If people want liberty and the pursuit of happiness they should either create a similar document in their own country or come here legally. The biggest obstacle to basic human rights is government. Everybody keep criticizing America but nobody is talking about these repressive governments that deny it's people the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness and force them to come here. |
As it says in the Declaration of Independence,
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
This also, and very obviously means that WE are not in a position to GRANT these freedoms or that they only exist in the United States. They must decide what level of freedom they want, and then go about making it happen where THEY live.
Not to use Chavez as an example, but regardless of how effective he is/isn't he DID mobilize that country's poor. The Mexicans can do the same.
