Rights

[Spyike]

Why would they suddenly appear at my doorstep? Wouldn't they disperse to where they're in comfortably small and safe communities? We wouldn't have trouble getting food; a tiny fertile portion of the United States could sustain the people who live here with surplus and we wouldn't have to worry about giving almost half of our income to the government, so we'd be free to spend it on other things.

And as for jobs being given to immigrants, there's nothing innately different about these people except that they have been forced to live under an oppressive government -- a government five years in America's future. And there wouldn't be a shortage of jobs, because businesses with a good model would thrive without such crippling taxation.

Tyro.. You're all over it. You should run for a position in Government.

 

Do we have the rights to set borders and try to control who crosses them?
No. No one owns it.

Do we have the right to Deport those who do make it across our borders?

If their initial intentions are to stir up violence, then yes.
Is it right for us to try to control immigration and peoples free will to live a better life?
No.

I'll give you a few recognizable examples of private enterprises that run better than any governmental business.
Communications: AT&T, basically any cell phone company
Electricity: provided by a private industry in my neighborhood
Justice: Judge Judy

I don't see what the government has to do with this. Volunteer fire departments in small towns are far more effective than government fire departments. The best hospitals are private.

Communications: Yes but there are only a handfull of privately owned satellites, the vast majority are government owned. This was probably a terrible example for me to use as communications are mostly privatised. It does lead to a good point though. If we had no government where would we get the money to sink into researching and developing new technologies?

Electricity: It may be, but it would come from a government owned power station, and be transmitted over government owned transmission lines.

Justice: Judge Judy is an official, and hence government judge.

Emergency services: Those volunteer fire departments are using government equipment, if your thinking that they could buy their own, there are many towns out there that are too poor to buy such equipment. Private hospitals may be 'better', but they are far more expensive, if a society were to have privatised hospitals and no health care system (I know America's is pretty shit which may lead to comments such as "whats the point of having a health care system if its no good?" but there are countries out there which have made it work) there would be many individuals in society who could not afford any medical assistance.

Nope, her court is private.

But she is an elected judge.

Do we have the right to Deport those who do make it across our borders?

If their initial intentions are to stir up violence, then yes.

So is this Proactive or reactive?

Its deporting which implies that they are already in where ever they are going to be deported from, so I think its reactive Oo
