Get rid of welfare? Agreed. Get rid of handouts? Agreed. Restore the 2nd Amend. to it's original intent? Agreed. Remove the borders? Hell no. Just because you restore the 2nd Amend. doesn't mean the borders will be magically more secure. Yes, Bush is a dismal failure at securing the borders, but it's still a far cry from leaving it open to all.
I mean, just because people would have their unrestricted 2nd Amend. rights restored (as they should) doesn't mean everyone will go out and buy a gun. It sounds to me like you're hoping the people will take up the security call, but I'd say many wouldn't bother. One thing I do believe the gov't should do is protect our damned borders. If they can't, or won't, as the case may be, then yes, citizens need to do it. But dissolving the border in no way helps the situation. If anything, it would lead to more confrontation between people who want to defend their land, and the gov'ts position of having the borders open for anyone to come and go.
I don't necessarily agree. I think we need to be able to control our borders. Not to strain out people due to some ethnic bias, but to keep the criminal element from invading us.
Borders. Language. Culture. These are the things that make up a country. We used to be a melting pot where we came together under a banner of freedom and free markets. Now, we are a bunch of enclaves each trying to scrabble for a piece of the government pie.
