Of course, you stand by your previous comment, because you have no shame and/or have difficulty with comprehension.

To respond to the first part of your post #401. I see that you would support having the Congress abolish our borders and our immigration laws, but I still question whether the U.S. Constitution provides for them to do that. You cite a section of the Constitution, but perhaps you can post the content that supports your assertion.

In the meantime, I also question how far the Congress and Senate can go against the will of the People. We are the true government, according to our founding documents, and THEY... the 3 branches... are our employees.

You still are not able to address any of the other points I raised. Now, let us see what other silly allegation you can come up with to hurl at me. It should be interesting.

I said merely that Congress is empowered by the Constitution to make laws regarding immigration. The rest is you making stuff up.

You cite a section of the Constitution, but perhaps you can post the content that supports your assertion.

Since you're obviously too lazy to check for yourself:

"The Congress shall have Power To ... establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization" and "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers...."

In the meantime, I also question how far the Congress and Senate can go against the will of the People. We are the true government, according to our founding documents, and THEY... the 3 branches... are our employees.

Well, no. You're describing a democracy. But the United States is a republic, not a democracy. The three branches of government ARE the "true government". They're our representatives, not our employees. They are supposedly held accountable through the electoral process.

If it's really the will of the People that immigration take center stage, then election results should reflect that. Up to now, they have not.

You still are not able to address any of the other points I raised.

Such as?

Big point: John Kerry, John Murtha and others consistently, deliberately go against not only the will but perhaps even more importantly, the best interests of the People in whose name they act in spite of--IN SPITE OF--their oaths of office. There is no question, some like these will go to ANY extreme to circumvent, thwart and ignore the will and best interest of the People--People of course being the actual Citizens whose allegiance is faithful. I have to say that because there are many who are IN America (even born here) but for whom it must be said America IS NOT IN THEM.

Minor point: The three branches are not technically employees; I believe it correct to say they are actually the plurality's proxy and agent for majority rule, while the employees themselves are both of these and our employees as well--actually hired and paid via our proxy the Federal Government, via its proxy the Federal Reserve.

Ping to several others for verificaton on the latter point. Regrettably on the former point, discussion is moot.
