It's fine to stand on the principle but what about the actuality that your daily bread is at risk from competition by millions of sub-minimum wage illegals? Illegals who will also eventually be voting. And voting to hand over the rights you hold dear to total state control.
The situation you describe does not exist because the government isn’t controlling my most basic rights enough. It’s because those who supposedly represent us are doing everything they have no legitimate power to do, and few of the things they’ve actually sworn to do.
