Essentially the point is that if the rest of the world adopted the US constitution or something similar in the essential points what objection do we have to a world government based on that? I didn't offer to write up a world constitution but the idea is that as long my rights are protected I really don't care a lot about which flag flies or who's on the back of my currency - virtually no one does except "nationalists" who, oddly, are willing to kill for those things - not ideas or freedom, but stamps, currency, and flags.

You are talking about fantasy. In reality garbanzo, America is the free society that is being over-run by nationalist, tribalist illegal aliens who dont give a damn about America's laws or its constitution. These people's undeniable trend to the left by the vast majority of them shows that they think they are owed something from America. They wave their own flags and speak their own language and take their money back to their own country.

If you cant respect America's laws in regards to legal immigration and the protection of America's borders, that we as a lawful society agree in order live peaceably, is it possible that your objectivity is clouded by tribalism?

LOL. Sure, like the rest of the world, which by and large does not believe in the liberties we enjoy here, are going to drop their centuries old varying degrees of oppression and copy and enforce our U.S. Constitution, just to placate you One Worlders. You are a space cadet.

The US Constitution isn't about creating a world government. If the rest of the world adopted the US Constitution or something very similar, there wouldn't be immigrants flooding into the US.

The only way Mexico will ever be respected, and Mexicans as a result would be respected is to make their own country a decent one. I don't think Mexico should give up their language and culture just like I don't think the US should ---but if Mexico changed it's political and economic system, it wouldn't be a hellhole everyone wants to leave. At one time Japan was ridiculed and their products were mocked until they actually built themselves up ---and it wasn't by forcing other countries to take their citizens. Now they are competitors of the US and respected for what they can do. There is no excuse for Mexico with it's vast land and resources not to do more for it's people.
