I scanned through your about page. On it, you have a quote of Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicists of all time.
Do you have any concept of how a scientist is trained to think...to examine...to critique. Do you understand the basis of the scientific method?
Do you apply the same rigor to your theories that Feynman did to his?
All you have posted on this thread is narrative, philosophy...theology...ideology. Do you care, as Feynman did...that your theories have any basis in reality?
If you do care...then you must apply the equivalent of mathematical rigor to your comments. You must explain for example, how your immigration system can function in a real country, within the rule of law. Not how you WANT it to work, but how it DOES work.
Philosophers must apply rules of logic to determine if their premises are logically consistent within themselves, and bear relevance to common human knowledge and experience.
As an example, if in your philosophy you were to deny the requirements for logic, reason, morality and the rule of law in a society...then you negate the tradition of philosophy going back to Plato, and you postulate an abstract system which is not real.
You might as well be writing poetry.

Do you have any concept of how a scientist is trained to think...to examine...to critique. Do you understand the basis of the scientific method? I'm a Senior Researcher in field of laser physics. I spend much of my time designing laboratory experiements.
BTW, we aren't discussing a scientific matter here.
You do not believe in entitlements of any kind. If illegals demand entitlements, should they be deported?. If so, how?
Its much easier to withdraw entitlements than to deport those who claim entitlements (the overwhelming majority are unfortunately citizens). One is needlessly coercive while the other is not.
