Correct.
"...only Vermont and Alaska adhere to the ,in my view,original and correct reading of the 2nd admendment."
And just exactly what is the Vermont and Alaska position on the Second Amendment?
"The melting pot idea of American immigration is better for all than the diversity currently promoted."
This is pure gibberish. Explain your position on illegal aliens and the continuing invasion of illegals into this country.
I sympathize with the illegals desire for a better life.I condemn those who HIRE illegals in violation of America's laws,I also condemn those charged with enforcing the laws because they seldom if ever, punish the companies,executives,or individuals responsible for those illegal hiring. I really don't like the idea of a "Berlin Wall" around America. What I DO want is strong enforcement and major fines and jail time meted out to any company,farmer,political hack who employs illegal immigrants. IF we truly need those workers then raise the immigration quota,screen out the criminals and other undesirables.That Frenchman's poem about the Statue of Liberty should never be allowed to override America's best interests. We can never take all the poor,all the huddled masses yearning to breathe free;far better to encourage and help them become less poor and more free in their own countries.
It is my belief that if those presently here and those trying to get here illegally for jobs and criminal activity knew deportation would be quick and certain and they would not be permitted to take or send their illegally acquired wealth home,then they would stop coming. The U.S. is the safety valve and dumping ground for the mis-managed countries of the world and it must stop.Too bad few seem to care;and if one speaks up publicly the gov't as well as the ACLU slap him down.
