For me this has to do with integrity; what it means to be a nation, the price paid for liberty, the blood soaked wages of citizenship. The proper coarse for citizenship is to earn it, by demonstrating that you are willing to work for it. There is no physical measure, but rather one of character and heart. Also, I've never made a claim to "no government". Government has a primary role in preserving national sovereignty. Where I chaff is when government interferes with a citizens life, liberty or property when that citizen has caused no harm.I agree fully with Pete and Jester.
The rights you have because you were born in the US you have for the same reason as somebody has them when being born as the son of a king and queen. So you are also a convinced monarchist?
Nobody asks you to give away your rights because you were born in the US, but please don't come with some rational reason based on your political views to explain why it is correct that others should not get the same rights just because they were born somewhere else.
Well, actually we could do these things (and this should make you happy) if we do away with all trade restrictions western countries have put up to remain rich and obstruct the free market.
