Out Constitution applies to our citizens, not to every tom, dick, and harry that comes here under false pretenses and in an illegal manner.

What you are talking about is illegal immigration. I am talking about legal immigration. Are you of the opinion then that there should be no instances of people not born in America, or to American parents, being granted citizenship?

Because if you follow our example you'll end up as fucked up as we are going to be. We also have a demographic timebomb to deal with. As I said, our immigration and asylum 'problems' aren't actuallywhat they have been portrayed to be. Populist politics and the treatment of these issues as political footballs, have led us to act in a way that is not in the nation's best long term interests.
