"Honor" is remembering what side of the Border your allegiance is. Yes, there are still Borders and being an American means having allegiance to your Country.
What you lack to see is the fact that one can have allegiance to America yet also see the abuses of the current immigration system.
Because something is the law that doesn't mean that it should be. Nor does it mean that the law shouldn't be changed.

Honor means respect or esteem for another. There are no borders.

Give that Mom and her baby citizenship, the damn father died for this bigot Country for heavens sake.
Why are WE (Americans) considered "bigots" for wanting people to have respect for our laws in OUR OWN COUNTRY? That is a point "pro-illegal" supporters don't get. It is not the "face" that makes someone here illegally. It is the ACTIONS of those breaking our laws.

We have a law that says breaking and entering into your neighbor's home is illegal. Would you like to have that obeyed / or not? Do you think we should pick and choose which ones we want obeyed? A world w/o borders is a truly wonderful world - but not in this lifetime.

Because I would want one law enforced doesn't make it automatic that I would want ones enforced that I and many others feel are wrong.
Like the FEMA Camps if they were ever used to lock up Americans that speak their mind I would not want that law enforced if it were made law. Because something is law doesn't make it something that people shouldn't speak out about and try to get it changed it they feel it is wrong.
Just as you are speaking out and saying they should be enforced.
Why would you say a life without borders is a wonderful thing but not in this lifetime. I'm not for no borders, but on the other hand I will say that we have states that have borders and they allow people to freely go from state to state. That hasn't compromised the sovereignty of any of those states. They do set their own state laws now don't they. What harm has that caused?

It's one thing to speak out about change - it's quite another to break the law while asking for change!

This Country - The United States of America has borders. Yes. The States have borders. Yes. This is NOT the United Continent of America. Governments in OTHER countries don't pay OUR bills and don't make our laws.

Division is running rampant in this Country and you do bring up an excellent point about States making their own laws. That IS proving to be a huge problem. It does not unite us at all.

You're so polluted. Goto any criminal court house and tell me how many freaking Americans who don't have respect for the laws.

Here you try to preach to me about Americans demanding respect for the damn law while our Nations court houses are over flowing with American law breakers.

Please, you're playing the world's saddest song on the world's smallest violin.

There are no borders? PUHLEEZE. IT IS PRECISELY BECAUSE HUMAN BEINGS DEFINE THEIR BORDERS THAT THEY GAIN RESPECT. Have you not realized at your age that respect is not granted, but gained?

If you honor someone, that means you respect that person's borders (emotionally, psychologically, physically, spiritually, intellectually, etc) and don't cross them. AND THE ONLY WAY YOU KNOW YOU HAVE CROSSED SOMEONE'S BORDERS IS BECAUSE THAT PERSON HAD ALREADY EXPRESSED THEM. THAT takes guts. But THAT also is worth the risk. So if you know where someone's border is and yet you insist on crossing it, then that means DISRESPECT.

The same is true with countries -- which are simply macrocosms of individuals gathered together for protection, trade, and peace. In this day and age, all countries HAVE BORDERS. HELLOOOO. Ever heard of maps??

These borders are delineated, agreed-upon, expressed and mapped. When these borders are breached by a foreign nation, it is a cause for WAR.

You have no expertise in human nature and history, do you? Your posts can easily be shredded to nothingness. Maybe this is why your rating is so low.

Rico,

You missed the point. AGAIN.

We have enough home-grown criminals already without having to deal AND PAY for foreign invaders who do not have permission to be here in the first place.

The USA would not be as broke and as crime-crazy if we didn't have illegal-alien criminals also, don't you agree?

THAT is the point.

No Fedup respect isn't given because one has defined their borders. Respect is given to those that have earned it by their actions and beliefs.....not because they have a defined set of borders. If that were true I guess none of us would have any respect for another state or that other states laws, after all the states do have a defined set of borders.
As to my ratings what to heck are you talking about...ratings, lol. Plus if you feel my posts are nothing then by all means feel free to pass them over as it seems you aren't able to get anything from them. Or is it that you're concerned that others will understand and agree?

You got it right. "Respect is given to those that have earned it by their actions and beliefs....."

No respect can be given to people who act and believe they should have a right to lie, steal, and cheat, their way to citizenship in the United States of America.

Americans have the right to expect our laws enforced until those laws are changed. No foreign invaders, or their corrupt supporters, should have any say in our laws being changed.

All Americans have a say in if a law is changed or not. Even if you call them corrupt supporters, they are your fellow Americans.

Get your head out of your anal orifice.
We don't care if she's Mexican. We want ILLEGAL ALIENS -- all of them -- to go home. We don't care where they're from. The fact is, though, the VAST MAJORITY are from Mexico, and those are also the ones making a big stink, which is why you hear about them more.
If the majority were Asian and they were running around in our streets making a big stink, you'd hear more about them.
It's common sense that you hear about the largest problem the most. To think otherwise shows your ignorance and ridiculous attitude.
This has to be the biggest cock 'o' BS I've read in the last month. Legal, illegal- you wouldn't know the difference..... and I'd be willing to bet that if you attempted to shake down a Mexican gardener or bricklayer for his "papers" and he produced documentation conclusively proving he was in fact here working legally, you'd not shake hands and invite him to your house for diner because the sad truth is, you hate Mexicans. Just like all the other babies crying about "undocumented" immigrants.

If I were in their shoes, I'd do exactly the same thing. Further, I'll NEVER hire anyone to do yard work, brickwork, roofing or housekeeping who isn't a Mexican.

American brick crew- 2 months to lay 15k brick: "bad weather, just couldn't make it blah, blah, blah" Mexican brick crew- 2 weeks to lay 10k bricks, and they were actually done a little sooner than that and the job was PERFECT, especially compared to the previously hired American brick crew.

You are right. Nowadays though, it seems like anyone can call themself an "American". Law-abiding Americans *should* be the only people in this Country who have a say in the making of our laws. People who support others who are breaking our laws can be considered traitors.

traitor = a person who betrays another, a cause, or any trust

Yes, you can argue that some of our "law-makers" are "law-breakers" and not the most honest "Americans" walking around. That simply isn't my point here. Laws should be obeyed until they are changed - by American voters.
Do you know any criminals behind bars that are allowed to vote while incarcerated? They (the majority) are "Americans". Why do you think they are not deemed eligible to vote? Voter "fraud" is a dangerous occurrence in this Country and we can't protect our *democracy* w/o laws. That's just IMO.

But those that have some differences on the immigration issue have been called traitors and what did they betray. Nothing imo as they are looking for ways to fix a broken and bleeding issue for the benefit of the majority of Americans, just as I believe you are doing.
I agree we need to have laws and those laws need to be enforced but we also need to fix those laws that don't work or aren't right. I don't believe that other Americans need to suffer the hardships of having to chose between remaining together and suffer in another Country and culture or separating and suffering the break-up of their family.
As to voter fraud that is something that is truly a threat to our freedoms and rights as American citizens. To computerize those votes without paper back up to me is wrong and that system can be fraught with misuse and fraud. With paper back up we can always verify those that are voting and who they voted for. Plus the registration is supposed to be verified by the county and state prior to voting.
