On the one hand, it implies these unalienable (sic) rights are universal, and on the other hand, it implies they are specific to US citizens.
This means that illegal aliens should be allowed to own property snd live in the USA.
So if the government uses military force and conquers you, they should be allowed to deprive you of your unalienable (sic) right to property.
That seems to be what you arguing.
In other words, the government is allowed to regulate how a landowner uses their property.
Are you trying to be serious? Look. America was founded upon the premise that we have
unalienable Rights. In order to secure those Rights the founders and framers fought a War of Independence and they ratified a Constitution with a Bill of Rights. The social contract guarantees those Rights so, we the people can hold the government accountable to make good on the contract. I'm sorry, but that contract is not binding on foreign governments. OTOH, when free people ask for our help, the American people have shown up, sacrificing American lives in defense of other peoples Liberty.
Non-American foreigners CAN own property in the United States of America. People can live in the United States without becoming citizens. For YEARS the people have been misled by the far left politicians. The Democrats wanted to divide the people by yapping about the so - called "
illegal aliens:"
Meanwhile, Republican politicians wanted to establish more realistic ways for foreigners to come here without jumping through impossible hoops so that they could participate in the free market:
When the liberal Democrats began losing on this issue, they dropped it on the Republicans and the National Socialists took the lead on promoting the anti-immigrant agenda. The so - called "
Minutemen" that developed the current talking points were all National Socialists:
J.T. Ready committed a mass murder, killing his Mexican fiancee and her family members before taking his own life. Minuteman founder, Chris Simcox, was convicted of child abuse:
Shawna Forde, another of the founders of the so - called "
Minutemen" was convicted of murder and was a member of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) - which is THE top organization in America for creating the talking points and lobbying for the anti-immigrant lobby. If you're going to argue on behalf of that position, be prepared to tell me which of the neo-nazis you like the most. FAIR was financed by John Tanton who funds about a dozen anti-immigrant non-profits. Tanton is a supporter of eugenics which is the racial ideology of nazis. How far do you want to go with this?
My
PERSONAL OPINION, and not as someone qualified to speak for The Charter signatories, I do not believe in the language of legal vs. "
illegal immigrants." The Declaration of Independence is unequivocally clear:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."
The moment a foreigner lands on U.S. soil, they have Rights. That does
NOT entitle them to become citizens or draw from the public (i.e. unemployment, welfare, socialist security, etc.) They have no "right to vote" under our Republican Form of Government. The notion that someone must be here legally (which means that everybody who washes up on our shores must, at some point, become a citizen) is inconsistent with the original intent of our Constitution. While the Preamble was a contract between we, the people and that entity called government, nonwhites poured into the United States to take advantage of opportunities willingly offered. If a majority of white people don't want foreigners here then they shouldn't buy from them, sell to them, hire them, or do business with those that do. Let the free market determine that. Sure, you can regulate people coming in by requiring a Guest Worker status, but you cannot limit them by any arbitrary number OR expect them to become a citizen in exchange for participating in the free market.
