I don't believe our Constitution is sacred

[ymetca]

and I don't believe our Founding Fathers thought so either. Otherwise they probably wouldn't have allowed for amendments.

That being said, I think it is important to note that nowhere in the Bill of Rights does it indicate one has to be a U.S. citizen in order to be afforded those rights. That seems to be something all these so-called "strict constitutionalists" seem to be ignoring.

The way I read it, pretty much everyone on Earth can be considered a U.S. Citizen. Otherwise, what is the point? It's not about budgets and borders. It's about basic human dignity and respect for each other.

Unless all my fellow human beings on this planet have the same rights as I, and perhaps a few more which we should add (like the right to a clean environment), I don't think our little experiment in "Freedom" is going to last much longer.

All our eyes seem too low to the ground. We're all too afraid to aspire, and act upon what we know to be the truth --that all people on this planet are created equal, but only insomuch as we hold it to be true, even to those most universally despised. There is nothing sacred about it. Believing in some spooky "god-given" rights handed down from on high is the precise fallacy the framers of our Constitution wanted to avoid.

A right being "inalienable" means there is no such thing as an "illegal alien". Accepting anything less is cowardly, nay traitorous!

The greatest threat to Freedom is, perhaps, our over-zealous defense of it, in the mistaken belief that there is not enough to go around. We'd do better to extend that freedom, rather than build a "dang fence" around it.
