To make their point, the illegal immigrants have gone on a hunger strike outside an Illinois hospital demanding free organ transplants for themselves and their fellow undocumented comrades.

And those rights are for US citizens. Not the One World Crap idea you and other Progressives think of.

We (as people) are obligated to recognize them as fellow human beings, with the same rights endowed by their creator as ourselves. Too often the rhetoric crosses into dehumanizinig.

Yeah, I checked the Founding Documents, and I can't find that anywhere.
Illegal immigrants have boldly demanded everything from civil rights in the U.S. to driver’s licenses and government benefits such as welfare and discounted tuition at public universities, so why stop there?
Now they want American taxpayers to finance their organ transplants!

I love getting "advice" from the opposing side.
Kind of like President Roosevelt taking advice from Hitler, on just how to win the war.

The documents were drafted for a Sovereign Country, with defined borders. I believe the Revolutionary war was fought over such things, you know, sovereignty and such.

So..........yeah. The Founding Fathers would not have been all for the Govt handing out free benefits to non-US citizens.

No...the declaration was drafted by a British Colony...sovereignity and borders came after the revolution. You really need to get your history straight.

Oooh, I do love your addition here.
It was drafted for the rights of the people, as it falls under the Sovereign United States.
In your statement, you seem to think (incorrectly) that is applies to ALL, not just US Citizens,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
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,
