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.

I asked that they not be dehumanized.
And breaking the law does not void human rights...lest next time you get pulled over for a traffic violation you are OK with being sodomized by the officer.

Indigo, here's what you said a couple of pages back. Yet, no one ever said that an illegal should be void of human rights. All they ever claimed was that they shouldn't be "entitled", meaning they shouldn't be receiving any benefits at the cost of taxpayer dollars. That's why there is no debate. You made an issue out of something that wasn't even there.

Your understanding of the Founding Fathers couldn't be more wrong.
While they did believe that all men are created equal, it was understood that these items pertained to those citizens of the country the documents were drafter for. Otherwise, they would have stated these items as decrees for the world. And, why then would they speak about a Sovereign Nation, if these items were for all of the world.

Sheesh! Mac was pointing out that the Declaration of Independence was written to provide guidelines for THIS country, not the entire world. While every human being has the right to exist, they don't have the right to demand that everything be given to them. Get it now?

Mac was precise and consistent in what he took issue with...And though I include it below for context...he excluded my first line and highlighted the second in his response...
