What about people who think the wall is a waste of money because the money could be better spent going after the people who violate the laws by hiring people who can not legally work in the US. People who not be coming here in large numbers if there weren't a ready supply of dishonest people standing in line to hire them. Hire off the books so we don't have to pay taxes, pay cash to save the sales tax, don't check credentials of their landscapers or domestics because the don't want to know... remember something about casting the first stone ..... |

There will be no witch hunt for peeps here, but the border MUST be closed to further undocumented immigration.Illegal immigration is way down from levels in 2000. A wall in Big Bend National Park will stop no one. No one crosses there anyway (even though it's trivial) because it's a deadly 100 mile walk to the nearest through highway up in Alpine TX. A wall does not stop people who overstay their visa. Basically, it's just a huge waste of money. |

Sure, LION agrees to that but how to fund such a thing, ah, that is the question.Yess, it can be done esp in concert with CSX and NS who woulod get freight tunnels under the river with stops in Manhattan for the pax trains. While $60 billion is no longer chump change, I cannot see it being raised by bonds either. Who will pay back the bonds. I'd not invest in such a bond for fear of never being paid back. Bonds are ok for small projects, these have a decent possibility of repayment, but not one that big. Maybe sell you bonds to the Federal Government. ROAR |

Sorry, I think there may be a problem of terminology. If you’re using “American” in the specific sense of “US citizen,” their presence is automatically legal; no visa is required, and none would or could be issued. Of course, there are some millions of Americans in the broader geographical sense of “persons from the Americas” who are non-citizens here unlawfully with no visa, or an expired visa; but I very much much doubt that that’s LION’s situation.

Posted by Nilet on Fri Aug 10 08:59:57 2018, in response to Re: LION REPORT from CPAC Bismarck, posted by Alan Follett on Fri Aug 10 08:11:15 2018. Sorry, I think there may be a problem of terminology.To clarify: An "American" is someone who resides in the United States of America and intends to do so for the foreseeable future. It also includes people who have previously resided in the United States of America, currently reside elsewhere, but intend to return to the United States of America in the foreseeable future. Within that category, some millions of people are told it's "illegal" to exist for failure to procure a visa, or have been exiled from their country for lack of visa. If you’re using “American” in the specific sense of “US citizen,” their presence is automatically legal; no visa is required, and none would or could be issued. With regards to terminology, a citizenship and a visa both belong to a category of legal documents that might be referred to collectively as "existence permits." Without an existence permit, your existence will be declared "illegal," though a visa and a citizenship both meet the criteria. Broadway Lion has claimed that other people should be required to put considerable effort into obtaining an existence permit, yet he has put no effort into acquiring one for himself, and has offered no justification for a double standard. It also means that using "American" to mean "US citizen" simply tries to dodge the question by definition— even the worst criminals can truthfully state that they're innocent of all the crimes that they didn't commit. Of course, there are some millions of Americans in the broader geographical sense of “persons from the Americas” who are non-citizens here unlawfully with no visa, or an expired visa; but I very much much doubt that that’s LION’s situation. I'm not talking about "persons from the Americas." I'm talking about Americans— people who reside in the United States and intend to do so for the foreseeable future. Broadway Lion falls into that category. So do quite a few million people whose existence is declared "illegal" because they have failed to acquire paperwork that Broadway Lion demands they obtain despite never having done so himself. If he were, say, a closet Brazilian, wouldn’t he be Broadway JAGUAR? If he were Brazilian, he would not be subject to US law while at home, and so the point would be moot. |

Numerous previous exchanges with you have made it quite clear that you are not intellectually capable of holding a conversation more sophisticated than that typically heard in kindergarten classrooms.I can't possibly debate your beliefs, because you don't actually understand what you believe; you just memorize by rote and recite on cue. Moreover, you would be wise to learn that nobody owes you a conversation. If you spew racist garbage and people shun you, then you should learn to stop spewing racist garbage— claiming that if nobody is bothering to debate you then you've "won" might give you momentary satisfaction but it's hardly the recipe for a fulfilling life. |

But I do have the required documentation required for an Real ID Identification (Enhanced ND Driver's License)Required Documentation Information To obtain a REAL ID compliant driver license, permit, or ID card you must present proper documentation. The following documentation from each category 1, 2, and 3 is required: Category 1 1. Proof of Identification All individuals applying for a permit, license, or Identification card must show proof of identity, date of birth, legal presence in the United States, by presenting one of the documents listed below. As a reminder, no photocopies; no hospital certificates; all documents must be original or certified copies only: U.S. birth certificate (state certified; Government issued) Valid, unexpired U.S. passport Report of Birth Abroad issued by the U.S. Department of State Certificate of Naturalization Certificate of Citizenship Valid, unexpired Permanent Resident Card Valid, unexpired Employment Authorization Card Valid, unexpired Foreign Passport with I-94 I-94 Card stamped Refugee or Asylee If your current name is different than the name on your identity document, you will need to bring additional proof of your legal name. Acceptable documents for proof of name change are a certified marriage certificate, a certified adoption document or a certified court order authorizing a name change (no photocopies, court seal required). Individuals born in North Dakota may obtain a copy of their certified birth certificate by contacting Vital Records at the North Dakota Department of Health (visit www.ndhealth.gov/vital for details.) Individuals born in another state may access vital record offices through www.vitalrec.com or http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/w2w.htm Category 2 2.

By your proffered definition, there are indeed “Americans” whose presence is unlawful, as evidenced by lack of a current visa or resident alien card. But nothing in that definition would require the large subset of Americans-by-your-definition who are US citizens to obtain those documents—indeed, a citizen /couldn’t/ have those documents in current status. If for some reason citizen status needs to be proved—well, see LION’s list of Real ID evidence requirements.

I have a passport, but my driver’s license is up for renewal next year anyway, so I’ll probably just pick an odd hour on a rainy midweek day in February, grit my teeth, and wait in line at DMV for Real ID.Alan Follett South San Francisco, CA |

REAL ID compliant documentation is required for entry into most Federal Facilities, and when the last of the extensions end, a non real id compliant drivers license will not get you on an airplane. The term "Enhanced" is confusing, since it is used by some states to describe a REAL compliant document, and by others (I believe 5) to describe a WHTI compliant DL with which you can cross a land or sea border (not air) in/out of a WHTI signatory country. Only available to a US citizen, it is very useful in states where people go in and out of Canada regularly, and don't wish to carry (or pay for) a passport. It is what I have for a NY DL. It is embedded with a chip that can be read at the border crossing. |

But nothing in that definition would require the large subset of Americans-by-your-definition who are US citizens to obtain those documents—indeed, a citizen /couldn’t/ have those documents in current status.That's actually irrelevant. The point is that Broadway Lion didn't obtain such documents, yet he believes that other people should be required to as a condition of being allowed to exist. Therefore, Broadway Lion is either a bigot (who believes some people are inherently less worthy of human rights than he is) or he is a hypocrite (because he believes in equality, yet treats some people as lesser). While there is substantial evidence that he is a bigot, the principle of charity requires me to presume that he is the least odious of the available options, and thus merely a hypocrite. Hence, my initial post remarking on his hypocrisy. |

Numerous tunnels were constructed under the Berlin Wall by East Berliners escaping to the West. Again, no Hamas connection has been demonstrated. |

Didn’t because needn’t and couldn’t.I'm not saying he should have. I'm saying it's hypocritical to demand other people do it when you yourself have not. Accordingly, one may avoid hypocrisy by either (1) doing it oneself, or (2) not demanding others do. Since, as you point out, (1) is not an option (and would be silly even if it were), that leaves (2). If you didn't jump through hoops to get a visa, you can't legitimately demand that other people do so. I’m actually pretty liberal on immigration issues, but it doesn’t seem unreasonable for a nation to want to maintain some scrutiny and control over who is admitted. Documentation requirements are a mechanism for this. Any argument based on the security of a nation is just as applicable to the security of a state. Surely New York should maintain some scrutiny and control over immigrants from New Jersey, Ohio, Florida, Puerto Rico, and Maine? Except that it does. If you want to move to New York, you'll need to register your new address. You'll probably need to get a New York driver's license (or other ID). If you have a car, you'll need to register it here. There's nothing wrong with any of that— but if New York declares that you're not allowed to move here unless you jump through nigh-insurmountable bureaucratic hoops just to obtain a provisional right to live in the state subject to exile at any time, then that would be a problem. Similarly, I have no objection to the US demanding that immigrants produce documentation of identity and register for citizenship— as long as it doesn't assert a right to exclude entry outright based solely on the circumstances of their birth. That's the distinction that Broadway Lion seems intent on ignoring amidst his lengthy lists of documents; at the end of the day, some people are born with an inherent fundamental right to live and work under US law, while other people must "earn" the right to exist through a process that is functionally impossible to complete, and this double standard is a form of bigotry that no civilised society should be willing to tolerate. In short, if I was born with the inherent right to live and work in the US, then the right to live and work in the US must be a fundamental human right, and denial of that right to millions of people is a crime against humanity. |

A wall is a wall, a thing and a THING cannot be racist. The wall stops people from just walking across. It stops drug and or human smugglers from crossing.People who are honest, no matter what race, color, sexual orientation comes across at an established border crossing and presents their documentation. NEXT ISSUE.... There should be NO undocumented persons in the country. If you do not have US or state documentation, then you have documentation from your country of origin. WE will be delighted to accept your foreign documentation. If you do not have documentation from your home country, you should contact your consulate to obtain them. ROAR |
