My impeachable claim is I am here and they are not. I see no reason why I or anyone else should sit idly by and watch the SouthWest be turned into a Mexican colony.
Move North.
Hmmm just like the Indians should have moved West?
What are your grounds for restricting the rights of your neighbors to contract with Mexicans or whoever else they care to? Buy, sell, hire, rent, etc.
When you have +1,000,000 Mexicans comming across the boarder a year that is called an Invasion. When the Federal Government refuses to defend the boarders and forces the citizens of the states to aid in this invasion this is called Treason.
I feel your pain, William ;-) I suggest we take this discussion towards a more constructive approach. Lets just start a country in cypherspace. I'll come up with a nice serialized certificate of citizenship available in PDF format, suitable for framing. With your PDF cert comes a client-side certificate and membership. All this for only $1. Whats that I hear you say? "I'd buy that for a dollar!" And that's not all! All you have to do is volunteer to spam the correct legislators with pro-crypto lobbying. Enlist to defend cypherspace. Remember, enlistment guarantees citizenship! (ahem...now back to your regularly scheduled silliness) jim
