Anyone that does not pose a demonstrable, physical threat to our rights has an unlimited right to move into the U.S.
Since the purpose of government is to protect our rights, government must screen those entering the country and exclude the entry of those who pose an identifiable, physical threat to those rights -- such as individuals with a criminal record or individuals who are members of terrorist organizations or individuals from nations we are de facto at war with or individuals with communicable diseases, etc.
Government, then, may (and should) screen those entering the country to exclude the threats listed above. But this does not justify the imposition of a limit on the total number of immigrants that may enter in a given year. The nation, after all, is not the property of the government -- and government has no right to act as if it owns the nation and can decide how many people should be allowed to enter.
Nor is it appropriate for the government to devote so few resources to immigrant screening that it takes years to get clearance to enter. We should devote sufficient resources that it only takes days to get a clearance -- and a clearance, once granted, ought to be good for a number of years.

Anyone from anywhere has an unlimited right to just move into the U.S. without asking? Try that anywhere else. |

Virgina Patriot asked:
"What Did He DO? Did he say something bad about an incumbent in an ad within 60 days of an election?"
What he's apparently done is broken a Canadian law, and the people of Canada have a right to have their laws respected and enforced.
The people of Canada need to insist on the equal protection, application and enforcement of their laws or they will devolve into anarchy. Canada only functions if everyone follows the same rules. They should not change the laws to accommodate those breaking them.
Likewise, you may dislike the McCain campaign finance reform law, but it is the law of the land and We the People have a right to have our laws respected and enforced. Otherwise, if people are allowed to break McCain’s law, we will devolve into anarchy.

The ever inaccurate LL has missed Mark by an obvious canyon, but it's a perfect description of Billy Bubba.
Check out Todd Purdham's, "The Comeback Id", in the July 2008 Vanity Fair. Only thing Todd's off about is that the Billy pathology--Malignant Narcissism--is anything remotely new for High Chair Pounder #1. |

...is an obnoxious, preening, arrogant boor.
And I would defend to my death his right to be so.
More reasons to love what America stands for. |

Good Luck and G-dspeed to Mr. Steyn in his pursuit of justice in the Holy City of Vancouver! |

The great conserv PM, Harper, should pardon all of them post haste to keep Canada up to speed with common sense thus negating liberal extremism. |

Hugh, Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn are the tips of the icebergs. Many more Conservative bloggers in Canada are being investigated and charged as we speak. Canada is following the Europe's path to abyss. There are 4-5 more Canadian bloggers that need our attention... Ask Mr. Steyn about it |

You do not need government to tell you how to act. Bob Barr did the right thing here all by himself. When Stormfront tried to contribute to his campaign he told them to go get stuffed. Congratulations. http://reason.com/blog/show/126790.html |

Canada has everything going for it (well except good weather) and they are managing to throw it all away. |
