Ask @Swordsmyth, that's his argument.
You are the one who wants to allow foreigners to ignore rights associated with property ownership and allow them to trespass on American soil. Why do you support fascism?
What you are saying is, people do not have an inalienable right to contract with each other and establish common rules for a geographical area they inhabit.
Give it a freaken break.

We are united by a contract called the Constitution of the United States of America. If you don't like the contract, pick your crap up and leave, or work to change it as allowed under Article V.

When's the last time a Constitutional war was declared? Hmmm.... oh that's right- WWII.
And, how about unconstitutional gun control? MIC? Forced insurance? Forced medical? Forced "education"?
Oh, yeah, and licenses for things that are already legal/lawful.
Why don't you get over yourself and find out what's really going on with that contract.
There is no spoon.
You falsely suggest I embrace the grievances you mention above in order to pretend the people do not have an inalienable right to contract with each other and establish common rules for a geographical area they inhabit.
Your deflection is both absurd and adolescent!

Looking in the mirror, buddy?
If you had actually read what I was answering in the first quote you blew up over, you'd see I was clear stating that we are losing our foundation of freedom.
Also, that means we ALL have an inalienable right to contract with each other and establish common rules for a geographical area we inhabit. That means I don't have to agree with you unless you're preaching socialism.
The answer is AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN:
GET RID OF ENTITLEMENTS & THE WoD.

And one of those foundations of freedom is the right of people to contract with each other and establish common rules for a geographical area they inhabit, e.g., the United States of America, part of which is establishing rules governing who may enter the geographical area called the United States of America.
Stop deflecting and posting nonsense.

It appears that all anti-immigrant people are democratic socialists at heart, at least with respect to land ownership.

"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
So, lets get this straight. Earth is a prison and you're going to make everyone more free by making the USA even MORE of prison, by surrounding it with a literal wall, armed military guards who will shoot you for crossing the wall, and expanding the power of the government to cage millions of nonviolent people, seize the property, and kill them if necessary? That is what you define as "freedom." That is literally insane.
Also, the condition of the Earth isn't the natural results of anarchy. Rather, this is what the grand experimentation with Statism and centralized government has brought us. And your solution is to create MORE oppressive statism as a cure for the disease? That is like injecting yourself with HIV to cure AIDS.
Wrong. You do not have the right to establish rules for the geographic area you inhabit. You have the right to establish rules for the geographic area you own. The difference? A homeless person may squat in an empty home but they do not own it. Therefore they have to move when they are told to do so by the owner of said home. But when you own your property you can say what does and doesn't happen upon it.
You do not own the USA. It is not your private property. Therefore you do not get to say who enters or leaves it.
False on every account. No one can sign a contract for you. It doesn't matter what your ancestors signed. Their contract is not binding on you. Further, contracts have to be entered in willingly by all participants in order to be legitimate. If not then it is fraudulent and void.
The US Constitution violates all these characteristics of a contract. It is forced upon you against your will. You have no ability to consent to it or not. Nor have you even had the opportunity to do so. And history has shown that any time members of the Constitution try and leave the other members will gang up and murder upwards of a million people to prevent said leaving.
There is no way in which the US Constitution can be said to be a contract. There is no way it can even be said to be functional considering the level of violation the government commits on a daily basis, meaning if it were a contract it would be void ed by the actions of the government alone.
Finally, nothing in the Constitution authorizes the federal government to regulate immigration.
So you are wrong at every level.
That isn't what I support, you don't get to pretend that anyone who disagrees with you is a NAZI and still keep your credibility.
It is the natural result of anarchy, the power hungry fill the vacuum and the people follow them because they reduce the chaos or out of a hope to share in the spoils, the only alternative is to create a minarchy to keep them at bay.

What is irrefutable is, people have an inalienable right to contract with each other, and that includes adopting agreed upon rules over a geographical area [e.g., the United States of America] which people inhabit and own as individuals and in a collective manner for their common defense and general welfare. If you don't like it, pack your crap up and leave.

Native, locals, or, as Swordsmyth noted "cultural Americans".
And the demographic invaders are not using race, or more properly, ethnicity, to further their goals?What it would do, however, is make the soon-to-be minority's race-based politics crystal clear to their "invader" neighbors.
Then what?
I'm rather tired of reading I need to be exterminated.
The police state is already here, and very strong.Might want to look to your left and right at the people who make up the coalition which shares your views on what the nation's immigration policy should be and decide whether you think that they are the types to weaken the police state... Or strengthen it.
I'm not keen to turn into Venezuela Norte.
Which is what you will get, if we continue to allow poor, destitute communists who have not disavowed the philosophy that got them into the mess in the first place into the country, and then whip them into an ethnic hatefest against the natives.
Oh, and you missed the point entirely, which is not surprising.
The indigenous natives of what was to become the United States, initially traded and prospered with Europeans.
The Wampanoag chief King Philip was the first to realize the danger of the foreign invaders, and launched what was to become known as King Philip's War in New England in 1675, when the English demanded the Indians turn in their guns as part of the earlier peace agreement signed by Philip's father, Massasoit.
It would turn out to be an extremely deadly and bloody conflict, in proportion to population, one of the worst seen on continental soil. (Some historians claim a casualty rate higher than the Civil War)
Broken treaties, genocides, roundups, reservations and all manner of horrors followed in the next two centuries.
The end result was the utter and total annihilation of native Indian tribal culture and peoples, reducing a once proud people to a polite form of government incarceration and second class citizenship status.
My family has been here since before Philip's war.
I'd like to maybe not toss all that history and hard work and blood and treasure onto the trash heap.
Tough to do, when you can't mount the slightest defense of your history, traditions (at this point it is critical to note that the very concept of individual liberty, of the individual being of more importance than the collective, is a "white" western European notion) and way of life, without being called a racist.
Which is, of course, the point of framing the debate in such a way.
You know, I'd like to hear the answer to that as well.
If I have no stake in this operation, if I can make no claim to manage the real property of the territory know as the United States nor make any requirements on how the real property is used, then why the $#@! should I pay for it?
