What really constitutes a country?

January 25, 2013

Yesterday on the article about Republicans doing their soul searching I notice a comment about how they (republicans) shipped our jobs over seas. This made me wonder about why some Liberals argue for amnesty for immigrants. Certainly these people are here for a better way of life than their former country could offer but aren't they also occupying jobs that those of us here could be doing? Bush made a comment about the immigrants doing the jobs that americans aren't willing to do but is that really so? Are we natural born citizens above such work or are we not willing to do it so cheaply?
What really constitutes as a border? Race, Religion, Culture? Do we even really have borders today? Our military seems to be under the impression that the world is their playground; Is prudent? and for who? Did the Republicans really ship our jobs off or are we just not willing to work anymore? What really constitutes a country?

    Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. Highlight: Would set hours of operation of each Athens-Clarke County "building campus" -- e.g. City Hall, the courthouse and Dougherty Street government building -- at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park hours would either be set by the Athens-Clarke County manager or the Mayor and Commission. The ordinance has been derided by members of Occupy Athens and others as seeking to enforce a curfew on public property, thus damaging their First Amendment right to peacably assemble for long-term protests. read more
