If you want equal rights dont emigrate.

Just finished reading her book "They Take Our Jobs". A wonderful book and I can't believe that this is not taught in school. One of the best books out there that deals with the immigration issue.

A human right is not a temporal privilege, its a life term RIGHT.

To reply to one of your comments, where you said that immigrants are not loyal to the country. I think that comment is completely farcical. For one thing, I know plenty of unloyal citizens, that would dwarf the number of unloyal immigrants. Furthermore, I can't see how she is looking silly, she is making a plausable claim, nothing more (from what I've seen on the video). Haven't read the book, so I can't comment fully yet.

As for citizens being treated differently than non-citizens, I'd like to know how you justify this treatment. Why if everyone's ancestors are immigrants should groups of people that live in society (your neighbors) be treated differently than citizens? They live here too. The golden rule should apply here. Treat others like you want to be treated. If one wants no health care to a group of people, then one should expect to not get health care themself.

As for the comment on whether immigration is linked as civil rights, this is perhaps where we differ somewhat. I tend to view immigration as not an economic, legal or even historical issue as much as a human rights issue. Basic human rights that apply to everyone like the right to work in a just environment and a right for an adequate standard of living for oneself and family are violated by economic inequality.
Noam Chomsky an intellectual giant and a deeply courageous and brave man. I guess he also must be very proud of Avi. Wonderful upload! Thank you.

If you propose having health checks for immigrants, what about health checks for everyone? Do we deport people with AIDS or influenza? That would be funny. If one is an ancestor of Germany or France, and have AIDS then they have to go back! What would we do with the sick American Indian community? I got it: set up a leper-like colony in Hawaii or Guam.
