Reply #48: That's a drastic oversimplification

[Jed Dilligan]

There's land owned by the government and land not owned by the government. There are people who have a say in policy-making and there are totally disenfranchised people who are still US citizens.

I'm not arguing for equal rights here, I'm just saying the "ownership" analogy is Republican tripe. As for "doing something" about illegal immigration, any attempt to turn the clock back will mean rounding people up, and nothing can convince me that's ever right.
