79. All Americans should be because even if they don't care about
the inherent injustice of this, they should be afraid that this could affect them down the road. How soon before some legislative body decides that certain people shouldn't have certain civil rights because they aren't acceptably as American as they should be? The south before the civil rights movement comes to mind. It seems we have been down that road before. Creating a separate class of second class residents and citizens isn't acceptable and how soon before others are forced to join them?
