Not only our children, but we ourselves belong wholly to the state. The big issue for the state in this case is not the "abuse". It's the fact that these children were undocumented. Probably many of the adults are too. They don't want a paper trail from the state office to their front door, and now that is exactly what they have. They do not want to be part of this society. I, for one, don't think they should have to. But I guess that isn't very practical.

I don't agree with their lifestyle. That's not the point. The state owns everyone born on this soil. We are actually governed by maritime law. When the DOCK delivers you, you've got to get your delivery papers. You are assigned a number and will be traced for the rest of your life if for no other reason than to extract the TAXES you owe by merit of being born. The collection arm of the FED, the IRS, will do their duty to the fullest extent of the law. They will leave you destitute if they get a chance. They don't care. You are cargo. You'll get your exit papers upon departure.

These children, and I assume some of the parents, have been DNA labeled, assigned social security numbers, and are WAY into the system. Their lives will be DIRECTLY, rather than indirectly, controlled by the state, probably forever. Or until another Waco. All they want is to be left alone. I am not for a minute defending their motive (polygamy), but I can certainly id with the sentiment.
