After the Plague: Sleeping Beauty, Part 2
I don’t see how she’s crazy. She’s right. How are you going to accept a giant copper statue, place it at what was considered at the time to be the entrance to our country, which all immagrants would see, and then put a plaque on it that says:
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
How are you going to do all that, then kill the inhabitants of this land, and then call Mexicans (which owned like 1/3rd of the land now called America) illegal?
Yeah. I don’t agree with that. I think it’s quite reasonable that the country that now exists can have laws governing intake of people.
What other options are there?
I get the vibe. But give me one reasonable alternative.
What other options are there?
I could see this working in a world where people were sensible. I’d certainly support giving back some portion of the country and saying “ok you’re your own country now, have at it”.
Where people will fight to the death is: which parts and how much land.
But this at least is could be the framework for a reasonable option.
