Why were the borders were:left open"

[undergroundpanther]

Ben Franklin is attributed with saying that 'those desiring safety above liberty deserve neither safety nor liberty.' If one particular proposal being suggested as a potential solution to the seemingly insurmountable immigration problem is implemented, those living in the United States --- both those with the right to be here, as well as those that should be tossed back over the border --- will have neither safety nor liberty.

Both the chairman of Verichip and the President of Columbia are on record as suggesting that the vaunted guest workers, heralded as the future backbone of the U.S. economy, could be implanted with radio frequency identification chips in order to ease security concerns by tracking the movements of migrants and reliably confirming their identities.

Citizens might respond, "So? This doesn't concern us. This only applies to those that want to come here in compliance with the law, and the first thing any law-abiding person does is always comply with the law, no matter what."You know, a variation of the old "why-are-you-so-concerned-about-privacy-if-you-haven't-got-anything-to-hide" thing.

This program might start off implanting only foreigners, but little will prevent it from being expanded to include fully American citizens once they have been conditioned to accept the "biochips". The proposal to inject illegal aliens with homing devices is nothing more than a technologically sophisticated manner through which to transform citizenship into a legal and economic irrelevancy, and as a way to bring about the demise of Americans as a distinct and robust people in the world.

1. It seems dehumanizing

Like if you were to put shock collars on people, like those that people put on dogs.

3. Well

I'm pissed about the chip thing.

I got a warning from my therapist today.
She of all people brought up the topic, not me.. First she asked me what kinds of supports I have in my life? She Never asked before I never thought it mattered really..It was kind of strange she opened the topic pretty much after my ass hit the chair there was urgency in her voice. She was alluding the thugs in government are toying with or in process of making legal the coercing of disabled citizens to accept chipping, by saying if you refuse the chip implant no medicaid, no help no rent assistance no government help for anything. You'd be cut off broke,maybe withdrawing from psych meds,or worse. Some clients might lose it, and the paranoid ignorant public will demand the state DO something..and what would happen than?

I asked her what if the bosses here told you to set up the clients here for chipping or drug implants? She said without hesitation she'd warn the clients and quit her job.

She also said she'd quit if government asked her to do several immoral things,I asked her about her position on things before like putting clients in hospitals without just cause.She's a good one.

And this bullshit with the chipping it makes me MAD.

And I am thinking maybe it's time to build some sort of "underground railroads" to get illegals ,disabled and poor people out of here fast before the borders trap us in here. I am afraid if the disabled were to stay here once the chipping begins..There would be alot of freakouts and refusals, We would be corralled up chipped, some forced go through psych medications withdrawal, Some might get crazy again and who knows what else. And they'd be abandoned..I heard there is a huge new prison in Alaska waiting for us loons.Holds something like 1 million people.It makes me furious..
