If you took the time to READ the first post on this thread and read the link, you would find that you are factually wrong across the board. I have no disagreement with you in theory, but the Posterity of the founders / framers have no control over their country. For you to give it away through ignorance is a bitter pill for me to swallow. I will leave you with a personal story and see if you can understand.
When I was very young, I left home to go to work in Sevierville, Tennessee. There were signs all over the place. I couldn't get a 1 dollar an hour job if I had 2 dollars an hour to buy it with. After a few days my uncle and I were having a discussion. I related to him my experiences. He said to reapply at a place that didn't even let me fill out an application. He said that your uncle - then his name said I should apply. Twenty minutes later we were discussing my pay scale and work schedule.
Sorry, I don't get your story. Did you leave out a word or something?
Nothing was left out. The story has a moral to it. We cannot progress very far unless you start at the beginning.
It is unclear from the story, what role your uncle played.
You want to lay the immigration problem at the feet of undocumented workers. MILLIONS of our youth are locked out of the job market; millions are too damn lazy to work. Some have criminal records, drug habits, etc., etc. So first you clean up your back yard and come up with some human beings that are able, available and actively looking for work. THEN, those of like mind recommend you for a job.
If Hosea shows up in your country, but the jobs are reserved for the people of friends and family, unless somebody has to come out and draw you a picture, this ought to be saying something to you about how life used to work.
1. There is plenty of blame for our immigration problem to go around. Yes, some of it needs to go to the people that come here against our wishes and democratically enacted laws. But there is plenty of blame for our political class that has A. failed to enforce our laws, and B. failed to be honest about the immigration policies and their effects.
2. The immigration policy of this country should be structured, so that Hosea is not allowed to show up, if by doing so, he is taking a job away from Americans, or even suppressing their wages.

Thomas Jefferson’s First Inaugural Address
“All too will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression. Let us then, fellow citizens, unite with one heart and one mind, let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty, and even life itself, are but dreary things.

The federal government does not have any de jure / legal / constitutional authority in who a state does or does allow in.
I'm not a Democrat, so I do not support their laws.
If your claim is that foreigners steal jobs then you are saying a private citizen does not own what he creates. When the government owns the jobs, that is the typical definition of socialism. See how easy the left played you?

Did you know that in America we only have a national holiday for two men? One is Jesus Christ and the other one a godless communist that pretended to be a Christian preacher.
...There is no unalienable right to be welcome here. That is a privilege.
Okay, I'm going to start agreeing with you. The right will have it no other way. Congratulations, you win. If people do not have an unalienable Right to cross the border to take advantage of opportunities willingly offered then the government can come take your gun, tell you to STFU and we can all become good little socialists.
The Declaration of Independence precedes the Constitution and if all men are not equal then and have unalienable Rights, then nobody does. IF my critics had asked questions relevant to the OP, we would have delved into this. Suffice it to say, everybody is too scared to have this conversation. You, through ignorance, have signed your name to those who demand human slavery. I'm getting tired of fighting for freedom on my own, but the fact is we had this fight won in the 1990s before the left flipped the right. Know this: Your "win" here today is a hollow victory. We had better ideas in the 1990s and the left easily flipped you. We could've won, but without an acknowledgment of unalienable Rights, NOBODY has them. What you want done (or achieved the same result) could be done WITHOUT the government. They will not give you what you want and it will permanently backfire in your face - of that I can promise. But, FWIW, congratulations.
The Declaration of Independence precedes the Constitution and if all men are not equal then and have unalienable Rights, then nobody does.
- that is the premise of the christian influence is shaping the u s constitution - no mention of equality.
it has been pointed out to you already, there is no mention of equality rights in the u s constitution - whatever you claim as founding the nation, states rights the declaration of independence have no bearing on the final document that is the source for your thread and the founding of the nation, the u s constitution as written -
it was the christian influence that removed inalienable rights, equality from the constitution to institutionalize slavery, misogyny etc. after the military victory they had fought for and was used against those believing in equality after their sacrifices.
the same as the christian "religion" using the 1st century events to institutionalize the same misgivings accomplished by someone else's sacrifices. porter rockwell - the slanderer.
How do you support the claim that is was "christian influence" that led to "no mention of equality" in the Constitution?
How do you support the claim that is was "christian influence" that led to "no mention of equality" in the Constitution?
you can not have your argument of the founding as a christian nation and then deny the written document you base your proposal on as a matter of ambiguity - there is no mention of inalienable rights or equality mentioned in the final document, u s constitution therefore by your own argument that was a rendering by christianity despite the declaration of independence the citizenry fought for.
for its time the written u s constitution was indubitably the first truly sociologically secular document ever ascribed to as a governance in the recorded history of mankind - despite the christian influence.
You can't fix stupid.
NOWHERE does any document connected to our founding speak of "inalienable rights." The Bill of Rights codified the unalienable Rights
Samuel Alito, United States Supreme Court Associate Justice said:
“The seed that became the Bill of Rights was planted here in Philadelphia in 1776 when the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence,” he said. “The Declaration of Independence proclaims the every person has a certain unalienable rights that are precious to us. The Bill of Rights codifies the promise of the Declaration of Independence., it codifies unalienable rights that are precious to us as Americans. ”

1. Someday, we will have to have an arcane historical debate about the role of the federal government in immigration policy. I can see you have a passion for that issue. Meanwhile, here in the 21st century, immigration is a federal issue.
2. Our laws were democratically enacted, and our the expression of our wishes. That our political class has failed to enforce them, is them failing in their role and betraying their responsibilities and the loyalty they owe to their fellow citizens.
3. I made no mention of "stealing". I just want to consider in the crafting of national policy, what will serve the interests of American citizens. Bringing in foreign labor to compete with American workers, would serve the interests of American employers while harming the interests of American workers. Generally speaking.

MLK, was certainly left leaning. That quite often means not religious, it is true. But I do not know his history well enough to have an opinion on the sincerity of his religious beliefs.

why do you refer to the declaration of independence when no where in the u s constitution is there the mention of equality or inalienable rights - what exactly do you believe the 19th amendment represents than the lack of your very basic argument no less ridiculous than alito's - what they left out actually really exists ...
tell us rockwell are you screaming for the ratification of the equal rights amendment or do you already believe it exists as fundamental law - christian. you can not be for both. equality and christianity.
I thought you had given up the argument that being a Christian Nation contradicts the idea of religious freedom.
The earliest state constitutions before, during and after the framers worked out the Constitution required political office holders to take an oath (but no test) that they believed in a Christian God.

You want to lay the immigration problem at the feet of undocumented workers. MILLIONS of our youth are locked out of the job market; millions are too damn lazy to work. Some have criminal records, drug habits, etc., etc. So first you clean up your back yard and come up with some human beings that are able, available and actively looking for work. THEN, those of like mind recommend you for a job.

Here is the deal for me:
I do not like the fact that there is a deliberate flooding of America with non-white foreigners for the sole purpose of committing subtle genocide against ONE people. Furthermore, it is humiliating and depressing when every time you cut on the computer, tv or watch a movie it is multicultural propaganda being presented as entertainment.
WHEN I saw this stuff coming I went to work in immigration law to get the facts and best serve the interests of what were then constitutionalists. I manned the border; I went on radio, tv, and was in countless magazine and newspaper articles. I worked the prosecution (government side), the defense side; worked with Latino groups and was even called as an expert witness. Not bragging, but I have no superiors and damn few equals on the subject.
After six years of working in the field and sitting in and even having input on more strategy meetings than you can imagine, I used to think I had something to bring to the table. But, you cannot reason with people who have been brainwashed by political propaganda prostitutes that are in love with the sound of their own voice.
I have never lost a court case. The ONLY defeat I've ever felt is trying to reason with the right after they got conned into making the left's argument. The communists used to call those people useful idiots. I've spent many an hour working out legal scenarios and what ifs - the right is simply too stupid to listen. It's like a disease. It's like me watching the Titanic sink and people refusing to get on a life raft to keep from drowning. Let me put this in some simple terminology and give you an example. Stay with me here...
In the 1990s local sheriffs went to court, refusing to enforce federal gun laws. I gave money to the cause and did lots of research (free of course.) The case made it to the United States Supreme Court. The Court ruled:
"We held in New York that Congress cannot compel the States to enact or enforce a federal regulatory program. Today we hold that Congress cannot circumvent that prohibition by conscripting the State's officers directly. The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States' officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program. It matters not whether policymaking is involved, and no case by case weighing of the burdens or benefits is necessary; such commands are fundamentally incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty. Accordingly, the judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is reversed." Printz v. United States (95-1478), 521 U.S. 898 (1997)
Printz v. United States, 521 U.S. 898 (1997)
We walked out with a victory. The federal government cannot force state and local governments to enforce federal laws.
A few years later, the undocumented people in California had to go court over "sanctuary cities." They won the case. On what legal precedent? Let me quote a news article:
"Section 1373 attempts to circumvent this prohibition by forbidding higher-level state and local officials from mandating that lower-level ones refuse to help in enforcing federal policy. But the same principle that forbids direct commandeering also counts against Section 1373. As the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia explained in Printz v. United States, the purpose of the anti-commandeering doctrine is the “[p]reservation of the States as independent and autonomous political entities.” That independence and autonomy is massively undermined if the federal government can take away the states’ power to decide what state and local officials may do while on the job."

Right now, in Virginia, the citizenry is getting counties to pass Second Amendment Sanctuary Cities. At Trump's State of the Union Address, Trump vows to shut down sanctuary cities. Why does the right fail to comprehend the 14th Amendment and the principles that will end sanctuary cities for undocumented foreigners will put their local LEOs into a position of being forced to confiscate firearms whether you have a sanctuary city or not? I can go to court and help win cases, but the right is stuck on stupid; They cannot take you win for an answer because you're stuck with socialist solutions that will destroy you. And you want to debate me????

- that is the premise of the christian influence is shaping the u s constitution - no mention of equality.
it has been pointed out to you already, there is no mention of equality rights in the u s constitution - whatever you claim as founding the nation, states rights the declaration of independence have no bearing on the final document that is the source for your thread and the founding of the nation, the u s constitution as written -
it was the christian influence that removed inalienable rights, equality from the constitution to institutionalize slavery, misogyny etc. after the military victory they had fought for and was used against those believing in equality after their sacrifices.
the same as the christian "religion" using the 1st century events to institutionalize the same misgivings accomplished by someone else's sacrifices. porter rockwell - the slanderer.
How do you support the claim that is was "christian influence" that led to "no mention of equality" in the Constitution?
How do you support the claim that is was "christian influence" that led to "no mention of equality" in the Constitution?
you can not have your argument of the founding as a christian nation and then deny the written document you base your proposal on as a matter of ambiguity - there is no mention of inalienable rights or equality mentioned in the final document, u s constitution therefore by your own argument that was a rendering by christianity despite the declaration of independence the citizenry fought for.
for its time the written u s constitution was indubitably the first truly sociologically secular document ever ascribed to as a governance in the recorded history of mankind - despite the christian influence.
You can't fix stupid.
NOWHERE does any document connected to our founding speak of "inalienable rights." The Bill of Rights codified the unalienable Rights
Samuel Alito, United States Supreme Court Associate Justice said:
“The seed that became the Bill of Rights was planted here in Philadelphia in 1776 when the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence,” he said. “The Declaration of Independence proclaims the every person has a certain unalienable rights that are precious to us. The Bill of Rights codifies the promise of the Declaration of Independence., it codifies unalienable rights that are precious to us as Americans. ”
Justice Samuel Alito on the Bill of Rights’ meaning here and globally - National Constitution Center
The balance of your argument has been refuted so many times here that only an idiot would post what you did. Read the thread. We don't have to litigate the same disproven B.S. daily.
“The Declaration of Independence proclaims the every person has a certain unalienable rights that are precious to us.
why do you refer to the declaration of independence when no where in the u s constitution is there the mention of equality or inalienable rights - what exactly do you believe the 19th amendment represents than the lack of your very basic argument no less ridiculous than alito's - what they left out actually really exists ...
tell us rockwell are you screaming for the ratification of the equal rights amendment or do you already believe it exists as fundamental law - christian. you can not be for both. equality and christianity.
What is the answer that will make you happy? Whatever you're arguing is a lot of disjointed nonsense. What is your real issue? Of what relevance does it have with the OP? OR are we even allowed to discuss the OP?

#1011 There has been no requirement that an American President be a Christian in order to hold the highest office in the land.
#1002 reply to #999I thought you had given up the argument that being a Christian Nation contradicts the idea of religious freedom.
There is no argument, We have never been s Christian Nation and will never be one because of religious freedom established by the Framers of Our Constitution. Something that will never exist and cannot be defined except as an abstract fantasy cannot contradict anything.
My growing case is that America has never been a Christian Nation. And none of it has been refuted.
.....
Pointing out religious influence as foundational of a Nation, while denying it constitutionally, is cognitive dissonance on steroids...

You are engaging in circular debating.
#1016You are engaging in circular debating.
You are not engaged in debating at all.
Your fantasies about beating me over the head define you. My focus right now is on defining Porter Rockwell’s fallacies on a brick by brick basis.
Neither you nor Porter Rockwell wish to play by open rules.
Your can start by explaining what the Christian part of Christian Nation means to you.
Is it Jefferson’s anti-Church, anti-Calvinism Christian-ness, or the Calvinism it Roger Sherman the Constitutional Calvinist.
Christian nation? When so-called Christians elected a serial adulterer and liar like Donald Trump who defiled the prayer breakfast?
what does he defile next?
thank God he belongs to the Republicans.
Okay, now you're not being topical. I do not support the antics of Donald Trump. But, if you like hiding behind baby murderers and a party that endorses drugs that kill hundreds of thousands of our younger people, then have at it. BOTH parties are less than fit to rule a nation like ours.
If America is a Christian Nation shouldn't we just wait around for a Voice to thunder from On High, telling us what we're supposed to do next? Not that I'm going to pay any attention, of course.

You did say : "BOTH parties are less than fit to rule a nation like ours." I'm wondering who you think should rule us.
We need qualified leaders that have a direction.
