Only an individual can own land.

Tooth fairies, governments, Easter bunnies and all the other fictional entities cannot.

It's not a big deal, but I do consider American Indians native but I also consider multigenerational Americans native too. Specifically I see Indians native Pre-Columbian American and most all multigenerational Americans Native American. Native doesn't have to be aboriginal let alone indigenous, and supposedly no modern human is indigenous outside of Africa, but I'm not sure I fully believe out of Africa theory.

Sure they do. I believe we effectively have open borders as it is.

46% of the 24% that answered affirmative to open borders. You are not understanding the math.

OK, I'll help you. Let's imagine there were 100 respondents. Of those 100, 24 said they were for open borders. With me? Of those 24 respondents, 46% identified as liberal. OK. So, 46% of 24 is 11. So of the 24 respondents that answered affirmative to open borders, 11 were self identified as liberals. Understand now?

I understand that you are extremely obstinate in your misunderstanding. Why continue to make a fool of yourself?

Inaccurately. We know that 24% of all respondents wanted basically open borders. We do not know what percentage of that 24% are "liberal". We only know that 46% of all "liberal" respondents want open borders.

Default Back to the real

“Open borders” means lazy cowards want to come here and have taxpayers give them free stuff. They need to stay in their country of birth and fight and possibly die to secure their own future and the future of their children.

I seem to recall a couple of historical events called the revolutionary war and the civil war in which our ancestors fought and died to secure the freedom we have now.
Why should ignorant interlopers be allowed to partake of the bounty of freedom without paying the dues?
