Wrong. A government is a written agreement by people who have come together on a specific piece of land. Said agreement is the sovereign law of that land, otherwise known as a country. That non-members want to enter the country does NOT negate the country’s right to govern itself–including deciding when and how to allow non-members entry.

How exactly are illegals’ rights violated when they come here illegally? If you come home from work tomorrow and see me in your house, do I have the RIGHT to stay–even if I’ve done your laundry and scrubbed your floors? No. You can’t violate a right that a person does not possess.

What about the rights of all the INDIVIDUAL members of the US who have created and worked and fought for and organized and paid for this country’s existence? Where in our law does it require citizens to subordinate their rights to whoever wants to come here?

All humans have rights, yes. There is no doubt. However, those rights don’t include encroaching on the rights of others. To come here illegally encroaches on the rights of the citizens who have created and maintain this country.
