My point was not that illegal aliens are to be separated from the rights and privileges of citizens. In that we're in agreement. For precisely the reasons you state. My point was that 'chipping' brings with it the worst kind of potential for abuse.

Right now, the government is giving my money away to the illegal aliens in bushel baskets, and they can't even stop the illegal immigration into this country by those anxious to get it. As long as they cant secure our borders, they might as well be able to identify us payers, and be able to separate us from the "payees".

They have nearly all been taken over many times in the past by other, invaders. (Perhaps there are a few very remote tribes that are "original". but they are very few and very small in population) So it would be impossible to return anywhere to it's original inhabitants. |
