The world is a mess. I think our Constitution stands out as an ideal that people have innate human rights and they should be governed by the rule of law, laws that protect those rights. I think the number of people who risks their lives to immigrate here speaks loudly that many people agree with our constitutional government. Why not open up the possibility to become a state, governed by your own elected officials and by our Constitution. I think it would solve the immigration crisis and be a positive step twords bringing human rights and democracy to a pretty messed up world. We would prob have to get our shit together as a nation but I bet a number of nations would jump on the possibility unless you think the world really does hate us.... Lots of generalizations here but why not?
I think people want life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and judging by how many risk everything to immigrate here why not allow them to attempt to change their home government to a democracy that adheres to the same principles laid out by our constitution?

Most of those people don't really care about the principles in our Constitution. What they care about is free money and benefits.

SrA Art Siatkowsky We've denied this right to the most deserving people that could claim it: Native Americans. So any discussion beyond them, or that, is non-sequitur.

SrA Art Siatkowsky - Well, leaving aside the fact that we effectively stole their land over the 19th and 20th centuries, yes. There have been efforts for tribes to secede and form their own countries within our borders. These efforts met with the outcomes that you are certainly aware of: nothing.

SN Greg Wright - But, they do get tax-free liquor AND immediate approval on construction permits for casinos! Otherwise, we pretty much shafted 'em.
