Yeah, that attitude in the u.s. scares me; the labels we put on noncitizens. Those labels, I believe enabled our compliant media to sell that idiotic Iraq war to the public. I don't recall them tracking the Iraqi civilian deaths at all. I mean, after all, they weren't born in the u.s. so who cares, right?


it's merely formalizing the truth that because they can't vote, the government is not accountable to noncitizens. Do you seriously think that the European Union treats everyone within its borders equally? If that were the case, why are there the banlieues of Paris? Why does Italy treat african boat people so poorly? Why are there stateless individuals of Turkish descent in Germany?
