Quick: Name the advantages of being an American citizen.
That might have been an easy task 20 years ago.
Today, not so much.
Think about it. Take your time. I’ll wait.
While you’re thinking, consider this: As a citizen, you are under an incomprehensively massive number of laws no human being could ever familiarize himself with in a lifetime of trying. The government tells you what services you must buy and at what cost. The harder you work to succeed, the more money the government will take from you. Meanwhile, you don’t need to be a U.S. citizen to get food stamps, medical care, free schooling – sometimes even reduced college tuition because you are not a citizen.
In recent years, the federal government, which is supposed to serve the citizens at their will, has learned it can do just as well – even better, perhaps – by forgoing accountability to citizens and borrowing money from foreigners and the Federal Reserve at their will.
I suppose you can say that as a citizen you have the right to vote. But what are your choices? In 2006 American citizens worked hard to pass legislation in the House and Senate to seal the southern border of the U.S. because of concerns too many non-citizens were coming into the country with no accountability. The bill was even signed into law by the president. But what happened? A new Congress refused to fund the law.
