>As for what governments agree on or disagree on - does that not change from one time to another? Governments come and go, but the people remain, as they have always.< Imo "the people" is just as arbitrary a construct as political borders. Who are my people? I get to decide that. And I get to change my mind about it right up until I die. As for crossing borders and risking bullets - that is a liability that befalls those who place a supposed birthright ahead of an expressly written law. What I would do is change the law from within the system. If there is serious inequity at work, then the law should prove malleable. Not trying to pick a fight. Just trying to observe that perception of birthright can breed a dangerous sense of entitlement.
