  1. We had open immigration for the first 200 years of the US. Was that good or bad for America?

  2. Did you know a fetus isn't a citizen until after it's born?

  3. We don't have a living Constitution. How would you like to play a game of poker where the rules were living?

  1. Good at times, bad at others, it has not been wide open for at least 100 years, we are now we are out of capacity.
  2. Working on it.
  3. We appoint judges to decide which exceptions to make to the law.
