Europe alone has no capability to defend Greenland and the arctic against Russia and China.The US is already there doing that work for them, but doesn’t want to do the heavy investing necessary without ownership this time around.

Note that Greenland is already de facto part of the US military network. So the US strengthening its position there to protect its interests is closer to the US strengthening its commitment to Taiwan.

So a rather insulting comparison by the left. If anything, willingness to show a commitment to imperial projects may strengthen Chinese perception of US commitment to Taiwan, a strategic node in the US network and key element of the US Asia strategy.

Or is it suggested here that Taiwan is Greenland, and the US Denmark? A better comparison perhaps, but Taiwan isn’t a territory and has 23 million people and an actual military.

A confusing comparison. Taiwan is supposed to be weak Denmark? The US mighty China? So a remote autonomous territory is counted as identical to Denmark? What about Bjork supporting independence? Taiwan is a sovereign country, Greenland is not.

19th century migration didn’t deal with a welfare state, and people dispersed on the frontier. Migrants couldn’t quickly naturalize. Chinese were excluded completely. When migrant flows became too big, and long term cultural assimilation could no longer be assumed, strict controls were introduced.

This is about Greenland

Slave owning America was a utopia for migrants. Or just the brief period before Ellis island. Went smoothly as well?

Personal threats. Nice country there friend. Keep up the good work

The utopia without papers, so they weren’t fascists, I suppose, did have a distinct voting population which ran the country an enforced the laws, particularly regarding naturalization, as they saw fit.

Yes. Old America. Jefferson and co had some issues with random people already in America during the founding become US citizens. It’s true that non citizens weren’t thrown out of the country by ICE, but there were several wars, like with Mexico and the Spanish Empire, native Americans.

That would be unacceptable. A quick search finds a few cases involving “assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers.”

No. The old America without papers relied very heavily on immigration controls and the native born population was easily identified as such. The question of illegality was a minor issue before the 20th century. At some point Ellis Island was built

Non-citizens can only get real id if they are legal. Seems most people carry drivers licenses in the US.

Those random civilians had slaves at that time. At least they didn’t have to carry id. More broadly speaking, I believe the world you long for disappeared around 2001.

If the father is wealthy, “dating” the daughter counts as well

You can get a passport card for $30. Immigrants are aware of lengthy procedures.

The US has a massive police apparatus and they consistently ask for ID

Carry an ID, yes. Can you upload it to your iPhone yet?

The echo chamber is alive! Think I’ll vanish once more. Maybe read some nice Austrian or Danish newspaper in peaceful surroundings with health care and guaranteed quality of life for every citizen, because Europeans are more civilized than Americans.

Incorrect. Try reading my post again.

If voting solved economic scarcity, why isn’t every country rich

If I lived in an area where these operations were taking place I’d carry my passport. And it’s an attitude that should change. “Can I see some id” is a rather common question in the US for anyone. Buying alcohol even.

I tend toward Islam in those moments. United in the ummah, serving god together. No more race or tribe, just the creator and us.

Helmut Schmidt, one of the greatest German thinkers of the Cold War.

When I see police I tend to speed away from them.

That reminds me the US is very low density and has good wages compared to Europe. I wonder if any would be interested in moving to the US. Surely not given how horrible it is there.

That’s not good, but it’s a small group compared. Did they get an apology? A free passport renewal perhaps?
