Rights Vs Security National
| QUOTE |
| The government side is defending the use of security certificates, which allow the indefinite detention of non-citizens who are accused of being threats to national security. |
The key term in this sentence is "non-citizens". I know this may sound harsh but I strongly believe that non-citizens really do not have the same rights as citizens. I am not saying this should mean that they should not be treated fairly, but their rights should not be the same as a citizen. One may argue that citizenship has nothing to do with rights, and whether someone is or is not a threat to a country, and that may be so. This is just an opinion I have on the matter, and nothing more.

"The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life."
