"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,-- "
This is our credo, it is who we are. Our rights trump any notion of safety and they certianly trump the protection of confidential sources. Because somebody somewhere says we don't _have_ to extend these rights to all human beings doesn't mean we shouldn't. Anyone who has a good sense of history and understands why we are who we are and how we got to be here should understand that.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Where in the above does it say that you have to reside within certian borders to deserve these rights?
