    That’s a violation of international law, specifically article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    “Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.” “Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.”

      These extremists don’t care about international law, or established laws. Apparently the only laws they respect anymore are the one they make themselves.

        They do not respect those, either, those laws are for poors.

        Their idea of proper “law” is a sheriff that is a Grand Kleagle and running things exactly the way the radical right wing wants Johnny Law to be running things - arresting the “wrong” people, doing everything possible to keep the wimminz in line, etc…

      Conservatives want the US to be a confederation, at least when it suits them.

      The UDHR is simply a declaration, i.e. “everyone SHOULD have these and we SHOULD work towards making sure everyone have these”, but it’s not legally enforceable - it’s not a treaty or anything like that.

        You can still use it to hold people accountable, especially representatives.

        …and even if it had any kind of teeth, the radical right wing would hate it even more. They despise everything international, especially if it implies that (their version of) the United States is not entirely perfect.
