But we are still constrained by them, in the sense that we cannot violate them without consequences.
Dope: Are US citizens bound by this treaty?
He's already told you the answer.
But I will say this, certain criticisms of the government sound like a violation of Free Speech. So If the USSC decides it is a violation of the Constitution. Not sure what the process is after that.
When have we ever not promised to defend our borders and who exactly in the international community is going to have an issue with that?
We can defend our borders from an armed invasion, no problem there. Securing our borders is different. We need a bigger budget, more officers, and the willingness to deal with problems at the border in a non-partisan efficient way.
I would say prior to 1900 we didn't secure our borders, began doing so shortly after that, and always had people crossing the border illegally.
No one in the international community has a problem with us securing our borders as long as it isn't inhumane, we let asylum seekers apply, and honor agreements we have made. And if we decide to violate those agreements,let it be after we have carefully considered the consequences.
