people always talk about immigration and how it is good or bad based on economy or racism etc. But really the truth is we must halt immigration and it is an undeniable fact why: to stop spread of diseases. So why do you need a union of countries if immigration between them is to be stopped, you don't. This same reason might mean the end of the Union of States called USA. Can you imagine restricted travel between states. Maybe checkpoints at the border where they test you for corona. Unpersons that tested positive not allowed to travel.

I'm fairly certain that would be unconstitutional in the US. The union requires a freedom of movement between states. Not that constitutionality has always stopped the government before, but probably important to mention.

That's why they're planning to break up the US.

It's called UN agenda 21.

you could say then that the civil war of 1860s was unconsitutional. Truth is constitutional power comes from barrel of a gun. Look at this lockdown right now. Pretty crazy. I know some theories about Trump where he is not the one to order the lockdown and let's governors of states do it because states rights allow them to but in reality it has been ordered from the top down. Because it would be unconstitutional for the federal govt to order businesses closed. Same happened in 1918 with spanish flu.

yep. many have said that, but not because of freedom of movement between states. Just because states use to be able to leave the union if they decided to.

I agree with the rest of your comment. Not only the bit about the difference in state and federal law and their constitutions, but people are far more ignorant of their state constitutions. I've been trying to remedy that in the last few years, but I include myself with that criticism.

yeah it's just that the constitution gets ignored a lot. Either overtly or thru loopholes. I remeber with the occupy wall st peacful protests. It got leaked that the department of homeland security and FBI was coordinating with mayors across the country who then had the local police crackdown on the camps and kick out the protestors. Did the federal govt halt peaceful protests, which would be unconstitutional, against the first amendment? No, not technically. But it happened nonetheless.

How about when they infiltrate protest movements with agent provacateurs. Or when NSA spies on us. If anyone whistleblows they get arrested for the espionage act of 1917 that does not let them defend themself. Govt can make whatever they want classified.

Totally agree. Not trying to argue its ok if they use some loop hole or just don't get get called on it by most of the public. Just pointing out a technicality in an effort to understand and clarify the differentiation and point out their motivation to muddy those waters by involving the states in their sick manipulative ways.
