I'd really like to hear the Conservative opinion of this. Not only are the Wall and Personal Rights entrenched in the current Conservative ethos, both are staunchly promoted; yet they're profoundly at odds with each-other. How do these people justify slamming Biden for his 'government overreach' mask wearing initiatives? I mean mask wearing is more of an inconvenience than anything; especially compared to Trump's main campaign promise that would entail forcibly taking a thousand+ miles of land from American landowners.

It’s in America's interest to drive Belarus away from Russian influence. At the very least we should be going 100% all in on verbally supporting democratic protests against Lukashenko. This isn't novel or difficult stuff here. Yet the Donald is currently punting the football with a ‘we’ll see what happens’ attitude. I'm thinking he doesn't want to cross Putin, and/or the (for obvious reasons) praise protesters mobilizing against a leader at this current time.

I mean mask wearing is more of an inconvenience than anything; especially compared to Trump's main campaign promise that would entail forcibly taking a thousand+ miles of land from American landowners. My opinion is that the answer to this question is laid out in the constitution - Article 4, Section 4. "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence." The Federal govt greatly overreaches in many areas, but I think it is pretty clearly written in the constitution that border security is something that the US government shall ensure. This is one of the basic duties of a limited government. In regard to the excerpt above, the (southern) boarder is not secure, and the US govt is obligated to take action needed to protect the country from the decades long "invasion" of economic immigrants who are crossing the the border illegally. The large number of people that enter the country illegally make it easy for drug cartels to conduct their business internationally, and within our boarders. I don't think anybody disagrees with the fact that the drug trade has accounts for a large percentage of the violent crime in America. The US government is obligated to strengthen the boarders (build a wall, among other strategies) to limit aliens from coming here illegally, and to help curb the cartel drug trade (and directly associated violence), and also any potential spies/terrorists that could so easily sneak into our country. The United Stats Government SHALL protect us. In regard to the eminent domain issue - the landowners should be fairly compensated for whatever economic loss that they have as a result of border protection. Fifth Amendment: "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation". I'm not sure what the current situation is for the landowners at the border, such as how much land is being taken, the value, and if/how much they are being compensated, but this is an entirely separate issue. The US government has been using "regulatory takings" arguments to screw over land owners, partly because it wastes so much money on pork spending and government handouts, which causes the budget to be stretched thin for basic functions of the government. Edit: I'm not going to argue about the constitution with a lawyer, and I don't have time for it, but you get the general idea. The above is my opinion on it - I'm not sure what the talking heads say, but I would think that I probably am not very far off from what someone like Ben Shapiro would say. 2

You just illustrated the legal justifications the government has to enact policies for national security reasons. That said, there exists countless options and methods the government has to achieve as such, nor does everybody agree on what constitutes national security in many situations – even insofar as border security is concerned. This is because, even though the Constitution guarantees security, beyond acts of war/invasion/etc it is somewhat vague on what the definition of 'threat to the nation’ is; particularly in terms of today's threats. Nevertheless, I understand your point. Many conservatives deem the current situation at the border so dangerous that; 1. ,A wall is the only method to secure us; 2. they are willing to give up freedom to achieve as such. Other issues of national security (Covid being one of them)? not so much. Fair opinion though. Thanks much for the reply. 1
