Yes, Bara, if you think the US has a problem with Mexican immigrants, then take a trip to England, Germany, or France.

When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control.

Hear that whoosh?  That's the sound of the "Geopolitical joke" going right over Bara's head.

"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Oh, that reminds me something. There's fascist imperial maps hidden in school corners, the famous sentence written in Portuguese on those maps is something like: "Small nation, but large empire." Showing all the colonies together over Europe, showing we were bigger than europe...lol
Shame i can't find that map.
