Because America leads the world by example, it's no surprise that some might seek to imitate our domestic rules and regulations on a global scale.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Over many years, the United States has worked to persuade and compel governments around the world to abide by the rules. By spurning our own rules, we put that effort at risk.
If we internationalize everything, we end up with rules that stifle freedom and innovation.
We have to have some rules and regulations in America, or the world would empty out here.
It's much better to have rules that we can actually live within. And absolute prohibitions, generally, are not the kind of rules that countries would live within.
Why does America always need to be the world's policeman?
Historically, America has answered to a higher authority.
We have very strong environmental laws in the United States and elsewhere around the world. The problem is that they're seldom enforced.
America in particular imposes an horrendous burden on the world. We have this wonderful standard of living but it comes at enormous cost.
No matter how powerful, countries cannot rule the whole world. The world is ruled by brains, by justice, by morals and by fairness.
Because the worst of all worlds is when you pretend like you have an immigration policy, you make coming into the United States without our permission illegal, and then you actually don't enforce it.
