Government must be and always be of the people, by the people and for the people. Government  unifies the people under law. These people are the citizens and legal residents of the country which is governed. A government is a possession of the people—not as property, but as a trust born of their collective will. It is an instrument. It can be used to mold or destroy. It can be manipulated. It has no feelings. It has no compassion. It feels no pity. It has a set of rules, laws and its constitution. The people elected to run or wield this powerful unemotional instrument must follow the set of rules laid down and never let their personal emotions get in the way.

A government exists to protect the possessions (physical and intellectual) and individual rights of its people to pursue prosperity and happiness. It safeguards its citizens, legal residents, and lawful organizations from malicious deprivers both within and outside. While it upholds human rights universally, it is not obligated to protect those outside its jurisdiction.

Other governments may have internal problems, but those are theirs to resolve. They must be left alone. While human rights violations may occur within their borders, this government must exercise prudence before considering any form of interference. However, it must also ensure that no foreign government extends its influence or interference into this nation’s affairs.

If legal residents, citizens, business establishments, or lawful organizations under this government’s jurisdiction become entangled in a country whose leadership disregards human rights, that nation will be warned, and consequences will be established for failing to respect those rights. The government has a duty to protect not only individuals but also corporations and institutions lawfully registered under its authority, regardless of where they operate.

The government’s primary duty is to safeguard its property, possessions, citizens, legal residents, and recognized institutions—everyone else comes second. Assistance to foreign nations must always be based on a clear quid pro quo agreement, not benefiting individual leaders but serving the interests of the nation as a whole.

It is also the government’s duty to provide free healthcare and education to its people. A healthy and educated population is essential for national prosperity, stability, and defense. Without strong and capable citizens, the nation cannot protect itself or thrive. The government must continuously improve its security systems to prevent external or internal forces from undermining or conquering it.

The government must always protect its borders while maintaining a structured and fair immigration process. Immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers should be welcomed after thorough vetting. When individuals seek asylum, refugee status, or simply wish to visit, they are welcomed under specific conditions. However, respect for the laws and the social contract that binds us as a nation is non-negotiable. This means that visitors, tourists, refugees, and asylum seekers must understand and commit to the expectation that they will abide by the laws and uphold the values that make the country what it is.

Respect for the laws, culture, and institutions is the very foundation of the nation, and anyone who enters should acknowledge and agree to this commitment. For large influxes of refugees, designated processing camps will be maintained. Those who comply with immigration procedures will be granted residence, while those who fail vetting or refuse to abide by the process will be sent back to their country of origin.

If an individual is unwilling to respect these basic expectations, then they should not be granted the privilege of remaining in the country. It is a matter of maintaining order, protecting national interests, and ensuring that newcomers do not undermine the very values and systems that make the nation great.
