@fulelo

When does "earning" a human right to safety, security, or liberty end well?

What is she proposing?

A period of indentured servitude in a penal colony? Gladiatorial games in a stadium?

Time in the military services? Plantation labor? Building infrastructure like roads or aqueducts for an empire? Growing tea in Assam & Bengal?

All of these have been tried throughout history to punish those fleeing famine, social or economic collapse, wars, drug lords, & genocide.
