As already explained, my position is somewhat different from that of
Lee or Mirco, and certainly more perplexed, but this is just
rhetorics.

First of all, if a law were enacted that provides for the expulsion of
somebody, and the same body resisted it, it would not be composed by
"law-abiding citizens" by definition!

Secondly, are we really ready to abolish any idea of
self-determination and popular sovereignty in the name of Human
Rights?

And even from a purely libertarian point of view, how could a right of
secession from a given country be recognised, but at the same time not
the right of a country to determine its very composition and future?
