SM, I'm not applying beliefs to you. I just asked you a question. A simple response that you don't belief in that would have sufficed.
I'm pointing out that your understanding of human rights doesn't square with the historical record, the current record, and not even that of the political platform you subscribe to.
Anyway, I've answered the questions and set up a third alternative to the two you stated. I've also covered the objections you raised to the logical consistency within the argument.
I also would prefer that human rights protections extended to all humans, but our society and law does not agree. My personal beliefs on the matter do not prevent me from presenting an alternate view to the two you proposed.
