Do I agree to go along with being ruled over by criminals when it leaves the rest of the future children and families imprisoned and enslaved?"... OR "do I stand firm, and say, no more!"?

That is about the size of it. Well said.

They did tell me I had to let them in.

They will say anything they can think of to get you to "consent" to what they are doing.

However, most of them know very well that if they continue over your clear objections then they will be liable to federal civil suits.

If you show that you know your rights and are willing to stand on them they will often go away rather than risking expensive lawsuits that they will likely lose (potentially with huge penalties AND a hike in their liability insurance... if it doesn't simply get dropped).
