INVASION OF THE U.S.A. BY ILLEGAL ALIENS:
MODERN CULTURE AS THE CHIEF CULPRIT
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE LINK BETWEEN MODERN CULTURE & THE MASSIVE INFLUX OF ILLEGAL ALIENS INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA --
WHAT MUST BE DONE BY LOYAL AMERICANS TO PRESERVE THE NATION THEY CHERISH & PASS ITS BLESSINGS ON TO THEIR
POSTERITY: IMMEDIATELY BEGIN RESTORING PRIDE IN AMERICA'S COMMON NATIONAL CULTURE, THAT IS, AMERICANS'
AWARNESS & APPRECIATION OF SHARED VALUES & BELIEFS, THEIR SENSE OF COMMON NATIONAL IDENTITY & PATRIOTISM
FULL STORY:
With Democrats and Republicans alike tap-dancing around the entire issue of
illegal immigration, little hope for a true fix will be found until the root
causes are addressed. And those causes go directly to the cultural rot that
has run rampant in America over the past several decades.
But, while society in general has been severely degraded by it, its effects
are being manifested in the illegal situation to a greater degree than
seemed possible only a few years ago.
It is no wonder that California, with obsessively “progressive” attitudes
dominating every public institution from the local animal shelter to the
highest state offices, is being completely overwhelmed by the influx of
illegals. On every occasion that they attempt to take serious corrective
action, Californians are thoroughly hamstrung by the very system they
nurtured and promoted
California’s courts have no problem overruling any effort of the people to
rein in the problem. Their schools, under the dominion of “political
correctness” and multiculturalism, have long engaged in the soft
segregationism of “bilingual education.” It is unrealistic to expect that
they would advocate any resurgence of old-fashioned patriotism and
Americanism that might promote the cultural assimilation of immigrants .
The government of Mexican President Vicente Fox has, in recent months,
become increasingly hostile to American interests, even to the point of
shielding Mexican citizens from accountability for murder committed within
the U.S. borders. Of course the Fox government is quick to threaten legal
action in the event that its invading legions are denied their
“constitutional rights,” as defined by Mexican officials.
But Fox is not the ultimate villain. Rather, he is merely someone who
recognizes opportunities made available to him by accomplices north of the
border. The true culprits lurk among those in authority throughout local,
state and federal governing institutions of the United States. Without their
collaboration, Fox could not hope for any success in his seditious efforts.
Consider the whole concept of “sanctuary cities,” which are jurisdictions
that refuse cooperation with U.S. immigration authorities, thus providing safe
havens for illegal immigrants. Such thinking results primarily from
softheaded Liberal philosophies, normally pursued in an effort to make their
originators feel good about themselves (with an added benefit being the
steady supply of dependent class voters).
But the unintended consequences can be dire. Denver, Colorado -- one such city --
is now in an uproar over the killing of a detective by an illegal immigrant
who was apprehended on three occasions for such crimes as driving without a
license and using phony identification papers. Yet because of “sanctuary
laws,” prior to the murder, he could not be held, deported, or even
questioned. Now, as a fugitive, he has likely returned to Mexico, where he
will be “protected” from American justice.
Nor should Fox’s American collaborators be presumed to only reside among the
political Left. Just as the countercultural mindset has overtaken the
Democratic Party, so has a mindless allegiance to capitalism undermined the
Republicans. While capitalism is the inevitable byproduct of a free and just
society, it is no more inherently moral, in and of itself, than any other
economic system. Those who doubt this need only look to former Enron CEO Ken
Lay.
Among unscrupulous capitalists, the flood of illegals provides a shortterm
financial windfall. But, just as those on the Left indulge their sympathies
through “sanctuary laws,” while disregarding the consequences inflicted on
the rest of society, so do these business interests reap financial benefits
in total disregard of the longterm detriment they are doing the country.
Primarily, they operate under the noble sounding premise that “illegal
immigrants are only doing jobs that Americans will not do.” More accurately,
they do jobs Americans refuse to do for Mexican wages.
In any case, how many jobs of this nature could there possibly be? Do they
suggest that the twelve to fifteen million illegals already in this country
are insufficient to perform such work? The stark truth is that illegals only
linger briefly in such jobs, thereafter occupying higher rungs of the
economic ladder, where they further displace American workers.
To whatever degree this scenario is economically viable, it requires an
unending influx of illegals. Therefore, this strain of “capitalism”
ultimately profits by giving the country away.
Americans who cherish their nation and hope to pass its blessings on to
their posterity must immediately begin restoring their sense of national
culture and patriotism. Otherwise, some very undesirable alternatives are
waiting to replace it.
