My headline requires some explanation. I'll expound on "3D" momentarily.But first let me "set it up," as Rush likes to say...
It's true that ours is a nation of immigrants. But what liberals refuse to acknowledge whenever they use that phrase is that we're a nation that grew and was formed by incremental legal immigration. NOT by unchecked illegal immigration and attempts to breach the border illegally.
The Irish, Germans, Poles, Italians, Chinese and others who came to live here over the past two centuries assimilated and bought into the values we hold dear, including freedom of speech and worship, representative government, free market capitalism, and the rule of law. The rule of law most certainly includes the economic realm -- contracts, private property, a judicial system with rectitude. Those who didn't already know how to speak English learned it -- maybe not fluently, but their children and grandchildren definitely learned to speak English well.
These days, many immigrants are less likely to assimilate (often, they can be seen carrying Honduran or Salvadoran flags as they march toward the Great Yanqui of the North). Granted, many of them are hard workers, and are coming here for jobs. But there's also a large number who, through family ties (e.g., women who give birth to babies that automatically become U.S. citizens), will be able to access Medicaid and other programs. Too many of them do not make an effort to learn English, and are quick to send earnings back to their home countries.
Although most of the illegals who want to overwhelm our southern border are not criminals, there are some gang bangers and terrorists among them. Liberals who deny this are naive, or just plain bald-faced liars. What's up with Democrats, who normally love a blanket of government regulations, favoring laissez faire immigration with virtually NO regulatory oversight? It's also ironic that leftists, who proclaim their respect for women 24/7, don't give a shit that 70-80 percent of the teenage girls and women taking part in the illegal caravans are molested and / or raped. Don't believe me, lefties? Here's a source you should trust.
I've listed many drawbacks to illegal immigration before; I'll do it again: For starters, our nation has homeless veterans who cannot get adequate shelter and often are given shabby treatment at VA hospitals and put on long waiting lists for appointments. Yet there are those in this country who want to take on more needy people! Sheer insanity.
Law enforcement, correctional facilities, hospitals and schools will be overwhelmed if we open up the floodgate to destitute immigrants. And here's something that doesn't get as much publicity as it should: These poor people spread disease. They do not undergo medical screening to ensure they're not carrying infectious diseases, as would be done with legal immigrants. Tuberculosis, leprosy, dysentery and other diseases that were largely stamped out in the United States are re-emerging.
But perhaps the biggest damage to our nation is the threat that the vast majority of these illegal aliens who end up staying will become registered Democrats. Texas and Florida are not too far away from being flipped into the blue column. When that happens, the Democrats will have a permanent lock on the presidency, and it won't be long until the U.S. House and Senate are permanently Democrat. Given the way the Democrat Party has veered sharply left in the past 10-15 years, that means one thing: The United States will be headed for a precipitous, permanent decline. Statism will lead to a great-big-GI-normous Venezuela in North America. Can't wait! (This grim scenario is likely only IF we don't get a handle on the flood of illegal immigration.)
The "3D" part of my headline refers to the three-dimensional aspect of the immigration threat. Despite the very egregious problems and consequences, there are three strong proponents of massive immigration, whether legal or illegal:
-- The Democrat Party, which wants to register more voters AND work hard toward making Caucasians the minority in this country (no point in mentioning the corrupt media separately, since it is but an appendage of the Democrat Party. Suffice it to say, the media is simpatico);
-- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce (and by extension, many corporations and businesses large and small). They want plentiful labor, low wages, and the ability for employers to avoid providing expensive benefits. They're all about keeping the payroll down, even if they are contributing to a dysfunctional dystopia; and
-- Self-serving 501 (c)(3) -- aka tax-exempt -- organizations that can make big money helping refugees and immigrants re-settle. Catholic Charities, Jewish Family Services, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, Episcopal Migration Ministries, and many others are making money hand-over-fist. Yes, they're supposedly not-for-profit, but they also don't pay taxes. They're run by humans, so of course, they're going to do all they can to maximize revenues into their coffers, and ensure that none of it ends up being "profit."
It's pretty hard to stand up against unchecked immigration when faced with such daunting opposition. But if we don't fight for our country now, it will be too late. The battle -- and soon the entire war -- will have been lost.
