I couldn't agree more Brad, but there is a trend starting to happen as the USD weakens in the international economy. I am beginning to see illegals go back to their respective countries due to the fact that the dollar is not holding up as well against foreign currencies, and illegals are finding it harder to make it here in the U.S.. There is no question as to whether or not immigration is a contributing factor in addition to the war and everything else going on, but sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't make sense to naturalize these people, make them pay taxes, and learn english as a PRIMARY language so that they can contribute to this country rather than robbing us of our resources. On the other hand, regarding terrorism, I find it pathetic that so many other countries want the US to topple, and yet whenever there is a problem around the world, we are the 1st to step up to the plate to help these other nations... they reject our country, yet they accept our asistance...
Imperialism?... what would these third world nations do if they got their wish and then needed our help and nobody was there to help them?
Since the Euro is holding up so well, I can only wonder if the demographic on illegals may actually change over the course of time...
One thing for sure, is that we need solid leadership to get us out of the international chaos that we are currently involved in, and I don't think that the fix will by any means be an easy one.
Unfortunately, I don't see our current political system as being anything viable for the future of our Nations security or well being. It makes me wish that we could disband the two political parties in favor of creating something closer to the original intent of our forefathers.
Boy, have we strayed from what their vision was for our Nation. Had we stuck with their plan from the beginning, we would be far greater a Nation than we are today.
Strange days indeed!... |
