Illegal immigration is not immigration.
It's trespassing, on a mass scale.
Illegal immigrants are to be called criminals.
That's what they are. They may be workers;
they may be undocumented; they may be
Mexican nationals; but, primarily, they are criminals.
It doesn't matter whether they've committed an
act of violence (though many have), or whether they
are pushing drugs and weapons (though many are);
they commited a crime in crossing the border illegally.
A host of illegal acts follow: identity fraud and/or theft;
tax evasion; abuse of social services--none of which they
deserve or have any right to; etc. They are simply criminals.
Adverse effects result from their presence--no matter
what benefits are imagined in the self-justifying minds of
their collusionists--Americans who hire them.
It's not the saints that are marching in. It's criminal Mexicans.Migration? Is it a natural, epochal migration? No.
Migrations are a thing of a different era in human history.
The Mexican (et al.) influx is a national invasion.
This is the modern world. There are borders.
There are language differences. There are economic realities.
It isn't just a natural demographic exploration.
These people are here to get something from America.
They don't respect America.
They don't want to become American.
They are low-life crooks. Nothing more.
Well, what about earlier American history?
What about the "migration" from Europe?
The western Europeans migrated, did they not?
It was across the sea, rather than land, but,
it was a mass demographic shift--
and it was a mass trespass as well.
It was Indian land they came upon.
But the Europeans didn't really want anything else,
nothing personal from the Indians. They didn't
perceive any 'economic benefits' from dealing with
Indians, or working for Indians. It was a different situation.
The Europeans just wanted land, a new place, a place
where they could set up shop their own way.
They were through with "royalty" and "popery."
This new shop was to be about freedom,
and that included justice. And so on.
At least in their minds, among themselves.
They didn't plan on assimilating into the Indian nations
which they inevitably invaded. The western Europeans
were like the Mexicans of today, in that sense.
But the profound difference was this:
The Europeans weren't beggars, claiming rights from the
Indians, claiming the Indians owed them a job, health care,
social security, or even property.
The western Europeans build their own world--yes,
within someone else's, but, they built it themselves.
They didn't mooch off someone else's accomplishments.
They were losers. They were winners. They were strong.
Mexicans are weak. They are deluded, and are amoral if
not immoral about all this. They see absolutely nothing
wrong with what they are doing, and if questioned,
they justify it as their right! They are the sheep of circumstance.
Their own government abuses them, then tries to use them;
the American politicians try to use them, as well as American
businessmen and even private households.
The powers that be would have it this way.
Any way possible, without pride,
without dignity, or even self-respect.
The Mexicans don't want citizenship.
It would not be to their advantage.
They don't want to become American.
They're actually proud Mexicans.
They're not proud of their government, of course.
But, there is a Mexican spirit, a glorious Mexican spirit,
and they have that. They love that. Even the world
recognizes it. So the political manoeuver to make them
citizens is not something that will work at all.
These people just want to work, make money, and go
back and forth to Mexico.
In this sense, most of them really are innocent.
They are simple in their desires. They are of course hit on
all sides, because they have made themselves vulnerable.
The evils and perils that surround them are the price they pay.
It is a culturally immature thing they do; it is naive.
Again, they are the sheep of circumstance.
They are shorn by any and all who see the opportunity.
And even this is better than what they have in Mexico.
Or so we are led to believe. Maybe that's a delusion.
Maybe the risk of rotting in the desert has nothing to do with
what they have or don't have in Mexico. Maybe they're just
abandoned, morally and spiritually. Family is a crumbling,
vanishing concept for the trespassers. The whole craze of
egotistical adventure is more important than family.
The Mexicans don't care. They have no shame. They are morally abandoned.And the thing to remember is that America does have
enemies, on all sides. There are social movements, within
and without, that constantly plot evil against America and
American people. They are here, now. We cannot ignore them.
We can't write it all off as inevitable. We have to fight it.
Simple as this may seem, I fear the majority of Americans cannot
recognize this, and are in some materialistic-induced stupor,
which disallows any alarm--or at least, any alarm sufficient to
provoke action.
That our government should consider "giving" the criminal
Mexicans citizenship--which they don't even want, shows
how little our government values citizenship.
It has become nothing more than a political tool to them.
The Mexicans just want to rape America, to use the opportunities.
Citizenship is not an opportunity for them. It would inhibit them,
from their point of view. That American citizenship should become
a pawn in the hand of politicians is the lowest condition into which
our government has ever sunk.
