No Border, No Nation

Illegal immigrants and welfare spending programs are leading to chaos, bankruptcy, and societal breakdown.

By Laurence F. Sanford

Without a border, there is no nation.

Millions of illegal aliens are invading the United States, endangering national security, changing American culture, disrupting the social fabric, and costing citizens billions of dollars a year.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines a nation as “a country, especially when thought of as a large group of people living in one area with their own government, language, traditions, etc.”

The United States is unraveling as a nation with:

  • No control over its borders.
  • English language under assault.
  • Judeo-Christian traditions under attack.
  • Judicial process politicized.
  • Infrastructure crumbling.
  • Educational system poisoned with Marxism/Islamism.
  • Standard of living for average American decreasing.
  • Chaos and surging crime on the streets and in homes.

An estimated 13 million illegal immigrants, out of a total of our 50 million known foreign-born population, are now in the United States. This is the largest percentage in history and is increasing daily, with the current daily crossings averaging 10,000 a day, 300,000 a month, or 3,500,000 a year.

Our governmental agencies at the borders no longer control the entry of non-U.S. citizens. Millions of migrants without documentation are crossing our southern and northern borders, surrendering to the Border Patrol, and, in most instances, are released into the American heartland. This process is called “catch and release.”

The porous border endangers American security. Fentanyl made in Mexico with Chinese precursor chemicals killed over 100,000 Americans last year. Recently, 10 IEDs (improvised explosive devices) were found at the Mexico/Arizona border. Women are raped and children abused in the border crossings.

A border wall is the most effective method of stopping illegal immigration, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo dated 2017. The Biden administration ignored the memo and has welcomed open borders with no border walls.

Senator Marsha Blackburn has emphasized the need to secure the border and protect our national security. In October, more than 2,000 military-age Chinese men crossed the border and then disappeared. TikTok, a Chinese Communist Party-controlled media platform with 150 million American followers, is guiding Chinese illegal aliens through Latin America into the U.S. It is very difficult for a Chinese national to leave China without CCP approval. The CCP may be allowing the migration to establish a “fifth column” in the United States. In the event the Cold War between the CCP and the U.S. becomes a Hot War, a fifth column could be vital in aiding the CCP. A fifth column is “any group of people who undermine the nation from within in cooperation with external rivals of the state.”

The cost of illegal immigrants is estimated to be:

  • Federal: $66 billion
  • State and local: $116 billion
  • Total: $182 billion

In 1966, Columbia University husband and wife left-wing professors Cloward and Piven outlined a plan to fundamentally transform the U.S. by overloading the U.S. public welfare system. This would bring societal collapse, chaos, lawlessness, and bankruptcy. Social welfare program costs would explode with the massive increase of poor immigrants.

The welfare system greatly expanded after the 1960s with the War on Poverty programs. Children born out of wedlock rates now are 77% for blacks, 57% for Hispanics, 30% for whites, and 11% for Asian Americans. In 1965, the rate for blacks was 24% and for whites 3%.

Per capita income per racial group is the direct opposite of the illegitimate birth rate. The median household income for an Asian family is $108,000, while the median for a black family is $53,000. Children born out of wedlock versus a two-parent family are more likely to live in poverty, do poorly in school, and commit crimes/go to jail.

Columbia University graduate President Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 famously said his administration would “fundamentally transform the United States of America.” Later, Michelle Obama said, “We are going to have to change our traditions, our history: we are going to have to move into a different place as a nation.”

Summary

The massive inflow of illegal immigrants and massive federal welfare spending programs are leading to chaos, bankruptcy, and societal breakdown. Congress and American society are polarized by Marxist theories of grievances.

The United States is facing existential threats from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Islamic jihadist groups. Yet only 3% of the gross national product (GNP) is spent on defense.The industrial base to modernize our aged military equipment is inadequate.

Military recruiting falls far below service needs due to the woke, Marxist, and DEI ideologies that permeate military leadership. TikTok military influencers are broadcasting videos of active military members disparaging the military.

Action

  1. Build a border wall.
  2. Change immigration laws.
  3. Invest in the military.
  4. Balance the federal budget.
  5. Ban TikTok.
