‘Will and Ariel Durant wrote in their eleven-volume Story of Civilization, Volume 3: “If Rome had not engulfed so many men of alien blood in so brief a time, if she had passed all these newcomers through her schools instead of her slums,…if she had occasionally closed her gates to let assimilation catch up with infiltration, she might have gained new racial and literary vitality from the infusion, and might have remained a Roman Rome, the voice and citadel of the West.”
However, they did not do so, and the great Roman Empire crumbled. Rome was no longer Roman because of lack of assimilation, and America and many of the free nations are doing what Durant warned of Rome’s fall. Struck giddy with feel-goodism, we have opened our gates for tribes of uneducated, uncultured, and often uncouth peoples that are quickly transforming America into another nation. America is no longer American. We are seeing the decline and fall of the American Republic!
Many free nations are making the same mistake as massive hordes of emigrants with alien cultures, languages, religions, etc., are swamping and overwhelming European populations. England is no longer English, France is no longer French, and Germany is no longer German.
Muslim leaders generally have not tried to educate their people in civilized behavior. If they want to live among decent, civilized people, they should discard the Arabian Desert mentality. They should dress normally, lighten up, and realize that most of us are not going to agree with their theology or seek to emulate the sayings and actions of “the prophet.”
We have a culture and theology of our own, thank you.
It is nonsense to promote policies that are dangerous, detrimental, and destructive to one’s homeland. There is no validity in the arguments used by liberals/progressives in this debate. Our primary interest must not be to promote a social policy. Helping relieve the social and economic problems of another nation is not relevant. Nor is it desirable or in our best interest to appease and serve an elite group of U.S. businesspeople. Nor do we make policy decisions to make whiners feel good. What is best for our nation must be the criterion.
U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Jordan was a black liberal Democrat who headed the Jordan Commission in 1995. Although a liberal, she said, “Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave.” Can any honest, sane person disagree with that?
Evidently, Biden and what’s-her-name Harris and most Democrats disagree since they have installed metaphorical signs at the southern border declaring, “Welcome to America, the land of endless freebies thanks to Democrats and RINOs. Join the line to the left.”
And the line is endless.
America has more immigrants than any other country in the world. Today, “More than 40 million people living in the U.S. were born in another country, accounting for about one-fifth of the world’s migrants.” We are the most concerned, compassionate, and careless nation on earth. All other nations are more careful about who comes and goes and who stays than America is.
Pew Research Center reported, “more than 1 million immigrants arrive in the U.S. each year.” What is shocking in that report is more people came from China (149,000) than any other nation in 2018! Mexico sent us her best 120,000 people. No one knows how many illegal aliens are coming via the Biden Expressway at the southern border.
We accept a million legal immigrates each year—a number that should be reduced to zero for five years. If migrant workers are needed, then temporary worker cards can be awarded using strict supervision. When the time has expired, each case can be evaluated, and if workers are still needed, then the cards can be renewed. Everyone wins since the necessary laborers are found; poor foreign workers have temporary jobs; money is sent home; etc.
We must admit that if large numbers of immigrants, legal or illegal, enter the U.S., it will relieve some of the other nations’ social and economic problems, but what will it do to America’s problems? By what twisted logic are U.S. citizens expected to forfeit their hard-earned money to provide for foreigners, especially those foreigners who are criminals?
Should U.S. taxpayers be expected to finance millions of uneducated, unskilled, and often un-American illegal immigrants? I can defend the position that we should not finance legal immigrants. The Biden administration’s legalization of at least eleven million illegal aliens (some say it is more than 20 million) will destroy a once-great nation. By stopping all immigration for five years and plugging the hole in our borders, we would permit “assimilation [to] catch up with infiltration.”
While many of the aliens are decent, hardworking people, many are not. I think this tragic immigration policy will create political, financial, and cultural anarchy. For sure, it is changing America.
The school system, fire protection, police protection, etc., generate vast expenses that the taxpayers pay; but poorly educated immigrants, legal or illegal, do not pay their share. They are tax consumers receiving in services far more than they pay in taxes. That means other taxpayers must “carry” on their backs the non-payers.
In times past, most immigrants melted into the pot, but not today. They have no desire to assimilate and become Americans. Harvard immigration expert George J. Borjas declared, “In fact, the evidence suggests that there has not been any economic assimilation for the cohorts that entered the country in the 1990s.” Illegal aliens get lost in a massive group of their own kind and don’t need to melt into the pot. They sit, soak, and sour in the salad bowl.
We are told that the U.S. economy depends upon foreign workers; however, Borjas reveals that legal and illegal immigrants in the labor market produce $1.6 trillion per year; however, 97.8% of that money goes to the illegal workers, and only “2.2% accrues to native-born Americans.” Borjas suggests that there is more cost to America than financial benefit.
The pro-immigration people tell us that immigrants don’t take jobs; they make jobs and pay taxes. However, while that is true in some individual cases, it is not true in the aggregate. Borjas estimates that the immigrants’ cash welfare benefits alone cost about $1 billion more than is paid by them in taxes each year.
Illegal immigrants take jobs at lower wages, thereby subsidizing the American businesses that hire them illegally. If laws were enforced against hiring illegals, Americans and legal workers would be the source from which businesses hire their workers, paying them the going wage and benefits. High-paid workers “willing to work hard” are often laid off because illegal immigrants are willing to work just as hard for much less money. Whom do you think a business owner is going to hire under those conditions?
We are told that immigrants are needed as agricultural workers—work that Americans will not do. Still, a more accurate statement is that they take jobs that Americans refuse to accept at greatly reduced wages! Furthermore, when an American gets a job, he must be paid the minimum wage with all required benefits. No wonder businessmen prefer to hire illegal aliens. When times get tough, Americans will work at any job to put food on the table. Don’t you feel good knowing that foreigners are working at very low wages to make more profit for those agribusinesses.
There are many negative results from illegal immigration: bankrupt hospitals, burgeoning schools, astronomical welfare funds, soaring crimes, lower wages, fewer jobs for legal Americans, and invasion of violent gangs even into northern cities.
American businessman gets cheap illegal labor; the illegal immigrant gets low wages but far more than possible in Mexico; and he or she often sits, soaks, and sours in America’s salad bowl–while we finance it all!’http://donboys.cstnews.com/thanks-to-biden-we-will-see-the-decline-and-fall-of-the-american-republic
What will they require next for us to travel freely?
When a political party calls itself the ‘Conservative Party’ such as the one in the UK says they are doesn’t mean they really are. This is the same thing we in Australia are facing, fake conservatives. Now, personally, I wouldn’t do what this councillor did but he got his point across! The Greens and Labour in the UK are simply puppets of the Left and the CCP to which the so-called Conservative Party seems to be seeking to join as soon as possible. I say this for otherwise they would not have suspended Mr. Deacon for his Facebook post.
‘Mark Deacon, a conservative councillor in the UK, has been suspended from his role for posting an image of him wearing a dress in protest of the idea of a 6PM curfew on men following the murder of Sarah Everard. The councillor faced backlash for being “insensitive” to violence against women.
On Sunday, Deacon posted a picture of himself in a long black wig and floral pink dress. He said he would dress like that if a 6PM curfew against men was imposed.
“If the Green Party and some Labour party politicians get their way and impose this ridiculous 6pm curfew on men, then I’m going to wear my dress more often,” Deacon posted on Facebook alongside a photo of himself dressed as a woman.
He later deleted the post, caved, and offered an apology. However, Twitter user @Miss-Eastgate had already shared a screenshot, writing, “Plymouth City Council, really?”
The Conservative Party suspended Deacon, with the Conservative Group leader Nick Kelly confirming that an investigation will start “as soon as possible.”’https://reclaimthenet.org/conservative-councillor-suspended-for-post-dressed-as-a-woman/

Yes, he doesn’t look good in the dress but I get the point don’t you?
Sleepy Joe Biden shuffles like an old old man! The media would be all over this if this was a conservative.
Is the Left truly happy with this man that ought to be in an old folks home? What a disgrace he is to a once proud nation and it will only get worse in the next four years.
2Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Sadly, the following is not unique within the SBC only but something is terribly wrong that these things continue to occur! As the Lord Jesus said several times ‘have ye not read’ seems to apply to the following churches!
‘A Southern Baptist Convention church affiliated with the Tennessee Baptist Convention and the Sevier County Association of Baptists is one of four churches that have been disfellowshipped by the SBC Executive Committee.
Antioch Baptist Church in Sevierville was dropped for employing a pastor who confessed to two counts of statutory rape. Also disfellowshiped for affirming homosexuality were Towne View Baptist Church in Kennesaw, Ga., and St. Matthews Baptist Church, Louisville, Ky. West Side Baptist Church in Sharpsville, Pa., was disfellowshiped for employing as its pastor a registered sex offender.
The EC decisions came during an executive session following the recommendations of the SBC Credentials Committee. The decisions were announced in a plenary session at the close of its two-day meeting in Nashville on Feb. 23.
Following the SBC action, Pastor Randy Leming Jr., of Antioch Baptist Church, Sevierville, since 2014, announced his resignation on Sunday, Feb. 28. Leming declined to provide a statement to the Baptist and Reflector.
Leming pleaded guilty in 1998 to two counts of statutory rape of a minor when he served as pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church in Sevier County. The offenses occurred in May and June of 1994, when he was 31. He lost his appeal of the concurrent 18-month sentences he deemed harsh. (‘According to a 1998 decision in a Tennessee appeals court, Leming was 31 and a pastor at Shiloh Baptist Church in Sevier County in 1994 when he performed oral sex on a 16-year-old victim on two occasions. Shiloh Baptist is within six miles of the Antioch church.’ https://julieroys.com/abuser-resigns-pastor-church-ousted-southern-baptist/?mc_cid=fb1c3d299d&mc_eid=b13d34ad49)
The SBC repurposed the Credentials Committee in 2019 to make inquiries and recommendations for action regarding instances of sexual abuse, racism or other issues that call into question a church’s relationship with the SBC.
“We take no pleasure in recommending that a church is not in friendly cooperation with the convention,” Credentials Committee chairman Mike Lawson told Baptist Press. “We would like nothing more than for all our churches to be in harmony on such vital issues. But when the available information shows clearly that we are not, it is necessary to take action.
“We are grieved, but we believe it was the right decision to recommend and will continue to pray for all involved,” Lawson said.
The Tennessee Baptist Mission Board was not informed of the SBC’s decision to disfellowship Antioch Baptist Church until after the decision was reported by The Tennessean on Feb. 23, according to Randy C. Davis, president and executive director of the TBMB.
“Now that this has been brought to our attention, we will begin the process to better understand the circumstances surrounding Antioch Baptist Church’s situation,” Davis said. “The SBC Executive Committee had a full year to work through its process and to better understand the situation. It is important that Tennessee Baptists also understand the complexities.”’https://baptistandreflector.org/sevierville-pastor-resigns-after-sbc-disfellowships-church/?mc_cid=fb1c3d299d&mc_eid=b13d34ad49
The world is not only anti-God but is just plain crazy! The following gives forth some of this craziness including math being racist. Set yourself down with a cuppa and enjoy!
Would the CCP lie? What a silly question!
‘The timeline of the COVID-19 outbreak published by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been questioned by experts after an official claimed on March 5 that many executives in his company took an experimental CCP virus vaccine in March 2020.
Yu Qingming, party secretary and CEO of Sinopharm Group Co., Ltd. (Sinopharm) claimed that executives and senior leaders of China National Pharmaceutical Group (CNPG), the parent company of Sinopharm, had received the vaccines developed by the group as early as March 2020.
Sinopharm is a Chinese state-owned pharmaceutical company.
Yu also claimed that the antibody level remains high after one year.
His statement is completely incompatible with the CCP’s previous propaganda about the source of the virus and the development of vaccines.’ https://www.theepochtimes.com/chinas-covid-19-timeline-questioned-after-official-claims-to-be-vaccinated-in-march-2020_3731984.html
How many freedoms must we surrender for the supposed health and safety of the public? Have the governments in the West gone completely crazy or are they just reading the rules from the CCP lawless book? This video is from Melbourne, Australia where dictator Dan Andrews will probably be re-elected in two years because those who do not cherish the freedoms we had before the China virus will vote him and his communist party back into office! What does CHINA have waiting for us this year?
‘David Asher, the former lead investigator into the state department’s investigation into the origins of the coronavirus, believes the virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and was the result of an accident by the Chinese military, which was researching a bioweapon at the time.
U.S. intelligence agencies have let it be known that they have a pretty good handle on the coronavirus’s origin and they believe the lab-accident theory is viable, although “unlikely.” Despite the WHO ordering its researchers not to investigate that angle any further, it seems pretty clear that the U.S. is treading very carefully so as not to upset China too much.’https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2021/03/13/former-lead-investigator-into-coronavirus-origin-thinks-it-may-have-been-a-bioweapons-research-accident-n1432281?utm_source=pjmedia&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&newsletterad=&bcid=08b5a1e2f2263b83e918fb56d7a12a3e&recip=26169367
