Just like in most countries, for us the biggest threat isn’t ACROSS the borders, but WITHIN them. Leftists - THEY are the biggest threat to any nation.

Not quite a real quote, but true nonetheless:

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.) Roman Statesman, Philosopher and Orator

Source:
Attributed to a speech in the Roman Senate in 58 BC as “Recorded by Sallust” in the fictional novel ‘A Pillar of Iron,’ by Taylor Caldwell (1983), ch. 5. The quotation bears resemblance to Cicero’s Second Oration against Cataline. [2.11]
