Thank you for your thoughtful reply… A lot of wisdom in what you post.
Here’s some uncomfortable truth for the both of us. America is changing… It’s always been changing… But the changes now are evident and unfortunately drastic. The cultural changes at times make me weep and at times make me vomit and always keep me on my knees…
... however, the demographic changes are building every year… And the unfortunate truth is we can’t stop it. I am 63 years old and the country that I knew growing up is long gone… It will never return. The upswell of disenfranchised people from South and Central America will only increase… And I I am afraid that the current political climate simply does not have the backbone nor the foresight to stop or even much slowdown the changes that lay ahead Iof us.
I’ll be dead soon… Anf America will continue to change… We know that’s the truth. We can slow it down… We can quote Go to war“… But I doubt highly of that will happen.
… The vast majority of Americans are too complacent… Two “comfortable“… I love watching so many of the Internet “tough guys“ that are on conservative blogs… Talking about their AR 15 and how they can’t wait to mix it up with such and such political opponent or such and such demographic minority… Makes me sad.
Are problem does not lie in south America or central America or Mexico… The enemy that we face is in Washington DC… very little back bone… Mostly lawyers… Not much action. It has been so greatly refreshing to watch President Trump take one after the other to the woodshed. Men of action… Men of valor of God And country… Where have you gone.
I will continue to pray and I know that my heavenly father has all of this in his control… Hey see readies the return of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Best to you always.
I continue to do the same. I prayed for forgiveness and for the United States to have another chance to move toward a righteous existence.
That seems to have happened.
The United States, as with all countries, is always changing. We seem to be at a point where we maintain a constitutional republic, or regress into a kleptocracy of elites and masses of poor people, like much of the rest of the world.
God does not expect us to be passive actors in this drama. We are to love our neighbors and our enemies, but that does not mean that we destroy ourselves and our country in our charity.
I believe we can be more effective as a constitutional republic.
Scripture also says that we should care for our own needy ahead of others.
Our government is supposed to create a system of justice for our welfare. That is clearly a Christian concept. Protecting our borders fits under that concept.
I understand your concern. But demographic changes are not destiny. The United States is conceptually colorblind. Human nature is not black, white, yellow or brown. The concepts the United States is built on do not rely on color.
Given time, we can assimilate our immigrants, but our capacity to do so is not infinite.
