When they have no history at all of Constitutional traditions like the USA, or any prior knowledge of the historic liberties enjoyed by Americans ?"
Yes, I understand your concerns, but in historical terms, today is not so different from our past.
This graph shows the percentages of foreign born Americans going back to 1850, and it has often been about what it is today.
This site updates the numbers to 2020.
So we have to start by noticing that, at least through 2020, the US foreign born population is not particularly high by historical standards.
Reverend Wright: "But if I can never aspire to understand the history and nature of the US Constitution, how could the ten of millions of foreign immigrants do so?
When they have no history at all of Constitutional traditions like the USA, or any prior knowledge of the historic liberties enjoyed by Americans ?"
As a Canadian you are not required to either study our history or take tests on the US Constitution or pledge loyalty to it and allegiance to our flag, and to the Republic for which it stands.
Lawful immigrants to the USA must and do.
What percentages of immigrants fully understand what they've studied -- and pledged themselves to -- is, of course, unknowable, however, virtually 100% of immigrants come to the USA by choice because they've heard life is better here than in their Old Countries.
So they know something about us before they even come, and chose us over other potential destinations.
Even in 1788 the USA was ethnically diverse and included several populations who spoke their own languages and/or wanted nothing to do with the larger citizenry.
Typical example is Pennsylvania Dutch Mennonites, and we could also mention French & Spanish speakers, along with native American Indians.
Even among English speakers, the historical-cultural experiences of those from, say, Ireland or Scotland were vastly different from those born in, say, England or the Netherlands, much less of women and African-Americans.
So even in the 18th century there were vast floods of immigrants from countries which knew nothing of the enlightenment ideals foundational to the Constitution's constructs.
Bottom line is, it has usually taken several generations -- three, four or more -- before people growing up in the USA begin to think of themselves more as just Americans and less as hyphenated-Americans.
This has very often included honorable service in our wartime military, which more than anything else possible, confers "rights of citizenship" on otherwise alien-feeling new immigrants.
Many can remember Shakespear's Henry V speaking to his soldiers before the battle of Agincourt in 1415:
- "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's da"
What will happen in the future is anybody's guess now.
My guess is Americans will finally get a new grip on reality and put a stop to the worst of the nonsense.
Only time will tell for sure.
Reverend Wright: "And, for example, if you look at where the demand for disarmament of citizens and opposition to the Second Amendment comes from, it started with (((Ellis Island))) and continues with their descendants."
I think, like so much else, "conservative" versus "liberal" or "progressive" depends on the population density of where you live.
People in high density areas tend to be more afraid of their neighbors, more trusting in quick police responses, and want to see neighbors disarmed, whereas those in lower density areas tend to think they need firearms to protect themselves before more distant police can arrive.
The balance of city, suburban and more rural areas is where our political center rests and shifts.
Reverend Wright: "By 1913, the Progressive and their immigrant allies had gained enough strength to establish the Federal Reserve, as well as implement an income tax and Senate direct elections.
With that, the USA lost the elements that made it unique from other Western countries, and it has followed a similar trajectory of decline ever since."
Arguably, there's some truth in what you say here.
However, the Federal Reserve did not prevent the Great Depression and the income tax did not immediately cause an explosion in the size & scope of Federal government.
Other factors were involved, some call it "progressivism" but I think more accurately named Democratic-Socialism, the roots of, for example, a Bernie Sanders socialism today.
It infected both parties but consumed the Democrats and grips them as tightly today as ever.
Republicans today remain the only party officially committed to traditional American values and governance.
Reverend Wright: "No Constitution can overcome these sorts of demographically engineered internal divisions, and protect individual rights, when so many in the Elite Institutions want to impose Tyranny, rather than protect liberty.
Some election miracle in 2024 isn’t going to change this.
Demography is density.
And the Tyrannical future of the USA under the current DC Regime was baked in the cake 150+ years ago."
I don't believe this is the worst constitutional crisis in our history, that came during the 1860s.
And again, I remind you that Republicans only won that war because we waited, patiently, for Democrats to, in effect, defeat themselves by splitting apart their own majorities and then declaring war against the United States.
That lead to two generations of conservative Republican leadership and the greatest economic expansions in world history, before Democrats were again able to reunite their traditional alliances and reclaim national leadership in 1932.
I don't see anything like that happening again, but I do think a "red wave" in 2024 could quickly restore much of what has been destroyed under insane Democrat leadership.
