The 1984 film "Red Dawn" was prophetic in a way many might have missed. Namely that the USA would be infiltrated by Communist illegals through its borders. Take a look at a scene from "Red Dawn" and a scene of the sad reality of the border right now. The only thing "Red Dawn" did not envision was that a CORRUPT American government would be the ones to open the door at the border to allow Communist infiltrators to flood in.
I’m two years away from being involved in the border dynamics but my understanding is the vast majority crossing are Central Americans with a fair share of Haitians, Africans and Chinese, but the vast majority still being 5’2” Indians from Central Am. Mexicans are already here en masse…no doubt 50-70 million illegals have crossed.
But if we really want to go back to the absurd beginning, it's Plyler v. Doe. I recall driving home from work and I heard the guy say “the Supreme Court just decided that illegal aliens have a right to go to school in the US!”.
Bout ran off the road. Say whut? Illegal aliens have a right to our tax dollars? Are they insane?
That was decades ago in Arizona. The suit was brought in Los Angeles. Back then, the numbers were 10 times lower then they are now. The estimate was that nationwide, there were 1.6M illegals. That was a tiny fraction of the population, so I'm sure the SCOTUS thought “no biggie”, it was a small problem and we can dance around it a bit.
Wrong. It started the Invasion full scale.
So I agree the gang of guilties is large, but there have been a few major catalysts for this. Of equal import was the 1986 amnesty, which was supposed to only include the aforementioned 1.6M, but turned out to be 3M, and they brought in their entire families, so it turned into 10M rapidly. The rest is history: the judicially and electorally approved colonization of the US by a hostile foreign populace.
As opposed to say, the first freshman class at CSULB, for example:
I saw Red Dawn in a little theater on Martha’s Vineyard just after its release. While I was cheering the wolverines, the rest of the audience sat in stunned silence.
The best line from the movie is said by Harry Dean Stanton who was being held as a prisoner in a drive in movie theater, “Avenge me!”
I LOVE this movie. Must have watched it 10-20 times! (1984)
Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey, Powers Boothe.
The modern remake isn’t bad either. (2012)
That was Ben Johnson wasn’t it?
Yep.
