“What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over.”

However, Weygand odiously added... “England will have its neck wrung like a chicken.”

Churchill later responded"Some chicken! Some neck!"

Guys like Weygand, the defeatists in France and even some in England never understood the moral effect of righteousness and national heritage. Likewise, I'm afraid the president and the pro-amnesty crowd neglect the powerful effect of a shared culture and history. America, like Britain in 1940, is more than an economic balance sheet, the true strength of America is its values and history, not its supply of cheap labor.

I don't have any objection to any immigrant from anywhere who wishes to subscribe to our history and values, but we don't need a large group of people who have no respect or affection for our heritage. If we aren't careful, we will lose the quality that saved England in 1940.
