You either: (1) obviously don't live in a border state, or (2) live in a border state, but in some kind of cloistered area well away from the barbarian invasion. Ask anyone in southern California, say Santa Ana, whether your utopian description of "the family next door" bears any resemblance to their own experience.
"People are noticing that the culture of the US is undergoing radical change, there seem to be huge numbers of immigrants entering the country at a rate far higher than anyone remembers,..."
And precisely the problem. Such numbers preclude any meaningful assimilation, and do nothing to prevent the headlong rush to grab every freebie available in America to which they are certainly not entitled.
I believe in strongly defending American sovereignty and in the preservation of American culture, customs, traditions and language. These are the values of loyal American conservatives. They are not the values of FR's pro-illegal alien contingent.
Which is why I have no use for them. None.
Don't misunderstand me. I do live in a border state, and I do know both legal and illegal immigrants. I've worked and lived in Mexico and points further south.
If you've read my other posts, you'll know that I favor securing the border. I'm tired of the open sieve that is our border. The patriots have shown that it can be done, really we all know it can be done. I want to put an end to the free-for-all on the border. Mexico doesn't open her border to endless immigration from further south, and we shouldn't either.
My remarks about the culture, though, were based on another issue. Europe is dying, because they no longer believe in life, they are no longer reproducing themselves, and they are replacing themselves with muslims who hate what they stand for.
Compared to that, we are fortunate.
But if you take away a million births a year, that aren't being born, and replace them with a million foreigners, you are going to see a cultural shift. The cultural shift is real. You evidently don't like it, and you shouldn't.
But while the open border is a big part of the problem, the million missing Americans is the other part of the problem. That is a direct result of the death cult. If you are an FR conservative, you aren't part of the problem. You no doubt believe in life, and have or will raise a family with the same values.
Our friends across the aisle, however, do not believe in life, and they are destroying their young. And they are being replaced by foreigners.
So its a two part problem. Secure the borders. And help America to regain its confidence in the principles that it was founded on. A culturally confident country is a country that will reproduce itself, not merely its DNA, but its spiritual DNA, which are its principles.
