In the case of the border, the government refuses to do two things to legitimate a Democratic Government. One is to insure internal order or domestic tranquility, to quote a famous document, and the other is to protect us from a foreign threat.

So, by not obeying the law, by permitting all of this to occur, the government puts its own legitimacy at stake. What we then have is an erosion of legitimacy and an erosion of citizenship. And with it we have an erosion of the confidence of the people in their government.

What we have here, is a government that no longer needs voters as it's policies are formed by foreign influence. Citizens will wake too late to find their voice has been sold, and there's not a damn thing they can do about... as with the shell game, slight of hand (politics and the media), distracted our eyes from our treasure ... the preservation of the constitution.

This report does sum up the situation in the country. I have believed our government officials have not been doing their jobs for along time now. This has always left me with some questions. Is there any recourse other than electing new officials? If things would actually deteriorate to the point where people actually immigrate from the U.S., where would they go?
