heh-heh yuh, thanks for that! I mean no offense: I see America and how she is perceived from the outside, and I comment.

I am a FRiend of America, for the record. And when America acts silly or says stupid things from time to time, I might comment. But I've been trying to shut my commentary down on this thread because it is taking it down a path that the thread owner does not want.

I agree that you have a HUGE problem in America with illegal homeland invasion.

America also has an issue with the Monroe Doctrine, by which you would one day assimilate both Canada and Mexico. (at least, that is how Monroe Doctrine is taught in Canada anyrate).

Implement the Monroe Doctrine and, in my view, America is screwed.

Personally, I enjoy hearing from outside the US and how we are perceived. I enjoy a good discussion. So...coming from outside the US (New Zealand), how do you suggest we go about convincing our Senators to do what the American people want? Didn't we put them in there to represent us?

its about time. someone finally brought it up: the Monroe Doctrine. it's quite applicable to our present dilemma.

Diehard. ive been reading the thread & your recent statement on the Doctrine is off base. assimilating all of North America into one unit is not inherent in Monroe's ideology.the doctrine basically is "essentially, the United States was informing the powers of the Old World that the American continents were no longer open to European colonization, and that any effort to extend European political influence into the New World would be considered by the United States "as dangerous to our peace and safety." The United States would not interfere in European wars or internal affairs, and expected Europe to stay out of American affairs."

of course, that latter part is not followed. ie witness WW2.
however the Doctrine needs to be revamped for our present distress. illegal immigration is parallel to biological continental invasion via a nonnative invasive species that super competes with native species.

Monroe's idea needs be applied beyond it's original intent in intercontinental relations to intracontinental relations with our neighbors. no nation or territory on the American continent may invade, undermine, interfere et al with the United States of America. once fully realized, this should be made into a Constitutional Amendment.
