There are two nations within our borders. There is The United States of America and there is Democratland. The citizens of Democratland take money from the citizens of The United States. One of the citizens of Democratland is now the President of The United States. Another citizen of Democratland is head of The United States Senate.
There are actually multiple sovereign entities within the geographic borders of North America. Most of them were here before the formation of the current United States of America.
Perhaps one or two of them would be viable alternatives two the current federal government.
Hmmmmm.
And when they run low on destitute, uneducated, unskilled, diseased people, they just import more to use as a political bludgeon.
