You've raised so many interesting questions and problems that time and space prohibit me from giving all my conjectures. I don't pretend to have any definitive answers.
I think part of the answer is the failure of our public school education in the last generation. We have poorly educated students and poorly educated teachers teaching them. The NEA and other teachers unions are simply part of the Democratic establishment who are more interested in lobbying for better "packages" than in better teaching.

Their main concerns have been higher salaries, guaranteed tenure (regardless of any competence), smaller classes (= more teachers with no evidence of better performance), opposition to all objective tests which evaluate teacher and student ability, performance, and progress.

These trends have been going on at least since the 1960's and have resulted in PC instruction, blame America for all its past faults and failures, feel-good, no sense of personal responsibility, or accountability. And - God forbid! - no judgments about right or wrong, good or evil.

Combine this with parental indifference, abdication of personal responsibility for inculcating their children with religious and moral values, a society that encourages and glorifies sexual excess, violence, and immorality -- and you have where we now are.

This (in a very convuluted way!) gets to your questions about "open borders" and cheap labor, racists, bigots, etc.

The fact is (I believe) that a whole generation of Americans is no longer capable of discerning paramount moral, political, and economic issues in any meaningful way as they affect our society or, indeed, Western civilization.

In other words, they lack the educational background knowledge and the mental gravitas to even seriously address the problems you mentioned. I've gone on for too long but I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I agree it is a huge pack of issues to talk about. All that you mentioned are pieces to a puzzle. In the last election we saw two things attacked, conservatism and Christianity. The conservatives did not abandon the party, the GOP is moving to the left. Bush has moved it in that direction. Now it is hard to tell some Republicans from RATs. This path can take you to the border issue.

Both political parties are for opening borders, this is what will be. There is nothing we can do to stop it. It is already in the works and it will happen. When exactly? I don't know. First, our government has to deal with people out there who aren't taking this border agenda in stride. The plan for opening the border has to be peacefully accepted by the masses. As you know, it takes time to work on the minds and attitudes of the masses. This case we are talking about is being used to take the focus off the fact that this Mexican drug runner was in this country illegally, and bringing drugs along with him. This criminal could have merely had his posterior treated and returned for another drug run later. Instead, it was chosen to make a major case out of it. A case that could make decent people defend a criminal because of the rule of law. Now, a drug running illegal alien, is victimized by over zealous border guards. The fact his activity was illegal and he meant harm to Americans is forgotten.

I have always believed Waco and Ruby Ridge were more of a message sent by the Clinton administration to warn those religious militia types and Americans in general that you will be put down. I really doubt they were of any major threat to the US at that time. Think of it. The US using the military to control American citizens. Have you seen any tanks lately sitting at police departments or at the FBI?

The point I am making is that it takes years to change the minds and attitudes of the masses. People have to be brought around to acceptance of what will be the way it is in this country. This new way does not have a place for conservatism. All these new citizens granted amnesty, are uneducated and poor. The playing field has to leveled to accommodate that fact. As citizens they will demand wages Americans demand. That can be fixed, you just drive wages down and initiate a national healthcare plan, dumb down the natural citizens, get them to group think with facts that you supply to them and they willingly accept. Another way to control the situation is to destroy the National identity of America, just keep our culture under constant attack as though we are selfish for being proud Americans. No, this is not a conspiracy. It is in plain sight. Do you see anyone in our government hiding the fact they want open borders?

Well, I have run on haven't I? Others may read this and will attack me for being nuts. All I have done here is take "things" that have happened, or are happening, and try to make sense of it. It is conjecture on my part not the doctrine I wish. But...I like discussion and you are very open to it!
