When a nation of free peoples are threatened by "invasion", and make no mistake-unknown persons, illegals crossing the borders, is a defacto "invasion", it is incumbent on the citizenry to defend its homeland. It is very clear the government is unable, unwilling or incapable of securing the borders. In light of world events, such inability is borderline treason. This nation, and her people, must be safe and secure from unknowns who walk among us.

Or, as signed by fifty-five men way back in 1776:

...Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Ironic, isn't it.

Should men from 1776 appear upon our soil and invoke a creed of that era, seek to dispel a government they'd fairly see as unresponsive to its citizens, and their security, they'd be hounded and arrested as treasonous and anti-government revolutionaries.

What would the Class of 1776 think of the current crop of government apparatchiks.
