What do YOU call them if not "illegals"?
People trying to provide a better life to their families?
Damn them all to hell for their self-centered greed.
Well, don't take a holier than thou attitude.
Prior to 1965 we had open borders with Mexico and Canada.
But when your boy LBJ made the US a welfare state the powers-that-be were forced to expel the Mexicans because they can not vote in US elections.
.
Well we don't now and that's a good thing.
When this illegal problem came to light studies were done to predict the effect of illegal immigration and population.
These studies concluded that somewhere around 2050, there would no longer be a majority racial demographic in the US. Quite frankly I think that's bunk because the overall population of blacks has been stagnant for some time.
However, for the sake of clarity, let us stipulate the studies are still valid.
Now, in the course of human history any nation or territory absent of a racial or cultural majority had been for the most part at war with itself . Unless of course there existed in said states or territories a ruling party or individual with an iron fist.
Examples.....Iraq. That nation has three distinct tribes. Shites, Sunnis and Kurds. Each had it's own unmarked area of the nation. In each case the Kurds were the targets of the equally powerful and influential Sunnis and Shiites. The Hussein regime as do all totalitarian leaders, need a scapegoat in order to deflect the failures of government away from itself. This system worked as long as the iron fisted ruler was in place. Once gone(Hussein) the nation fell into chaos with tribal infighting for control of the country.
The former Yugoslavia Republic....Here we had Muslims, Croats and Orthodox Serbs and Bosnian Serbs all living in the same country but very far apart but held together by a totalitarian government
When a coalition government was formed in the now broken up nation( Bosnia-Herzegovina in this case) it included all of these groups. Soon after the war broke out. The Bosnian Serbs who had a slight majority population led by Slobodan Milosovic and enjoyed more wealth began with ethnic cleansing of their country. Once again tribal factions fought among themselves for control of a nation. Eventually the former Yugoslavia has become 5 fragmented countries with relatively homogenous populations.
The above mentioned Bosnia, with Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro.
The point is when a nation has no cultural or racial majority inevitably tribal cliques form and these factions eventually will find they cannot live together in peace. They fight for control of government, wealth and natural resources. Most of all they fight to become the dominant culture.
Human beings are inherently shit heads. We may tolerate others of different cultures but we all wish to control our surroundings.
Some of us claim to be more enlightened and those people try to force their idea of societal harmony on the rest of us.
Throughout the history of man kind, this has never worked. Eventually the system breaks down and fighting ensues. What ends up being the case is a nation of very pissed off people that cannot govern themselves.
I do not intend to approve of this. I simply state an understanding of it.
Flame away.
