You simply don't care if they transform us into a corrupt nation like Mexico. I get the idea of what you're saying.
What a future. Not one any of our founders would of wanted. I'm simply saying is that they don't believe in our culture or beliefs of human freedom.
Maybe a few do but overall they're a much more socialist people.
Dear Matthew: There is a way to prevent this dilution and corruption, but I am going to ask you to be strong about this, and not only take refuge in enforcing Constitutional principles central to America's history and future, but also to have ABSOLUTE FAITH that ALL PEOPLE want these same principles and strength. They just don't know how to access it, that is why they flock here. Matthew you must see and believe that Constitutional laws merely make statutory for the US what are already natural laws universal to all human beings. That is why America is so strong, we have both the best of Christian laws and heritage and the best of Constitutional and natural laws being enforced in our country, through education and culture. No other country in the world has this foundation of both church and state being independent institutions and yet being free to partner where the two laws agree. And yes, I agree with you we stand to lose these very foundations if we fail to teach people how to live by them and sustain them. The President is one of the worst example of how not to follow the Constitution, but to assume you need to bypass it to get things done. How sad, but maybe this is necessary to teach by example and comparison, so we learn the difference.
In truth, we get things done successfully by FOLLOWING the same process in the Constitution for govt as we do in our relations with others and with whole institutions and society. We exercise and respect free will and free speech; we petition one another to redress grievances and resolve conflicts in a system of democratic due process. We respect the right to assemble and associate freely, and if something threatens the equal peace and justice and consent of an individual or group, we respond by protest or petition to fix it.
Matthew, these are Natural laws, that all people are under and live by. And the US Constitution happens to put these in writing where people can be taught this system.
So what is missing is the lack of civics education to teach people to manage their own power and resources using the same checks and balances between the different roles we may play.
Ralph Nader believes in civics education. President Obama believes in civil rights education.
We just need to quit fearing that we need to abuse the system to bully another group before they bully us. that is the scarcity mentality, fearing we cannot have enough resources. But in truth everyone can have equal knowledge of the laws, and generate enough to sustain themselves without competing with someone else.
We need to set this up in an orderly fashion, and not have a school full of failing or disruptive students, crashing the system that other people have paid and invested resources and effort to build to run self-sufficiently. We cannot abuse the system to support unsustainable burdens while people learn the hard way who are coming up from behind on the learning curve.
As for poor Blacks and Latinos and also poor whites who are also on the welfare rolls,
so many people are clearly behind in the financial and political learning process,
including first time voters who have never had the thrill of feeling represented by ANYONE in their lives so of course Obama represents something emotional that others have become jaded about who know there is a lot more work involved than just voting someone in.
Instead of using prisons/detention center and even mental health facilities and housing as warehouses for all the people needing social help to become independent, we need to organize the given resources we have, public housing to prison and university/medical programs, to set up a tiered system of registering people under sponsoring schools to work their way up from education to independence, including work-study programs to track "credits" people may owe for criminal violations or for illegal status or employment.
This can be run by voluntary institutions or by mandatory restitution owed through govt, or probably a mix of schools and churches/businesses with govt handling security and military.
We can establish military bases, prisons and teaching hospitals along the border, and serve populations while re-investing restitution for past violations into developing campus communities where people can voluntarily receive or provide services without violating laws.
We can do this, but we need to work together, not compete to bully each other politically.
We will need the very best of the business leaders, govt leaders, and church/volunteers from the community, the strengths of both the conservative and the liberal activists, to make such a collaboration work, between the different institutions from private and public.
So please Matthew, take the values you hold most dear about America, our Constitution and all the things that make our country great, and recognize there is a way we can structure an educational and mentorship system that RESPECTS the laws and principles without compromise, but also opens the door for law-abiding citizens to work their way up. it does NOT have to be this wild lawless chaos we see happening now for lack of enforcement.
Please do not let that scare you Matthew, but motivate you to work with all the parties trying to address this. The Tea Party, the Occupy, the Latino and anti-trafficking coalitions. The Christian groups and the secular humanist peace and justice groups, all seeking solutions to stop the violence and corruption escalating and compounding immigration/border issues.
By standing together on the Constitutional values that everyone wants as a human being, we can restore respect for our humanity and our heritage, without compromising either one.
Take care Matthew,
please pray and meditate on this, and do not give in to fears
and stress, but continue to work through all that to find the
focus and answers that give you peace without any negative interference.
When you find peace of mind, you can work with anyone or any group
you need to in order to put together solid solutions that everyone supports across the board.
These principles that God gave America will prevail.
We must let those guide the order and the reforms, and the chaos and abuses will stop
as more people come together to enforce laws instead of playing games with them.
I hope this helps you focus,
America needs that focus where we can unite and not divide into chaos.
Love,
Emily
