The Immigration Problem

Looking at the history of illegal immigration there have been several groups that have exploited the United States lack of enforcing immigration laws.  The unlawful entry of aliens into the United States is one of the most serious problems confronting our country today.  Since World War ll the issue of illegal entry has increased tremendously.  It is reported that there are 12.5 million aliens in the United States in an unlawful status.  This number could be higher.

One of the problems with our immigration policy is the absence of any policy regarding foreigners regarding their activities that are directed at the overthrowing of our government.  Even as far back as the 1950’s when the concern was with Communist arrested but released due to the inadequate provisions for deporting them, we have the same problem today.  We have those who openly advocate the overthrow of our government and are permitted to carry out their activities under our Constitution.

Many of the refugees and illegal immigrants today are ideologically hostile to Western Christian values upon which this country was founded.  In the first few decades of the twentieth century, the number of immigrants coming to this country brought with them ideologies that were hostile to our form of government and to capitalism. Most of these individuals joined with the Democratic Party.  Before the open-door policy of immigration, the Democratic Party was made up of rural Protestant Southerners and the urban Catholics of the North, who stood for the principles of Western Christian civilization.  These two groups had little in common politically except the opposition to the Republican Party.  By the middle of the twentieth century, the Democratic Party had been hijacked by the socialist liberals and communist from Eastern Europe.  Today the Democratic leadership has no problem in identifying themselves with progressive socialism which is no more than the ideology of communism.  It was the lack of strong immigration laws and the influx of illegal aliens in the first part of the twentieth century in which a mostly non-Christian influence changed the Democratic Party.

Before a large number of Eastern European immigrants were brought into this country the population of the United States was evenly divided between the Republicans and Democratic parties.  The control of the Democratic Party was soon taken over by a well-organized minority.  The states with the most significant number of immigrants from Eastern Europe are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio, California, and Michigan.  These are the same states that have a significant impact on every election. The immigration policies or lack thereof changed the political ideology of our country.  The fundamentals of freedom and liberty have been changed throughout the past seventy years due to weak immigration policies.

Why am I concerned about immigration policies?  The ideology of socialism in this country is a result of weak immigration policies.  It is these same weak immigration policies that are being used by Muslim refugees and immigrants that is changing our country toward Islam.

In 2028, Islam will be the largest religion with 2.2 billion believers. It is projected that by 2028 there will be 8 billion plus people on earth and over one fourth will be Muslims.  As a Christian, this concerns me.  In every country controlled by Muslims Christians are being put to death daily.

Just as the Eastern European’s influenced the Democratic party towards socialism, the Muslims are moving the Democratic party towards Islam.  Muslims are winning elections at the federal, state and local level with the help of the Democratic party.

What makes the Democrats and Muslims strange bedfellows are Muslims, for the most part, are conservative and do not support some of the policies of the Democrats.  What appeals to the Muslims is the Democratic Party has been mostly pro-immigration and promotes social welfare policies designed to help immigrants.  Along with pro-immigration, the Democrats have become the party of anti-Israel.

The Democratic party has a Deputy Chairman that has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, is a declared anti-Semitic, has connections with jihadist groups waging terrorism on the West.  This Muslim congressman received endorsements as the top candidate to assume of the helm of the DNC – support that includes the backing of former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and former Louisiana House of Representatives member David Duke (D) long time KKK member.

No, I have not forgotten how the liberal left hijacked the Republican Party.  In the 1960’s there were liberal Democrats that we're seeing the failed policies of the left and became Republican.  These are the neoconservatives of today’s Republican party.

Many neoconservatives had been Jewish intellectuals in New York City during the 1930s. They were on the political left, but strongly opposed Stalinism and some were Trotskyists. During the Cold War, they continued to oppose Stalinism and to endorse democracy. The vast majority became liberal Democrats. 

Paul Gottfried said this of the neocons,

What makes neocons most dangerous are not their isolated ghetto hang-ups, like hating Germans and Southern whites and calling everyone and his cousin an anti-Semite, but the leftist revolutionary fury they express. Goldberg Is Not the Worst" by Paul Gottfried. LewRockwell.com, 20 March 2003.

These neocons are no more than “conservative socialist” who took over the hierarchy of the Republican Party.  The conservative Republican has been left out in the cold.  Every election there is the talk of electing conservative legislators to Congress and regain control of the Republican Party.  It will never happen.  Why, you ask, because the GOP hierarchy buys off 90 percent of the legislators that we send. Who and what is this GOP hierarchy? It is the vast network of elite intellectuals, bankers, and corporate leaders throughout America that make up the “neoconservative establishment.”

The intellectual sector of this hierarchy is comprised of prominent scholars and pundits such as William Kristol, Robert Kagan, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Norman Podhoretz, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and the late Charles Krauthammer.   Their ideology is supported by prestigious organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Hudson Institute, and the Foreign Policy Initiative – scholarly magazines such as Foreign Affairs, Commentary, Public Interest, and The Weekly Standard.

Completing the hierarchies are the major bankers of the Federal Reserve system and the myriad of corporate moguls throughout the nation. The members of this GOP hierarchy call themselves “neoconservative” because it makes it easier for them to sell massive patriotism to the American people. Unfortunately, allegiance to the founding principles of America is not in their lexicon, they are at heart socialist.

The scholars, pundits, bankers, moguls, and institute heads of this hierarchy wield enormous power, both ideologically and financially – enough so to buy off most of the incoming patriotic congressmen. Such newcomers to Washington adopt the GOP hierarchy’s “pseudo-conservatism” soon after their arrival in the capital because they know if they don’t vote in step with neo-conservatism, they will receive no financial support for re-election from the party and its influential hierarchy.  That is one reason they hate President Trump.  He did not need their approval.

The reality is that the neocons could not win a single precinct in the United States. Yet, incoming conservatives don’t stay conservative; they are bought off.  What is impressive is that both Republicans and Democrats still line up to gain neocon support or at least neocon acceptance.

One reason for this paradox is the degree of dominance that the neoconservatives have established in the national news media – as op-ed writers and TV commentators – and the neocon ties to the Israel Lobby that is famous for showering contributions on favored politicians and on the opponents of those not approved.  The problem with the neocons is their hatred for President Trump is how they pulled liberals and even some progressives into the neocon strategies for war and more war, mainly by exploiting the Left’s disgust with President Trump.

Wonder why there is such a hatred for Russia?  Look to the neocons.  People who would typically favor international cooperation toward a peaceful resolution of conflicts have joined the neocons in ratcheting up global tensions and making progress toward peace far more difficult.

The provocative “Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act,” which imposes sanctions on Russia, Iran, and North Korea while tying President Trump’s hands in removing those penalties, passed the Congress without single Democrat voting no.

The only dissenting votes came from three Republican House members – Justin Amash of Michigan, Jimmy Duncan of Tennessee, and Thomas Massie of Kentucky – and from Republican Rand Paul of Kentucky and Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont in the Senate.

In other words, every Democrat present for the vote adopted the neocon position of escalating tensions with Russia and Iran. The new sanctions appear to close off hopes for peace with Russia and may push us closer to war with Iran.

There needs to be a change in our immigration policy to protect the interest of the American people from the failed policies of the progressive socialist.
