As I have been writing here, I have been asking myself why do so many illegal immigrants want to move to the United States and while discussing this with my wife, she said something in relation with the fall of Rome which really got me thinking.
It isn't about money is it? Everyone knows there is other ways to make a lot of money, especially made easier in our southern neighbors where the rule of law is weaker.
It is about the rights you have here. Even an illegal immigrant is protected and covered under our laws of freedom and liberty. The saddest part about that is that our legal system has become warped and twisted, far from what our founding fathers had intended.
Everyone wanted to be Roman citizens because Roman Citizens had rights. So, apply that to today, and why are so many people running to the Democratic countries of the world? For the protections and rights of our countries. What do they not have in the lands they left? The protections and rights we enjoy on a daily basis.
So, how do we solve the problem of mass immigration? Would the best answer be to assist these people in making their countries more like what ours used to be when originally founded? Perhaps.
What would happen if we were able to help people create a better form of government than ours based on ours and the other free countries of the world? Quite simply, they could remove the current powers that be, and replace them with true believers. Heck, our country is a perfect example of things not to do, or mistakes already made to avoid.
I do not begrudge people wanting a better life, or seeking the rights and protections we enjoy on a daily basis, sometimes even in ignorance. However I do believe the whole world would be better if they stayed home and fixed their problems at the source.
I will admit I have sympathy for those being oppressed. I am glad for those who find freedom, but breaking the laws of the country that protects you to get these freedoms is wrong. Americans earned their rights with blood and hard work. We didn't always get it right, but we learn. I suggest that illegal immigrants learn from our ways and bring them home and make all their people aware of how they too could help themselves.
Honestly, I ask these illegals to do this before they anger the American people to a level thats causes unrest which will lead to hate.
