How a lack of resolve, political correctness and a desire for votes is throwing the future of America into a 3rd World nightmare
As the first decade of the 21st century has drawn to a close, the United States is in a lot of trouble, the kind of trouble that is enveloping the 3rd World: population explosions. It is not a problem endemic to the population of America but rather it is the rising tide of unabated immigration to the United States from countries whose populations are bursting at the seams and whose natural resources are under unprecedented stresses that is the issue.
With huge and unprecedented numbers of both legal and illegal immigrants flooding into the United States, the problem of stressing America's natural resources as well as social conflicts from those populations will have a detrimental effect on the future of America. The United States has no sensible policy regarding immigration, using outmoded models for allowing immigration that are a hundred years out of date.
Overpopulation and the fight for dwindling resources is causing conflict all over the world as peoples are pushed up one against the other and into poverty as a result of their simply being too many people. The desire to escape the conflicts and poverty is causing a spillover into the United States and too much of that immigration is illegal, and once in the United States, these illegal immigrants use America's own constitution against it by having children and then claiming that to be deported while their children stay in America as legal citizens would be a cruel separation of parent and child, never of course mentioning that the child is perfectly able to join them in the parents original country of origin, or mentioning that it was the parents who put themselves in the situation in the first place by sneaking into the United States. Latino immigration advocacy groups in particular are very vocal in defending any person's right to stay in the U.S. who has a latino last name.
Meanwhile, American politicians, clueless of the plight of countries abroad and more eager to be re-elected than to fight for the nation's future are scared stiff to alienate ethnic and cultural groups with high percentages of immigrants, especially illegal immigrants, who can vote. Alongside of this problem is the eternal penchant of immigrant advocacy groups to cry "racism" at the drop of a hat. America has become a helpless airport to the rest of the world and together with the richest countries in Europe, is under an onslaught of savy political groups who tie the hands of countries like America by claiming racism and bigotry at the drop of a hat. Resolve, once the hallmark word to describe countries like Great Britain and America has almost entirely disappeared from those cultures and the populations who made those countries the types of places everyone else in the world wants to live in have no say in the matter. This is because either of the incredible naivete' of middle class Americans as to the true nature of the problems in 3rd world countries or because of the fact that those who do protest against too much immigration are silenced by accusations of racism, as if American citizens have no right to control their own borders.
The situation is ridiculous and entirely out of hand. Never before in the history of Europe, Australia, Great Britain and America has there been such a high percentage of those populations who emphatically do not like the stories and histories of those countries. Meanwhile, the hypocrisy of immigrants who advocate for other immigrants with similar last names or skin color is entirely lost when Americans of European descent advocate for keeping their own culture intact; in the topsy turvy world of political correctness, one act is racist and the other is not.
In a country like Egypt, from where I am writing this, the future is bleak. The population is growing steadily and the country is 95% desert. The Nile River is the only large source of water for Egypt and countries upstream from Egypt such as Sudan and Uganda and Ethiopia, have their own plans for the Nile. The situation is so delicate for Egypt that for years the Egyptian government has stated that any attempt to disrupt the flow of the Nile by countries upstream would be considered an act of war. No wonder that thousands if not millions of Egyptians would like to come to the United States and live the "easy" life. The problem for American is that the flow of immigrants from stressed out 3rd world nations is not going to stop but only get worse. Allowing so many people from 3rd world countries into the United States is not improving the situation around the world but only making the quality of life in the U.S. more dismal.
Multiply the story of Egypt many times over and by hundreds of millions of lives and one can see that America will soon be overwhelmed by 3rd world populations that do not share the same cultural values that made America a wonderful place to live. Among those on the political left in the U.S., it is taken as gospel that everyone else in the world would be exactly like the largely European population that built America if only given the chance. For me this is simply a naive, politically correct view of the world we live in that has no basis in reality and before you know it, the United States will seem increasingly like a 3rd world nation. Just this week, in an Egyptian english language newspaper, there was a story of how an illegal Egyptian immigrant was killed by Ecuadorian and Peruvian gang members who were also illegal immigrants; where? In Milan, Italy of all places. What in the world those people are doing there is beyond me and speaks to the lack of resolve present on the part of the Italian government. This is a trait shared by every government in western Europe although countries such as Denmark and Switzerland in late 2009 finally said enough with the minarets of mosques on the skylines of their countries cities but this is far too little and far too late. Immigrant populations in Europe, feeling disenfranchised by the native populations are disgruntled and in France have rioted in massive fashion over very little provocation.
One doesn't have to be a genius to figure out that a given country is a reflection of that country's population. It is not politically correct to suggest that more Mexicans in the United States will make America that bit more like Mexico yet no one is breaking down the doors to enter Mexico illegally nor does reality imposes it's own values on this argument. The wave of illegal immigration has made the United States an easier target for terrorist attacks; 9/11 could not have happened in 1950's America. Many immigrants commit crimes, go to emergency rooms, commit welfare fraud and are otherwise a terrible burden to the American taxpayers, the same taxpayers who have no say whatsoever in stopping illegal immigration thanks to their own politicians.
