Much like the Titanic that sank on April 15, 1912, the United States stands at a critical juncture in the history of our nation. Few realize it, but, like the Titanic, this nation smashed into a piece of legislation in 1965 that was never asked for or approved by the American public.
In 1965, our "Captain" Lyndon B. Johnson, along with helmsman Senator Teddy Kennedy, drove America into an "iceberg" of massive, unrestricted immigration that opened up the floodgates with the "Immigration Reform Act." At first, the flow of one million immigrants annually wasn't noticed. We were benevolent. Our country was big. There was plenty of room and resources.
However, the massive flow of humanity from that hit is still pouring into our country 38 years later and few seem to notice—much like the party-goers and dancing on the Titanic that kept up for hours after hitting the iceberg in the North Atlantic. However, even the invincible Titanic could not survive the onslaught from the constant flow of incoming water—slowly, methodically stealing its ability to stay afloat.
Today in the United States, 70 million immigrants later and pouring in at 2.3 million annually—both legal and illegal—our nation shudders from San Francisco to New York and from Chicago to Miami. We rose from 200 million to nearly 300 million in three decades. What was once a benefit to our country is now a full-scale overpopulation and societal crisis.
From stem to stern, our English language is under assault and our schools are drowning in ethnic violence, rapes, drugs and gang warfare. In California, Texas, Florida and Arizona, our hospitals suffer bankruptcies from non-paid services for 350,000 annual "anchor babies." Ten million illegal immigrants displace jobs from America's working poor and depress wages for many others.
Leprosy, tuberculosis, Chagas Disease, hepatitis and other diseases "pour" into our country within the bodies of illegal immigrants who avoid health screening before coming on board the United States.
Even worse, clashing cultures with religions that celebrate "female genital mutilation" and subjugation of women are growing in enclaves around our country. As Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself can not stand."
On the environmental front, our nation explodes toward an added 200 million people that will approach half billion by mid-century. We are creating an "irreversible crisis" with unsolvable problems. California is slated to add 20 million in 30 years. Colorado will add five million by mid century. Arizona will add four million. They already don't have enough water. Florida can not survive another five million people. New York shudders with its population problems.
Air pollution poisons what we breathe and massive sprawl devours our once lauded spaciousness. Species extinction accelerates as we add numbers. Much like the Titanic, our standard of living drops and our quality of life sinks with the influx of unrestricted immigration. Soon, we too, will become like the countries of Bangladesh, India and China.
On the employment front, our leaders are outsourcing and offshoring our jobs to Third World countries while they import the Third World into our country.
America's middle class is being driven into the unemployment lines. Our schools are becoming dysfunctional towers of Babel with over 140 languages. We cannot stay afloat with this kind of linguistic chaos.
Yes, we have compassion for immigrants, but it's our country and our children. Their leaders need to take care of them in their countries. Unfortunately, Congress and leadership of this nation refuse to step below the water line to see how fast we are sinking.
We're $6.8 trillion in debt. There were 20 different languages on the California recall ballot. Whose country is this anyway? Our leaders are standing in the wheelhouse totally insulated and isolated from those of us who shovel the coal, build houses, repair cars, teach our kids, drive school busses and plow roads.
We cannot save the world, but we can destroy our country if we fail to act.
Like the Titanic that cracked in half before plunging to the depths because no one stopped the incoming water, the United States like all great nations before us, could sink. You can see the signs all around our country. If you look around you, we're shuddering from bow to aft—from the stacks to the rudder. Who is steering our nation and why are they heading toward more icebergs instead of changing course?
What can you do? You are just as much an American patriot as Paul Revere, Betsy Ross, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Lincoln and the soldiers from Valley Forge to the Jungles of Vietnam and deserts of Iraq. It's time to start riding, stitching, writing, charging, demonstrating and fighting for our country within our country. We need to seal our borders against this incursion.
Since our leaders won't stop this invasion of an "unarmed army" of legal and illegal immigrants, it's up to you. Our children face a dangerous future if we fail to take action. It wasn't George Washington who beat the British army. It was every militiaman who shot from fence lines and trees. It wasn't Ike who won W.W.II. It was every G.I. who slung a rifle over his shoulder. Susan B. Anthony marched and Dr. Martin Luther King demonstrated. They, in their time, paid the price for defending America so we could enjoy our freedom. This is your time.
