Few national leaders are seriously concerned. They talk and talk and talk without doing anything substantial, but few even feign concern. They are like socialite fools on the sinking Titanic enjoying an elegant dinner, sipping expensive champagne as the ship’s rivets snap along the waterline and the doomed vessel lists to starboard.

As tables began to slide, a few diners looked worried but then remembered this was a ship “even God couldn’t sink.” However, it seems God didn’t read or believe their advertising.

The most elegant and largest ship sank into the icy North Atlantic and ruined the dinner party for everyone on a cold night on April 15, 1912.  More than 1500 died in the tragedy.

The tragedy at our southern border is far more tragic than the Titanic sinking and equally preventable.

Few of our gatecrashers plan to pick tomatoes or strawberries. Although a few will pick vegetables, many more will pick your pocket by crowding the public schools, overwhelming the hospitals, draining the welfare budget, filling the jails, and causing havoc on the highways.

Some obey our laws and contribute to our nation, but they are still illegal gatecrashers.

They don’t deserve to be hated or mistreated, but they should be sent home or to prison—a working prison with no television sets, gyms, or playrooms. And not a lawyer or social worker within 50 miles.

The massive invasion seems to be unending, and we are told there is nothing we can do to stop the incursion. Wait a minute. This is the nation that was carved out of the wilderness; we built huge cities with skyscrapers, major highways, hospitals, universities, and railroads that stretched from sea to sea; we went to the moon; we accomplished incredible things in the field of medicine; we endured a bloody civil war; fought two world wars and a litany of minor wars; we survived a shattering financial collapse and many minor ones. The U.S. can identify a person or location anywhere in the world and put a missile within five feet of the target. We maintain a massive army, navy, and air force, but we can’t stop a few thousand gatecrashers!

Someone doesn’t want to do so.

Future Americans will look back and be almost convinced that contemporary events were falsified since U.S. officials could not really be that stupid, incompetent, or treasonous.

But they are.

Illegal, illegitimate, and often infected gatecrashers are destroying America. Yes, I know non-thinking leftists want to call them “undocumented immigrants,” but calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a heroin dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist.”

Leftists, even many loosey-goosey Evangelicals, believe there is a global right to live in America. That is obvious nonsense since our Constitution says America was founded “For Ourselves and our Posterity.” That leaves out everyone that is not “our posterity.” Not every Tom, Dick, and Hugo (or Mohammed) who wants to advance his financial position has a right to live here.

The lunatic idea of having nations without borders permitting anyone to freely move about inside a common boundary was promoted by President George W. Bush when he met in March of 2005 with the Mexican president and the Canadian prime minister at Waco, Texas. After that conference, the Council on Foreign Relations published “Toward a North American Community,” which called for a “seamless market” with “a more open border for the movement of goods and people.”

Such a policy has been true in the European Union for many years, whereby anyone can travel to any member nation without documentation. Such nations lose their nationhood and become a mass of land where chaos rules.

Biden doesn’t rule; chaos does.

Benjamin Franklin was shocked by the invasion of German immigrants into Pennsylvania. They did not possess the English culture or language or the same values. Franklin wrote, “why should the Palatine Moors be suffered to swarm into our settlements, and by herding together establish their languages and manners to the exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our language or customs, any more than they can acquire our complexion?”

In early America, Germans, Italians, etc., were not considered white. They were “less white.”

Franklin added, “But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.”

Was Franklin a racist or white supremacist since he wrote of the complexion and limitation of immigrants? Maybe he had a legitimate fear that the massive influx of foreigners would destroy the great American experiment in freedom. He would be shocked to know that in 2018, the foreign-born population in America was about 14% of the U.S. population! It was 6% in 1980.

As I write, we are witnessing the amalgamation, even the destruction of specific groups.  Black, White, Red, and Yellow groups will disappear.  While interracial marriages are not illegal or unbiblical, it is in the interests of Globalists to make everyone the same. Does anyone care? Is it racist to care? Is it racist to even ask the question? I suppose it is racist to reveal that I prefer the 1980 percent of foreigners.

America doesn’t need any nation’s uneducated, unskilled, and unmotivated people. It is not selfish but sane and sensible to permit only those who will contribute to our nation.

The illegal alien invasion of America is producing a dangerous, dark, decaying, and dying nation; and I see no return of America’s greatness—even if there is a return to genuine Christianity.

But frankly, it may be too late to close the barn door since the horses are galloping down the road. We have been soft rather than sensible; weak rather than wise; calm rather than confrontational; and relaxed rather than resolute. When America explodes, all bets are off, and a reign of terror may ensue, and the America we know will be gone forever.

Talk show hosts have asked me if my message causes people to panic, and I always reply that I am trying to make people awake and aware without being alarmed. However, at this time in the crisis, maybe it is time to be alarmed! No, not irresponsible, out‑of‑control panic. Just the everyday kind of alarm that makes your blood run hot, your adrenaline flow, your hands sweat profusely, and your mouth as dry as an oil well I invested in.

Stop trade with nations who permit illegal aliens to pass through their territory en route to the U.S. or nations that refuse to permit their citizens to return to their own country.

Freeze the national assets in Central America until they curb the efforts of their people to flee illegally to America.

Pull up the ladder and permit no more immigration for at least five years with only a few exceptions.

Close all the holes in our northern and southern borders, even using the military, drones, helicopters, and any new technology to get the job done.

Collect huge penalties from any business that hires an illegal alien. Double the fine for a second offense. Jail for the third. That won’t make me popular with the Chamber of Commerce, but I’m not in a popularity contest.

Illegal aliens do not have the same rights that Americans have; therefore, expel all who are here illegally. As a precaution, fingerprint and photograph them and imprison them if they return.

We should fingerprint and photograph all emigrants who come to America from any nation and fine them heavily if they overstay their visas. Then, send them back “home.”

It’s time to stop playing games and stop swilling the giggle juice and realize the party is over. The ship is going down, we are ankle-deep in icy water, and it’s time to bring out the lifeboats. As the ship splits in half, most Americans tell each other that God would never permit America to sink, since we are so strong, and so supreme, and so special.

And so stupid.

In fact, the comparison is eerie.

Rome was founded in 753 B.C. with Romulus as the first king ruling over erratic and violent citizens characterized by Livy as “a rabble of vagrants, mostly runaways and refugees, unrestrained by the power of the throne.” Rome’s early days are shrouded in mystery and myth and mistakes involving the “god” Mars, who fathered Romulus and his twin brother Remus and left them to die after their birth. The twin babies, washed up on a riverbank, were suckled by a she-wolf, and Romulus became king of Rome and killed his brother.

Wow, from miraculous birth to marvelous childhood to a mighty king in one generation!

Interestingly, city guides in Rome propagate that myth as fact to gullible tourists. When I kindly challenged them and finally ridiculed their promotion of a silly legend, they became indignant as if I also asserted the earth is flat, or even worse, that the city of Rome was overrated and overpriced.

After casting off the shackles of the Monarchy with the overthrow of the last of Rome’s seven kings who were absolute dictators, the Monarchy was followed by a Republic in 509 B.C.

The new Roman Republic was the period when the city-state of Rome was a republican government (from 509 B.C. to 27 B.C.). The Romans had replaced their last king with elected magistrates, which lasted until 27 B.C. It was one of the world’s first examples of representative democracy.

National Geographic asserts, “The Republic began to engage in wars with its neighboring rivals, slowly eliminating threats to its superiority in the Mediterranean. By the first century B.C., the Roman Republic stood alone as the dominant power in the Mediterranean region.”

During the middle of the first century B.C., Rome was marked by civil wars and the dictatorship of Julius Caesar. Caesar asked the statesman Cicero to work with his dictatorship; however, Cicero refused being a republican and desiring a return to traditional republican government.

Cicero knew an authoritarian ruler, like Caesar, could bring stability, safety, and success to a nation, but dictatorship always results in loss of personal freedom.

Caesar (who never lost a war) defeated Pompey in a civil war and led the nation out of a Republic into a dictatorship until his assassination in 44 B.C. Thus, he played a significant role in the events that led to the ruin of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. Following Caesar’s death, his adopted son Octavian won some major battles (defeating Mark Antony and Cleopatra), and the Senate proclaimed him Emperor Augustus Caesar in 27 B.C., followed by an unprecedented 200 years of peace.

Then, it was downhill to the emperors who were morally corrupt, mentally incompetent, and murder prone—often using assassination as a standard political tool.

Cicero was, for his day, a principled Roman, famous for his oratory. He vigorously criticized Caesar, Mark Antony, and other politicians who thought the Republic was passé and constantly grabbed personal political power. Antony was often criticized by Cicero, and Cicero was finally assassinated while leaving for a sea voyage. Cicero’s hands, which had penned the famous harangues against Antony, were cut off, and he was beheaded. His hands and his head were nailed to the podium in the Roman Forum. Antony’s wife pulled out the dead orator’s tongue and repeatedly thrust a pin through it, letting all know what she thought of his powerful speaking.

Before Cicero was killed in 43 B.C., he declared, “Rome’s swollen population of unemployed immigrates from the country-side was a bonfire waiting to be lit.” Rome was constantly on the march taking new territories of people whose language, religion, personal habits, and general culture differed from Roman citizens. As the conquered territories were farther and farther distant from Rome, it became more difficult to control them.

The Republic was followed by the Roman Empire ruled by numerous incompetent, immoral, even incestuous Emperors and only five good ones under whom there was impressive success and growth from 96 A.D. to 180. A.D. Rome’s control rapidly expanded during this period—from the city’s immediate surroundings to control of the entire Mediterranean world. The period witnessed a considerable expansion of the Empire into northern Britain and east to Mesopotamia.

The great Mediterranean Sea became a Roman lake.

By the end of the third century, Rome was still a powerful empire, but all was not well below the surface. The foundations were cracking and crumbling, and dangerous ideas were invading the Empire. The cities were decreasing, and industry was declining, and agriculture was being destroyed by excessive taxation. Peasants could no longer make a living by farming.

Travel was no longer safe. Under Caesar’s rule, he had produced peace, and “there are neither wars, nor battles, nor great robberies, nor piracies; but we may travel at all hours and sail from east to west,” according to Epictetus. That was no longer true, and the value of Roman citizenship was devalued since no one was safe and justice was only a word.

Outside Rome’s borders, vast numbers of barbarians had become more sophisticated in warfare and surged through the Empire, causing restless sleep in the Emperor’s palace. The Huns, in the 370s, invaded along the Danube River, driving the Germanic tribes into the Roman provinces. Rome was willing to accept that, but the desired controlled relocation of barbarians within the Empire’s borders ended as an invasion.

I’ve heard of that happening recently.

Small farmers of central Italy had been the foundation of Roman life but could not compete with imported grains from around the Black Sea. Therefore, they sold their land and moved to the city, and lived on welfare. They joined the mobs who demanded more bread and vicious contests and more exciting games. The government used public taxes and provided the mobs free grain at public events, including chariot races, gladiator contests, and mock naval battles.

Cicero wrote: “The evil was not in bread and circuses, per se, but in the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of games which would serve to distract them from the other human hungers which bread and circuses can never appease.” One Roman is recorded as saying: “Those who live at the expense of the public funds are more numerous than those who provide them.” That could not continue.

Rome was no longer Rome.

The civilization of a thousand years could see the handwriting on the wall: the brutal barbarians were at the gates of Rome, and collapse was imminent. In 410, Rome, the city of the Caesars, fell to the uncivilized, uneducated, uncouth Barbarians. With the collapse of Rome, a chill was felt through the civilized world.

If it could happen to mighty Rome, it could happen to any nation.

The Germanic clans 600 miles north of Rome did not want to destroy the Empire, but they were attracted to the “good life,” a consequence of civilization. Moreover, they liked the prestige and protection of Roman citizenship. Roman historian Tacitus in 98 B.C. was the first historian to mention Germanic tribes who were moving into southwestern Germany about the same time the Romans were conquering present-day Gaul—France, Switzerland, Belgium, and northern Italy.

Caesar defeated a barbarian clan in 70 B.C., making the Rhine River the boundary between Roman and German territory.

Some Germanic tribes lived outside Rome’s boundary and over the first few hundred years of the Christian era had been Romanized through trade and travel. As tribes prospered in their trade and made adjustments to their rugged lifestyle, they drew attention to the Huns who rode in from the Asian steppes. Roman citizenship looked very profitable to the German tribes since they would be protected by the greatest power on earth and the weather was much warmer, an advantage to farmers.

Rome was not opposed to taking the tribes into their Empire, and many Germans adapted well to the Roman Army. However, all immigrants had to assimilate. They were forbidden to live in cliques, perpetuating their old culture. They were dispersed throughout the Empire and had to become Romans, the price of citizenship.

Great, grand, and grandiose plan, but it didn’t work.

Bill Federer wrote, “Illegal immigrants poured across the Roman borders: Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Franks, Anglos, Saxons, Alemanni, Thuringians, Rugians, Jutes, Picts, Burgundians, Lombards, Alans, Vandals, as well as African Berbers and Arab raiders.”

After a slow deterioration process, the Romans lost control of the immigration procedure during the Fifth Century. Defeated Persia (Iran) felt frisky and lively again and made sounds like a powerful nation. Rome sent its troops to put the Persians back in their place as a failed empire. The Germanic tribes were permitted into the Empire, but they continued their political and cultural identities. They did not assimilate, even uniting with other tribes to form armies within the Roman Empire!

Will and Ariel Durant wrote, “If Rome had not engulfed so many men of alien blood in so brief a time, if she had passed all these newcomers through her schools instead of her slums, if she had treated them as men with a hundred potential excellences, if she had occasionally closed her gates to let assimilation catch up with infiltration, she might have gained new racial and literary vitality from the infusion, and might have remained a Roman Rome, the voice and citadel of the West.”

America has not learned from Rome’s many mistakes, and it is insane to expect a favorable result. Last week, the U.S. has absorbed over 15,000 Haitians of a different language, religion, personal habits, and race. This mass was added to the hundreds of thousands of others from Central American nations, plus an unknown number of Muslims whose religion demands they do not assimilate or cooperate with their new surroundings.

America’s politicians still do not understand that true Muslims can not and will not assimilate—they always dominate.

Many churches, like those today, had only a temporary influence on the dying Empire.

Richard A. Todd wrote in The Fall of the Roman Empire, “The church, while preaching against abuses, contributed to the decline by discouraging good Christians from holding public office.” And while we have some of that today, it seems the problem is not lack of Christians in office but lack of Christians in office with backbone.

The Fifth Century historian Salvian shockingly wrote, “For all the lurid Roman tales of their atrocities … the barbarians displayed … a good deal more fidelity to their wives.” He declared, “O Roman people be ashamed; be ashamed of your lives. Almost no cities are free of evil dens, are altogether free of impurities, except the cities in which the barbarians have begun to live. … Let nobody think otherwise, the vices of our bad lives have alone conquered us. … The Goths lie, but are chaste, the Franks lie, but are generous, the Saxons are savage in cruelty … but are admirable in chastity. … What hope can there be for the Romans when the barbarians are more pure than they?”

At that time, the “Christians” were quibbling over who was to be the supreme leader, what language would be used, the use of indulgences, Purgatory and Limbo, whether Jesus was human and divine; etc. While the various religious groups continued to win adherents, they made little impact on the direction of the Empire. It is agreed that the religious authority of the now developing Roman Catholic Church held the barbarians at bay for a while, which was only temporary.

I wish I had the talent of Gibbon to graphically write The Decline and Fall of the American Empire as a warning. I see no hope, and history gives no example of a nation, once on the slippery slope, ever recovering its greatness on its own.

Rome was an empire of legions and law devolving into luxury and license and became a hodgepodge of conquest and cruelty.

Personal virtue determines national values, and Rome permitted itself to become worse than Barbarians whose presence they welcomed.

America, are you listening?

However, they did not do so, and the great Roman Empire crumbled. Rome was no longer Roman because of lack of assimilation, and America and many of the free nations are doing what Durant warned of Rome’s fall. Struck giddy with feel-goodism, we have opened our gates for tribes of uneducated, uncultured, and often uncouth peoples that are quickly transforming America into another nation. America is no longer American. We are seeing the decline and fall of the American Republic!

Many free nations are making the same mistake as massive hordes of emigrants with alien cultures, languages, religions, etc., are swamping and overwhelming European populations. England is no longer English, France is no longer French, and Germany is no longer German.

Muslim leaders generally have not tried to educate their people in civilized behavior. If they want to live among decent, civilized people, they should discard the Arabian Desert mentality. They should dress normally, lighten up, and realize that most of us are not going to agree with their theology or seek to emulate the sayings and actions of “the prophet.”

We have a culture and theology of our own, thank you.

It is nonsense to promote policies that are dangerous, detrimental, and destructive to one’s homeland. There is no validity in the arguments used by liberals/progressives in this debate. Our primary interest must not be to promote a social policy. Helping relieve the social and economic problems of another nation is not relevant. Nor is it desirable or in our best interest to appease and serve an elite group of U.S. businesspeople. Nor do we make policy decisions to make whiners feel good. What is best for our nation must be the criterion.

U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Jordan was a black liberal Democrat who headed the Jordan Commission in 1995. Although a liberal, she said, “Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave.” Can any honest, sane person disagree with that?

Evidently, Biden and what’s-her-name Harris and most Democrats disagree since they have installed metaphorical signs at the southern border declaring, “Welcome to America, the land of endless freebies thanks to Democrats and RINOs. Join the line to the left.”

And the line is endless.

America has more immigrants than any other country in the world. Today, “More than 40 million people living in the U.S. were born in another country, accounting for about one-fifth of the world’s migrants.” We are the most concerned, compassionate, and careless nation on earth. All other nations are more careful about who comes and goes and who stays than America is.

Pew Research Center reported, “more than 1 million immigrants arrive in the U.S. each year.” What is shocking in that report is more people came from China (149,000) than any other nation in 2018! Mexico sent us her best 120,000 people. No one knows how many illegal aliens are coming via the Biden Expressway at the southern border.

We accept a million legal immigrates each year—a number that should be reduced to zero for five years. If migrant workers are needed, then temporary worker cards can be awarded using strict supervision. When the time has expired, each case can be evaluated, and if workers are still needed, then the cards can be renewed. Everyone wins since the necessary laborers are found; poor foreign workers have temporary jobs; money is sent home; etc.

We must admit that if large numbers of immigrants, legal or illegal, enter the U.S., it will relieve some of the other nations’ social and economic problems, but what will it do to America’s problems? By what twisted logic are U.S. citizens expected to forfeit their hard-earned money to provide for foreigners, especially those foreigners who are criminals?

Should U.S. taxpayers be expected to finance millions of uneducated, unskilled, and often un-American illegal immigrants? I can defend the position that we should not finance legal immigrants. The Biden administration’s legalization of at least eleven million illegal aliens (some say it is more than 20 million) will destroy a once-great nation. By stopping all immigration for five years and plugging the hole in our borders, we would permit “assimilation [to] catch up with infiltration.”

While many of the aliens are decent, hardworking people, many are not. I think this tragic immigration policy will create political, financial, and cultural anarchy. For sure, it is changing America.

The school system, fire protection, police protection, etc., generate vast expenses that the taxpayers pay; but poorly educated immigrants, legal or illegal, do not pay their share. They are tax consumers receiving in services far more than they pay in taxes. That means other taxpayers must “carry” on their backs the non-payers.

In times past, most immigrants melted into the pot, but not today. They have no desire to assimilate and become Americans. Harvard immigration expert George J. Borjas declared, “In fact, the evidence suggests that there has not been any economic assimilation for the cohorts that entered the country in the 1990s.” Illegal aliens get lost in a massive group of their own kind and don’t need to melt into the pot. They sit, soak, and sour in the salad bowl.

We are told that the U.S. economy depends upon foreign workers; however, Borjas reveals that legal and illegal immigrants in the labor market produce $1.6 trillion per year; however, 97.8% of that money goes to the illegal workers, and only “2.2% accrues to native-born Americans.” Borjas suggests that there is more cost to America than financial benefit.

The pro-immigration people tell us that immigrants don’t take jobs; they make jobs and pay taxes. However, while that is true in some individual cases, it is not true in the aggregate. Borjas estimates that the immigrants’ cash welfare benefits alone cost about $1 billion more than is paid by them in taxes each year.

Illegal immigrants take jobs at lower wages, thereby subsidizing the American businesses that hire them illegally. If laws were enforced against hiring illegals, Americans and legal workers would be the source from which businesses hire their workers, paying them the going wage and benefits. High-paid workers “willing to work hard” are often laid off because illegal immigrants are willing to work just as hard for much less money. Whom do you think a business owner is going to hire under those conditions?

We are told that immigrants are needed as agricultural workers—work that Americans will not do. Still, a more accurate statement is that they take jobs that Americans refuse to accept at greatly reduced wages! Furthermore, when an American gets a job, he must be paid the minimum wage with all required benefits. No wonder businessmen prefer to hire illegal aliens. When times get tough, Americans will work at any job to put food on the table. Don’t you feel good knowing that foreigners are working at very low wages to make more profit for those agribusinesses.

There are many negative results from illegal immigration: bankrupt hospitals, burgeoning schools, astronomical welfare funds, soaring crimes, lower wages, fewer jobs for legal Americans, and invasion of violent gangs even into northern cities.

American businessman gets cheap illegal labor; the illegal immigrant gets low wages but far more than possible in Mexico; and he or she often sits, soaks, and sours in America’s salad bowl–while we finance it all!

But most immigrants insist on clinging to their most offensive practices—no melting pot for them. They accept our opulent bounty but reject our obvious behavior, and they accept our cash but resist our culture. They have kept the cult in culture and removed the civil in civilization.

I smile when new immigrants, especially Muslims, speak glowingly of what they left behind. I may even fall to the floor, holding my sides with raucous laughter. I have seen what they left behind. I have seen the tragedies of multiple wives. I’ve seen their televised instructions on how to beat their wives. I’ve heard them try to justify molesting teenage girls. I have walked their dirty streets. I’ve sat around their Bedouin tents and tried to drink their thick black coffee as they spouted anti-Semitic nonsense and the false Palestinian myth.

Those new Islamic immigrants have a right to be offended at my critique, criticism, and condemnation, but I have a right not to care.

In recent years, the U.S. brought thousands of rustics to our cities that have changed the culture of those cities. It can be observed in any major city, especially in Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago, etc. Leftists tell us that Americans must devalue their culture so the new immigrants don’t feel unwelcome and out of place. Some major publications declare that downplaying our culture is necessary to bring cultural diversity to majority-white American towns with a very small percent minority population. Their pathetic pitch is we must never embarrass other cultures by suggesting our way is the best way or even a better way.

We are told that people from a better culture should modulate and subdue their higher standards to keep people from an inferior culture from knowing the differences causing them humiliation. However, unless we are idiots, everyone already knows the differences. All right, maybe a very sensitive person will not boast about his perceived higher standards but to purposefully distort reality to help someone save face is absurd, awkward, and asinine.

A quick look at Sweden, France, Germany, England, and others will easily prove that a massive influx of less developed people will change a higher culture almost immediately.

My culture is far more advanced than the culture of the Muslims as indicated when they tried to purchase my wife and daughters for ten goats or five camels, the normal price for that period. That happened in Syria and Jordan during some of my 14 tours of the Middle East. They wanted to purchase any blond woman in my group.

But it didn’t happen in Israel.

It is telling that such an incident never happened in Israel, where we spent most of our time. Is it because of a difference between the Muslim culture and the Israeli culture? Of course, there were some sophisticated Muslims whose homes I visited who would not make me such an offer because other advanced cultures had impacted them.

That same biased, backward, and bloody Muslim culture still mutilates little girls to keep them “sexually pure” for marriage to any lewd, crude dude willing to purchase them. Of course, the old dudes don’t pay as much for the small girls since they are not blondes. That culture teaches that any non-Muslim girl or woman is available to them, and they have expressed surprise when arrested for rape in civilized nations of Europe! They defend rape because they believe they have a right to those females! And some Muslims who don’t participate in the above refuse to condemn it, making them a part of the evil.

The Islamic practice of “honor killings” is enough proof for my premise of inferior cultures. It is considered acceptable, even expected, for a rape victim to be killed by family members. Not the rapist, but the raped is killed! Too often, a family kills a daughter who has been raped. I know of a case where a son raped his sister, and the girl was killed by her family, not the son/rapist!

The Koran commands Muslims in sura 9:4-5 to ambush the “Mushrikun,” who is identified in verse 6 as “the polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah.” That covers everyone who is not a Muslim! He is to fight in advancing the cause of Islam, not simply in a time of war or defense; all Muslims are to fight to advance Islam. Moreover, each Muslim is obligated to fight for Islam with enthusiasm, or he will be penalized at the last judgment.

Now you know why traditional Muslims are so contentious, confrontational, and cruel. They are on a “holy” mission to force Islam down the throats of every person on earth. They are taught to kiss the hand of the enemy (every non-Muslim) when they are in the minority but to break his fist when in control. We are in a clash of civilizations, not only a clash of cultures.

Western culture is far superior to Muslim culture shown by their celebration of the death of Mohammed’s grandson 1300 years ago. Ashura Day is an annual day that Shia Muslims mutilate themselves and their children. It is a very bloody and traumatic scene as scores of Muslims whip themselves and cut their heads open. Some do that to their small children. If you dare, look at the bloody scene and tell me that all cultures are the same.

Many Muslims want us to think living in mud huts, bathing in a river, marrying our nine-year-old daughters to old men, ripping out a young daughter’s clitoris, and peeing in a hole in the ground is an advanced culture. Or maybe another culture. No, compared with America, it is a substandard culture, not similar, and for sure not superior to ours.

No, thank you. I’m satisfied with my Western Christianized Culture with its admitted failures.

Amnesty is a program pushed by pathetic progressives, even Evangelical progressives, to decriminalize millions of illegal aliens giving them citizenship. Many of the migrants are diseased, deranged, and dangerous as thousands of Americans have discovered. With this vast number of people from other cultures, languages, and religions, we are seeing a massive shift in American culture not experienced in our history.

My critics declare that I am unkind, unreasonable, and even unchristian for opposing amnesty and sanctuary cities; however, their charge is not based on solid reasoning or the Scripture. They distort the Scripture to make it fit their unreasonable, unconstitutional, and unbiblical demands.

We are told that the illegal immigrants are trying to escape Islamic tyranny, gangs, and poverty so America should make room for them since we are a Christian nation. Well, first of all, only people can become Christians; however, a nation can become Christianized or influenced by the Bible. Secondly, almost all my critics and supporters of amnesty and unlimited immigration confuse what a person should do with what a nation should do. All people who interpret ancient literature know one of the first questions that must be answered is, “To whom was this written and why.”

Pro-amnesty Evangelicals are not asking that question. Exodus 23:9 is usually used by the Bible-twisters to support their cause; however they use a flawed hermeneutic to build their case. “Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” That passage is dealing with a person’s obligation, not national obligations. Of course, those religious leaders who use that verse know that but are being deceitful to establish a very shaky principle.

It is easy to prove my contention about this being a personal obligation. Verse 3 of that chapter warns the ancient Jews (and us today), “Neither shalt thou countenance (give approval) a poor man in his cause.” Moses was warning us about showing favor to a person because of his condition, whether rich or poor. We are not to be swayed by our emotions but by justice. The ancient maxim is, “Let justice be done, though the heavens should be dissolved.”

I heard one of the great evangelists of the last generation say, “Do right though the stars fall from Heaven.” The illegal aliens have not done right. They resolutely broke our laws and crashed our gates and forced themselves in front of others who have followed our laws and procedures. There are four million people who are waiting in line legally. The illegal aliens refused to wait. Their arrogance and audaciousness is astounding.

Furthermore, no one will tell me just how many immigrants are we expected to admit? Is there a limit? Do we wait until the ship is sinking before we realize that there are limits? If an overcrowded ship goes down then everyone is lost. Do gooders (as opposed to those who do good) are not the most logical thinkers.

Jim Wallis (another do gooder who doesn’t think logically) is the president of the leftwing religious outfit Sojourners who declared, “Evangelicals finally realize that how we treat the stranger, these 11 million undocumented people, [No, it is now 22 million] is how we treat Christ himself.” Jim must have been sleeping during his hermeneutics class in seminary because he did not get that from the Bible. Of course, Christians are to be kind, gracious, helpful, but that does not translate into being suckers, softies, and sycophants. We could really show how kind, gentle, gracious, and generous—as well as unwise, unreliable, and unhinged—we are by emptying all our prisons!

Radical Andrew Gillum, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others want to empty prisons while Joe Biden pledged to cut the U.S. incarceration rate by more than 50%.

And the most hard core felons could move into their neighborhoods.

Wallis went on to say the leadership of the Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT which includes the National Association of Evangelicals and the Ethics and Religious Liberty Convention of the Southern Baptist Convention) and the evangelical community have “never been more united on an issue.” Jim has one of two problems: he is either disingenuous or uninformed because the vast majority of evangelicals want illegal immigrants to go home. A Pulse Opinion poll revealed that 78% of Evangelicals surveyed believed that the biblical command to “love the stranger” means “to treat the stranger humanely while applying the rule of law.” Additionally, a recent Pew Research Center poll showed only 25% of white Evangelicals believed the U.S. had a “responsibility” to accept refugees into the country.

Wallis is wrong again but then, he is used to that.

Christians are commanded by Christ to treat others the way we want to be treated. Let’s return to Exodus 23:9: “Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” But that has nothing to do with illegal aliens. Fuzzy preachers neglect to tell their congregations that the Jews were in Egypt by invitation and were not trespassers as our modern invaders. In fact, the Jews were special guests as long as Joseph was alive and a friendly Pharaoh reigned.

They were strangers in Egypt (but not illegal aliens) even though they ended up as slaves. These verses do not apply to the immigration issue even slightly. Illegal aliens purposefully chose to break our laws, even arrogantly demanding entrance into our nation expecting to be cared for upon their arrival. They are not sojourners or strangers but scoundrels and are encouraged to break our laws by many leftwing religious groups, even some Evangelicals.

Of course, some of these leftwing Evangelical groups get paid $1 850.00 for each immigrant they settle in an American city. Follow the money.

Other desperate defenders of open borders tell us Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus were migrants fleeing into another land for safety so American immigration laws should reflect that fact. However, it is not a fact. The family were not aliens since they were part of the Roman Empire as was Egypt at that time. Moreover, it was perfectly legal to travel from one Roman province to another. Loose Evangelicals should be ashamed of their distortion of Scripture to support a very tenuous position.

While the Evangelicals are correct in that the Kingdom of God has no borders and welcomes all who qualify through faith in Christ, the city of Jerusalem, the nation of Israel, and all other nations, states, cities, and villages and their gated estates do have distinct borders.

This is another example of how far left many Evangelicals are. Evangelical churches are wallowing in diversity and choking on heresy.

Many soft Evangelical leaders are hypocrites but it pays well.

Whatever their reasons for coming, these people have few and low skills making them much more likely to seek public assistance, gorge the school system, overwhelm the health care industry, and spike the crime reports. Is that bigotry or hatred? No, it is a demonstrable truth.

A report by the Center for Immigration Studies revealed that children of immigrants compose the majority of the student population in 700 of the country’s largest school areas! No one knows how many are illegal. According to the report, “23 percent of all public school students enrolled in 2015 were from an immigrant household, compared to 11 percent in 1990, and 7 percent in 1980.” Even Senator Schumer can see a dangerous trend in that report.

But it gets worse. In large metropolitan areas such as northern Virginia, Houston, and New York City, “93 percent of all students are the children of immigrants.” That was 93%! Take that information as it relates to the public school system and extrapolate it to the welfare system, health care system, public libraries, etc. Obviously, there is a major train wreck in our future.

Concerned taxpayers should be concerned about illegal and legal immigration. Harvard professor George Borjas affirmed, “the United States has been granting entry visas to persons who have relatives in the United States, with no regard to their skills or economic potential.” He said that, “Immigrants today are less skilled than their predecessors, more likely to require public assistance, and far more likely to have children who remain in poor, segregated communities.”

The professor said that immigration is bad news for America’s poor, and that is supported when one understands that wages of U.S. high school dropouts have fallen 10% since the 1980s relative to the wages of more educated workers. Dr. Borjas declared that about a third of that decline is because of immigration. The empirical evidence strongly suggests that immigration is aggravating the problem of poverty according to Professor Borjas.

Furthermore, almost thirty percent of the immigrants now living in this country are of Mexican origin.

NBC News reported that the town of San Luis, Arizona has about 3,000 residents but has 20,000 post office boxes; but still stranger is the fact that most of those box holders live in Mexico! The reason for this unusual practice is because the Mexican citizens living across the border in Mexico use them as a permanent American address to collect public benefits from you. Are you surprised that you provide those benefits? Do you feel warm and fuzzy knowing that you go to work each day to support parasites across the border?

It is an obvious truth that if large numbers of Mexicans, legal or illegal, enter the U.S. it will relieve some of Mexico’s economic and social problems, but what will it do to America’s? How can anyone even attempt to defend the reprehensible practice of American citizens funding the policy of providing for foreigners, especially foreigners who break the law? Only pathetic people who worship at the shrine of global government would even attempt such defense.

The pro-immigration advocates tell us that immigrants don’t take jobs; they make jobs and pay taxes; however, while that is true in some cases, it is not true when one looks at the total picture. A report in August of 2004 revealed that illegals cost Americans ten billion dollars more than they pay in taxes! Professor Borjas suggests that the immigrants’ cash welfare benefits alone cost about $1 billion more than is paid by them in taxes annually.

Repeatedly we are told by pro-immigration advocates that Mexicans and others are needed to do work that Americans will not do–but a more correct statement is that they take jobs that Americans don’t want at the going wage! In difficult times, most Americans will take any job to put food on the table. I’m sure few Americans feel good knowing that illegal immigrants are working at entry level wages producing bigger profits for the agri-businesses.

It is long past time for America to take control of our borders as a basic responsibility. Public officials have a basic responsibility to keep out all non-citizens, arrest those now living here illegally, and demand that our friends south of the border stop playing the hypocrite and close their northern border. If Mexican officials have genuine concern for these immigrants, they could offer asylum to them and solve the problem for the immigrants, Mexico, and the U.S.

It’s past time to get started. If Mexico refuses to cooperate (and continues to encourage such illegal activity) then Trump should close Mexican consulates, restrict tourism into America and Mexico, and stop or reduce aid and trade with Mexico. Hit them where it hurts.

Americans have a major train wreck ahead at our southern border!

The message sent to every person: sincere refugee, thief, terrorist, or thug is “If you get here, you can stay,” so they come by the trainloads. And when they come, they are handed a bag of freebies: education, medical care, welfare payments, legal advice, etc. In that bag of goodies the illegals hope to find amnesty.

Hispanic extremists continue to raise the ante to get as much as they can; after all, we “owe” it to them. One sign demanded, “Give us FREE Health care, Jobs–no taxes, House, Food – You OWE us America! We will shoot more police in Arizona until we get FREE!” Has anyone but me asked why that person did not go to jail? Another sign demanded, “Citizenship for 11 million.” And citizenship means more Democrats to vote to guarantee all the freebies. And some Republicans are too stupid or cowardly to resist it. The pro-amnesty zealots have written what they call a “Bill of Rights for Undocumented Americans” in which they make their demands to U.S. officials.

They assume or presume that if people are present in the U.S. (even illegally) they have certain rights that must be recognized. They contend that since they are human, they have rights and, of course, that is true; but one of those rights is not U.S. citizenship. U. S. citizenship is a privilege not a right. Illegal aliens have the right to be treated fairly but firmly, even forcefully if they resist. They have a right to food and water but not the right to choose from a menu. They have a right to be photographed and placed in a data file; and upon their illegal return, they have a right to a cell. They have a right to be treated with dignity as they are escorted back to the border and not to be shoved too forcefully southward. But they don’t have the right to U. S. residence or citizenship.

Here’s an appropriate analogy: You have worked hard, saved, and finally built a nice home, not a palace, but a nice home. One evening a man walks in your unlocked door and asks for food and water. You are surprised and offended but kindly provide his request. As he eats at your table, he starts to watch television and moves to your favorite chair. You think he is being pushy but you want to be a thoughtful host. He stays all evening and when you suggest that it is time for you to go to bed, he asks where he can sleep. You don’t have a spare bedroom but he decides that he will take yours. After all, it’s a matter of humanity.

The next day he informs you that he likes the area and has decided to stay; however, you tell him that is impossible. You have your own life to live; but he demands that you accommodate him, even build an additional room for him. You are incensed but you do as he demands. Later that day he informs you that his religion requires special foods and he would like to have it prepared for the evening meal. He specifies no pork or shrimp and any beef or lamb must be prepared to exacting standards. He prefers to eat at 6:00, sharp.

He settles down in the new room you built at your expense but he tells you that he has some health problems and needs for you to get him a doctor–at your expense. Next, he is concerned about his future so he wants you to provide him a retirement program. He observes your frustration, anger, and resentment; and with a sinister smile, he suggests, “You should have stopped me at your front door.”

Only a fool would acquiesce to such free-loading tyrants. But that’s where the U.S. is with illegal aliens. They are here and they are demanding their “rights.” It is called their “Bill of Rights,” but it is only a start! They want any talk of building a wall stopped as well as talk about airline security since it is “chest-thumping rhetoric.” They arrogantly demand that everything is “on the table.” That means legal residency–citizenship.

The first demand is “Acknowledgment that we are already here, that we are human beings with a right to be, that our mere presence cannot be deemed illegal or our existence alien.” Well, just because they are humans does not justify legal existence in the U.S. Another demand is “Affirmation that we are to be treated with dignity and respect, not just because of who we are, but who you are.” Who I am determines how I react to freeloaders who don’t display much dignity, humility, gratefulness or respect for our laws.

Another demand is the “right to be presented with a path to citizenship… combined with interim deferment of all law-abiding Undocumented Americans against detention and deportation.” But there are problems in that criminals cannot become U.S. citizens. Plus, there are procedures that must be followed and requirements met. It is rather asinine for them to use the term law-abiding.

Still another demand is a “Guarantee of wage equality with a legal right to petition for wage theft or workplace mistreatment without jeopardizing our immigration status.” Maybe when pigs learn to fly in formation over the White House!

And another demand is “Assurance of humanitarian treatment, including medical care.” That just broke the bank.

It is my humble opinion that anyone who agrees with the above is incompetent, inconsiderate, or insane. It is similar to a lifeboat overloaded with survivors floating in the frigid Atlantic. The boat is just above water and a 300 pound man swims along and demands to be pulled aboard. Of course, everyone is compassionate, concerned, and contrite about his plight but they also know that if he is pulled on board, everyone drowns. He is left to drown because there was no other option.

Life requires very difficult decisions at times. This is one of those times: no more immigration for five years and no amnesty to law-breakers.

After all, the “boat” will only hold so many and if others climb on board, we will all go down with the ship.

No amnesty! It is divisive, destructive, dangerous, and deadly! And dumb!

President-elect Trump is on the spot by promising to handle the immigration problem. We will see if he has the character and determination to lead the Congress to keep his promise. He sure has a mandate to get the job done.

As the population expands, the cost of services must expand. More police, firefighters, health inspectors, schools, and teachers. If immigrants don’t pay their share, then legitimate taxpayers must pay the bill. Of course, adding new non-producing families does not always add cost to all government programs such as national defense, scientific research, spending on veterans, etc. Such costs are not impacted by any number of illegal immigrants; however, that would not be the case for fire and police protection and school teachers, and road repair.

If a citizen receives a benefit which he or she has not financed through taxes then someone else has had to pay that share. I caused a stir on national television when I stated, “If I get money I did not earn then someone earned money they did not receive. That’s thievery.” I added fuel to the fire by adding, “This nation of producers has become a nation of parasites.” Amazingly, the whole crowd stood to their feet and cheered! (And it wasn’t a Christian or conservative or political crowd.) Most people expect to pay their own way and consider it poor character if they don’t.

A few years ago, I was told by a post office official in San Luis, Arizona that their office has 11,200 post office boxes in a town of about 3,000 people because people living across the border in Mexico use them as a permanent American address to collect public benefits. Courtesy of YOU. Don’t you feel warm and fuzzy knowing that you go to work each day to support parasites across the border?

Since people migrating from Middle East nations, Mexico, and South America often have lower skills, they are more likely to request public assistance, gorge the public school system, overwhelm the health care industry, and spike the crime reports. Bigotry? Not at all. Just the facts. Did you know that 15% of California students are illegal aliens and they cost California citizens over 11 billion dollars per year for health, education, and incarceration!

Moreover, 25% of inmates in federal prisons are criminal aliens and are not in prison for being gatecrashers but for committing crimes in the U.S.! Furthermore, about 300,000 of all state and local prisoners are illegal aliens! You are funding them! Additionally, 75% of those on the most wanted list in L.A. are illegals. The following stats from the Foreign National Crime Information Center should sober any pro-immigration zealot:

• 83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens.
• 75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.
• 24.9% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals.
• 40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals.
• 48.2% of all inmates in New Mexico detention centers are Mexican nationals.
• According to the Government Accountability Office, 25% of prisoners in Federal prisons are illegal aliens who have been arrested an average of seven times!
• 53% plus of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens.
• 50% plus of all gang members in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
• 71% plus of all apprehended cars stolen in 2005 in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California were stolen by Illegal aliens or “transport coyotes.”
• 47% of cited/stopped drivers in California have no license, no insurance, and no registration for the vehicle and 92% of that 47% are illegal aliens.
• 63% of cited/stopped drivers in Arizona have no license, no insurance, and no registration for the vehicle and 97% of that 63% are illegal aliens.
• 66% of cited/stopped drivers in New Mexico have no license, no insurance, and no registration for the vehicle and 98% of that 66% are illegal aliens.

Furthermore, information in the FBI’s 79-page National Gang Report published in 2013, proves to any reasonable person that illegal immigrants are a major threat to all Americans especially, but not exclusively, along the southern border.

Foxnews.com reported that federal statistics reveal, “The estimated 11.7 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. account for 13.6 percent of all offenders sentenced for crimes committed in the U.S. Twelve percent of murder sentences, 20 percent of kidnapping sentences and 16 percent of drug trafficking sentences are meted out to illegal immigrants.” Those numbers even shock me!

But it gets worse! Foxnews.com continued to report that there are about 2.1 million “legal or illegal immigrants with criminal convictions living free or behind bars in the U.S., according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Secure Communities office! Each year, about 900,000 legal and illegal immigrants are arrested, and 700,000 are released from jail, prison, or probation. ICE estimates that there are more than 1.2 million criminal aliens at large in the U.S.” Sleep well tonight, friends.

According to the FBI, criminal gangs are wreaking havoc in the U.S., with 65 jurisdictions nationwide reporting gang-related offenses committed with firearms account for at least 95 percent of crime in those areas. Gangs are responsible for an average of 48 percent of violent crime in most jurisdictions and up to 90 percent in several others, according to National Gang Intelligence Center analysis.

The report further documented gangs in Southwestern border regions consisting of up to 80 percent illegal aliens were committing a multitude of crimes in America, “including drug-related crimes, weapons trafficking, alien smuggling, human trafficking, prostitution, extortion, robbery, auto theft, assault, homicide, racketeering, and money laundering.”

U. S. gangs consist of several types of groups, including street gangs, prison gangs, motorcycle gangs, and ethnic and organized crime gangs. Approximately 1.4 million people were part of gangs as of 2011, and more than 33,000 gangs were active in the United States.

Furthermore, criminal street gangs—mostly comprised of illegal immigrants—are responsible for the majority of violent crimes in the United States and are the primary distributors of most illicit drugs.

Now, build your case for immigration!

I remember an America where teachers were obeyed, respected, and even feared. We knew that if we received a paddling at school, we would get one at home. That was before the graduates of Columbia took control of our educational system. My three most respected and loved teachers were the ones who were the most demanding.

I remember when the Bible was read and prayers said each morning in the public schools. Today, the schools are nut factories often filled with uneducated, unprincipled, and uncaring teachers and rebellious, resentful, and raucous students. Some kids go on to college but only 55% receive a degree within six years and often that degree is useless. One reason for the 45% dropout rate is that most college freshmen read on a seventh grade level!

I remember an America when every high school graduate had basic knowledge about America, the world, and their obligations to work hard to make a good life. I remember when every student in elementary school learned basic math and historical events; about dangling participles and split infinitives; facts about government; memorized the Preamble to the Constitution, the Gettysburg Address, the Bill of Rights, the Wreck of the Hesperus, Inchcape Rock; and was familiar with Poe, Hawthorne, Coolidge, Irving, etc. And a weekly book report, written and read, was the norm.

I remember an America when men stood when a woman entered the room; when you tipped your hat to a lady; when you removed your hat when entering a building and would not even think of eating while wearing a hat; and when a gentleman always asked a lady, “Do you mind if I smoke?” Moreover, if a crude man carelessly cursed in a woman’s presence, he would often blush and ask to be forgiven. How quaint. And, even in West Virginia, smoking and cursing women were as scarce as white dinosaurs in Manhattan.

I remember an America when we walked quietly and respectfully by a home with a gold star hanging in the window. We knew that some father, brother, or son had been slaughtered on faraway battlefields with strange names such as Iwo Jima, Corregidor, Coral Sea, Battle of the Bulge, Anzio, Heartbreak Ridge, Inchon, Pusan, and many others.

I remember an America when we never locked our doors day or night and the iceman had access to our back porch icebox for ice deliveries.

I remember an America when neighbors bossed anyone’s kid around and even provided a swat on the rear when needed. This was before the fanatics at Child Protection Agency, trying to do good, took control and destroyed a vast number of families with the help of our culture.

I remember an America when families could watch any television show together and never be embarrassed. The most risqué show was when Milton Berle, dressed as a woman, hit other stars with his purse.

I remember an America when men–even myself–would shake hands on a $50,000 business deal and both kept their word–without a written contract.

I remember when there were boys and girls, men and women and if anyone had suggested the possibility of same-sex “marriage,” he would have been certified insane.

I remember an America when if a girl got pregnant (a very seldom occurrence) she was a shame to her family (but was not rejected) and visited grandma for a few months. The baby was often reared as a sibling or cousin or was adopted by a deserving family.

I remember an America when every life was sacred and it was a major shame, scandal, and sin if a woman had her own child butchered within her womb. And a crime.

I remember an America when a politician (who disgraced himself, his family, and his party) quickly apologized, resigned, and took the next plane or train to his backwater town to live in obscurity until his death.

I remember an America when you could discuss serious issues with people who believed the opposite yet still remain friends.

I remember an America when we loved our dogs, always stray mongrels; but when they got old or sick, we shot them and lamented it for a few days but realized that they were just animals.

I remember an America when parents were loved, respected, if not feared and the thought of talking back was never a possibility. I remember when your family name was almost sacred and the thought of bringing disgrace to it was anathema.

No, my America was not perfect but it was pleasant, peaceful, and proper and my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will only see some glimpse of it from their own family but not from the nation as a whole. So, I believe we should retain as much of old America as possible and we can do that without harming or offending other cultures or races.

However, old America is being challenged, changed, even crushed by Islamic and Hispanic immigration, legal and illegal. It’s time to demand that every immigrant swear an oath of allegiance to America then sing “America, the Beautiful” while they whistle “It’s a Grand Old Flag”—at the same time—with a mouthful of saltine crackers! All failures should be dropped off at the Mexican or Arabian Desert!

Well, maybe not that extreme but everyone should get the message: If you live in America, be an American (why else did you come here), or go back where you came from!

Boys’ new book, Muslim Invasion: The Fuse in Burning! was published this week by Barbwire Books.

Moreover, the DHS admitted on Jan. 20 of 2016 that about 500,000 aliens overstayed their visas last year and are living illegally in the U.S.! Michele Bond, assistant secretary for the Bureau of Consular Affairs admitted that U.S. authorities did not know the location of 9,500 of 122,000 who were revoked! That is dumb, dangerous and deadly! We should not be talking about amnesty but accountability.

Amnesty is a program pushed by pathetic progressives and loosey-goosey Evangelicals to legalize millions of illegal aliens giving them citizenship. Many of the migrants are diseased, deranged, and dangerous proved by 10,000 Americans being killed each year by immigrants. With the arrival of this vast number of people from other cultures, languages, and religions we are seeing a massive shift in American culture not seen in our history. Not only is amnesty dumb, dangerous, and deadly; it is divisive. Just watch the rest of this year.

My critics declare that I am unkind, unreasonable, even unchristian for opposing amnesty, open borders, and sanctuary cities; however, their charge is not based on solid reasoning or the Scripture. They twist the Scripture like a pretzel to make it fit their unreasonable, unconstitutional, and unbiblical demands.

We are told that the illegal immigrants are trying to escape tyranny and poverty so America should make room for them since we are a Christian nation. Well, first of all, only people can become Christians although a nation can become Christianized or influenced by the Bible. Secondly, almost all my critics and supporters of amnesty and unlimited immigration confuse what a person should do with what a nation should do.

All people who interpret ancient literature know that the first questions asked is, “To whom was this written?”; “Who wrote it?”; “Under what circumstances was it written?”; and “When was it written?” Evangelicals are not asking those questions because to do so would defeat their purpose.

Exodus 23:9 is usually used by the Bible-twisters to support their cause of amnesty; however they use a flawed hermeneutic to build their tenuous case. “Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” That chapter is dealing with a person’s obligation to be gracious–not national guidelines for treatment of immigrants. Of course, those religious leaders who use that verse know what they are doing but are being dishonest to give credibility to a very shaky principle.

Verse 3 proves my contention about this being a personal obligation not a national policy. That verse warns the ancient Jews (and us today) that “Neither shalt thou countenance (give approval) a poor man in his cause.” Moses was warning us about showing favor to a person because of his condition, whether rich or poor. We are not to be swayed by our emotions but by justice. The ancient maxim is, “Let justice be done, though the heavens should be dissolved.” I heard one of the great evangelists of the last generation say, “Do right though the stars fall from Heaven.”

Illegal immigrants have not done right. They resolutely broke our laws and crashed our gates and are forcing themselves in front of others who have followed our laws and procedures. There are four million people who are waiting in line legally. The illegal aliens refuse to wait.

Jim Wallis is president of Sojourners, (a leftwing religious/social outfit) and said that “Evangelicals finally realize that how we treat the stranger, these 11 million undocumented people, is how we treat Christ himself.” Jim must have been sleeping during his hermeneutics class in seminary because he did not get that from the Bible. Of course, Christians are to be kind, gracious, generous, and helpful, but that does not translate into being suckers, softies, and sentimentalists. We could really show how kind, gracious, generous, and helpful we are as well as stupid by emptying all our prisons! And the most hard core prisoners could move into Jim’s neighborhood.

Wallis went on to say that the leadership of the Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT), which includes the National Association of Evangelicals and the Ethics and Religious Liberty Convention of the Southern Baptist Convention, has “never been more united on an issue.” However, that is a little misleading. Of course, the feeble evangelical leaders are singing from the same page but the evangelical congregation is singing another song. The vast majority of evangelical church members want illegal immigrants to go home. A 2014 Pulse Opinion poll revealed that 78 percent of Evangelicals surveyed believed that the biblical command to “love the stranger” means “to treat the stranger humanely while applying the rule of law.”

The pro-amnesty preachers tell us that all people should be treated with dignity but you can deport someone and still show him or her some dignity. New plan: Deport with Dignity! Amnesty has nothing to do with personal dignity. Evangelical leaders would be wiser to listen to their members rather than rushing to the cameras trying to speak for them.

As for helping the poor and evangelizing them why can’t that be done in their home nations? After amnesty happens the wall will not be built and controls will be even looser. Then it will be too late. We are told that amnesty and even more immigration would be an incredible opportunity to win people to Christ without sending missionaries. However, Christ said to go into all the world and win them, not have some government send them to you thereby destroying your own nation in doing so.

Leviticus 19:33 is also used wrongly: “And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.” Again, the preceding verses prove that God was giving instructions for personal conduct by warning them not to consume blood; not to get tattoos or pierce their flesh; not to prostitute their daughters; keep the Sabbath days; not to be involved with sorcery and fortune telling, etc. Then He warned them not to vex a stranger living among them. In fact Moses went on to say that “thou shalt love him as thyself.”

Jews were to be kind to strangers because it is the right thing to do and it would be good for the strangers and good for the nation. Many visiting strangers came to visit Israel, were impressed by the faith, freedom, and fairness and converted to Judaism. New Testament Christians are commanded by Christ to treat others the way they want to be treated.

Exodus 23:9 tells us, “Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” But that has nothing to do with illegal aliens. Fuzzy-thinking preachers neglect to tell their congregations that the Jews were in Egypt by invitation and were not trespassers. In fact, they were special guests as long as Joseph was alive and a friendly Pharaoh reigned. They had not entered the land illegally as do modern invaders. The Jews were strangers in Egypt but not illegal aliens.

These verses do not apply to the immigration issue even slightly. Illegal aliens purposefully chose to break our laws, even arrogantly demanding entrance into our nation expecting to be cared for upon their arrival. They are not sojourners or strangers but scoundrels (with a few innocent women and children) and are being encouraged to break our laws by many leftwing religious groups, even some Evangelicals.

The international money speculator George Soros is sugar daddy to the EIT, a leftist group of Christian leaders that never saw a socialist scheme they didn’t like. Soros’ agenda, in addition to making money, is to promote every leftwing program especially transplanting Muslims into Europe and America. He is funding various religious non-profits to accomplish that task. According to National Review, EIT gets a substantial portion of its funding from groups backed by George Soros.

In early December, the EIT asked Congress to authorize more Syrians to be brought into the U.S. and evangelical leaders stood up and yelled, “Bring them on, even more to our shores.” On Dec. 16, 2015, Fox News reported that since 2012, Obama has brought 102,000 Syrians into the U.S. and given them permanent residency! And you thought it was only 10,000!

Amnesty, open borders, and sanctuary cities are destructive, dangerous, even deadly. It is time for Congress to put on their big-boy pants and stop Obama’s “Get Out of Jail Card” and his “Pass Go, Collect Welfare” schemes.
