The Fight Is On

There is little doubt in my mind as to who will win this battle. I am amazed (and pleased) that District Judge Hanen is willing to take on the Executive Branch of the U. S. Government and the Justice Department, but he has. The issue is almost always framed in relationship to the struggles, poverty, political instability, etc. of the immigrants. The impact (think jobs, schooling, temporary placement, cultural competition, language, etc.) of the immigrants on the United States is not normally part of the question.

It would appear that very few American citizens oppose immigration per se, but many struggle with the influx of illegals crossing the borders (North, South, East, and West) in droves.

A South Texas judge has ordered an injunction on U.S. President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration that permitted millions of undocumented immigrants to stay in the country. “The court finds that the government’s failure to secure the border has exacerbated illegal immigration into this country,” the opinion by U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen reads.

Finding the right balance between immigration and maintenance of our (read: U. S.) unique culture is critical. It sometimes appears that we are building additional “third World” communities, and “foreign culture” communities within our own cities and States. The highly vaunted “multiculturalism” of which so many speak is the very tool which has literally destroyed previous societies (if you doubt that, read World History).

As Believers we have a responsibility to share the Gospel with every person on Earth. We must reach out to those who are part of the illegal alien underbelly of our society. At the same time we must stand against all illegality. We must maintain our culture at all costs if we wish to continue the great experiment began in 1776. To say that “we are a nation of immigrants” is only valid if we understand and accept the mandatory nature of cultural assimilation. That appears to be ending, and we will cease to be America when it is gone.
