Guess who is uninvited and coming to dinner – Weatherford Democrat

In the Mel Brooks comedy, Blazing Saddles, the character playing a town official exclaims in what one would euphemistically call politically incorrect terms the preferability of certain ethnic groups in the town of Rock Ridge over others.

Specifically, Asians and African-Americans were more acceptable than individuals of Celtic origin.

National sovereignty is defined as the ability of a nation to be in control of its own domestic and foreign policy.

This is especially applicable to the control of a national border. For instance, you and I as individuals have the right to control who enters our domicile. Imagine if you will, sitting down to dinner with your family and a total stranger enters your house uninvited and sits at the table demanding to be served a meal. If you refuse the stranger claims loudly that your refusal is blatant racism and that the meal is a human right. Oh, and after the meal you are cajoled into providing a room for this person. Your house is now such a positive environment that this uninvited individual now brings relatives to live with you. These uninvited interlopers now begin to change your home environment to suite their own tastes. You and your family must now acclimate to their culture in various ways including the insidious adoption of their language even to the point of subsuming your own native tongue.

On a larger scale one can make the argument that this is happening to our country at the national level. The United States can no longer make the claim that we are a sovereign nation. We no longer have absolute control over who can sit at our national dinner table.

As I related earlier, Mel Brooks parody illustrates that all sovereign societies have the natural inclination to protect what is perceived as a cultural identity. This is not an issue of racism. This is an issue of sovereignty, national security, and the rule of law. The oldest objective of any government is to provide order or the rule of law. Without order the other ingredients of the trinity for a successful and productive society, freedom and equality, can never fully become reality.

The elephant in the room is the definition of the term immigrant. Liberals in their ongoing Orwellian efforts to hijack the English language obfuscate as usual, by using the term undocumented immigrant. I prefer the correct definition of illegal immigrant. U.S. immigration law, while admittedly convoluted, does provide a de jure framework for legal status, whether it be temporary or permanent residency and even a path to U.S. citizenship.

Very few incidents cause more consternation than standing in a queue and having an individual jump to the head of the line. Thousands of immigrants to the United States have patiently gone through the often tedious legal process to remain in this country. Yet, there are hundreds of thousands who believe that it is permissible to skip to the head of the line and become de facto immigrants circumventing U.S. law while claiming that to be deported under such circumstances is a violation of human rights. This new status quo is the result of an incestuous relationship between corporate business interests and the liberal agenda. In this Faustian bargain, Corporate America gains cheap labor and the political left increases its political voter base, thus creating the grassroots conservative viewpoint that there is no such thing as undocumented immigrants only undocumented Democrats.

Belatedly, from an historical viewpoint, the new Trump administration is attempting to carry out its Constitutional mandate and return U.S. immigration policy to the rule of law. The ban on immigration from Islamic countries, in effect a quota system, was an Obama administration initiative and so therefore from a counterintuitive perspective cannot be considered racist public policy.

President Trumps multitiered approach of deporting illegal criminal elements who have committed criminal acts against U.S. citizens, illegals who flagrantly and frequently violate civil statutes and laws, and illegals unlawfully employed by U.S. businesses, will create disincentives for illegals to remain in the United States.

Medical science also discovered belatedly that a fever in the human body is not a bad development. It is now known that our bodies are fighting off an internal infection by heating itself and creating a hostile environment to eliminate the unhealthy elements causing an illness. So it must be from the conservative perspective for the body politic of the United States. By creating an environment, in effect applying existing U.S. immigration law, that is hostile to illegal immigrants, sovereignty, public safety, and the rule of law may yet be restored.

As it now exists the status quo is a drain on our national resources in the form of lowering wages for American citizens, the ever escalating taxation to pay for social programs, welfare and otherwise, for illegals in this country; not to mention the exorbitant costs of public education for illegal children, especially in Texas. Most of us have personal household budgets that would quickly go into deficit and eventual bankruptcy if we had uninvited permanent dinner guests.

These views are not as some liberal commentators would have us believe bad nationalism. As a true patriot, I firmly believe that I am a citizen of the United States not a citizen of the world. Also, as a conservative citizen of color I believe that a true American is color blind and color conscious. As a minority of Hispanic decent and, according to the liberal imperative, my views cannot be considered as racist, I simply believe like the citizen of Rock Ridge that Americans should be able to choose who they want to invite to the collective dinner table within the framework of a pluralistic society and the rule of law.
