They did not cheat the system. Most came to the United States with little money or formal education. Many came without fluency of the English language. But they worked hard to overcome barriers. They fought wars for this nation. They built this nation. They sacrificed many things for the chance that their children could live the American Dream.

But for many years, the route towards U.S. citizenship has been an easy one for illegal aliens, who have been permitted to cross the U.S. border by Washington. As discussed in America’s Financial Apocalypse, this was arranged by Washington as a manner by which to mask the three-decade period of declining living standards.

Today, illegals organize protests against any mention of the nation's intention to protect its borders. This is a disgrace. These individuals should be round up on the spot and deported. How dare illegal aliens; individuals in direct violation of federal law, protest the established laws of the U.S.

That friends, is a direct slap in the face of all U.S. citizens of every race and ethnicity. Yet, most U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent line up with their illegal counterparts to take part in these rallies because they see themselves as Mexican first and American second. In my opinion, such a mentality represents a threat to national security.

Washington insists that illegal aliens do the work that Americans refuse to do; of course, because employers have lowered the wages for construction, farming and other industries so low that Americans cannot make ends meet. And they have lowered these wages because they know illegals will take the work. The only beneficiaries of this are contractors and businesses, who become very wealthy in exchange for slave labor.

Meanwhile, the downward pressure on wages has displaced millions of Americans, who have been forced into welfare. Why work for slave wages when you can sit on your ass and collect welfare, right? Can you blame them?

Washington’s misguided immigration policy is of course related to other destructive policies such as affirmative action, which has severely damaged America’s competitiveness, as discussed in America’s Financial Apocalypse.

How can any nation expect to remain competitive with the rest of the world when it’s handing out jobs and academic scholarships to less qualified individuals based on race?

The laws of the universe dictate that you cannot cheat the system. As it applies to this situation, America will pay a huge price for Washington’s criminal negligence. Already, we are seeing this materialize. Congress has authorized inclusion of illegal aliens into the nation’s fragile social Security system.

This is just the tip of the iceberg I can assure you. The contingent liabilities faced by future generations due to this irresponsible policy by Washington is certain to drag the United States further down on a more permanent basis in exchange for short-term benefits.

As many of you are aware, foreigners have been crossing the Mexican and Canadian border for decades in order to ensure their offspring are granted U.S. citizenship. Many women even cross the border while pregnant.

This has not been restricted to Mexicans. In Canada, it is well-known that many others cross the border prior to giving birth so that their children will receive U.S. citizenship. Many times, these births occur at the expense of tax payers.

It won’t be long before the voting majority will be largely comprised of American citizens whose parents were in violation of federal laws. These will be the people who determine elections. This will result in the theft of America.

With an estimated 12 to 18 million illegal aliens in the U.S. (some estimates are higher), you can imagine the potential transformation that is likely to occur over the next few decades if something is not done. Just recently, we saw a prelude to this when the U.S. Census made a push to encourage the participation.

Hispanic communities across the nation organized their own push to encourage participation so as to ensure they received more economic benefits. In many parts of the country, they even ran televised ads that basically said, “the more of us that are counted in the census, the more money we will get.â€

Until Americans wean themselves away from the lifestyle choices that have led to the demand for cheap---usually immigrant---labor, simple laws of economics will continue to promote this.
