America is burning
I
was talking to a friend the other day, about the 4th of
July only being a short time away. I asked him, what he was planning
on doing on the 4th of July.
He told me he didn’t know if he was going to celebrate or
mourn. I said, “What do
you mean?” He replied,”
Don’t you know America is burning?” When I look around, and I see
all the problems this country is facing, I feel like I am watching
our country die. Yes;
America is in a state of decay, and it is disintegrating like
Ancient Rome. We live in a country that no longer has any religious
or moral values. What
was once considered wrong is now considered right, and what was once
considered right is now considered wrong.
Our values have made a complete turnaround.
It wasn’t too many years ago, this was one of the greatest
countries on the planet.
Look at all the
scandals we have seen in the last few years. We have the IRS
scandal; NSA spying on everyone, the Benghazi attack, the VA letting
hundreds of veterans die, while waiting for health care.
We have a President that just traded five top Talban leaders
in GITMO for an American deserter.
We have a President, who will not enforce our immigrations
laws. The President
arrogantly tramples on our laws, hobbles our economy, and seems to
aid our enemies. The Government wants to control more and more
aspects of our lives. I
realize; we have a lot of freedoms and rights that a lot of
countries do not have.
However; as I look around, and I see the corruption and lawlessness
of our government and the trampling of our Constitution; I can see
our rights and freedoms quickly slipping away.
Of all the problems this country has, I have chosen to only
write about the one that is going to have a huge impact on every
person in America. The
Obama Administration has opened up our southern border to let in a
torrent of illegal immigrants into our country.
They are coming
in from Mexico, and Central America.
Many of these illegal immigrants are children unaccompanied
by an adult. Why are
thousands of people coming to America?
First of all; President Obama has failed to keep his oath of
office to protect the Constitution and uphold the laws of the lands.
He refuses to enforce our immigrations laws.
Second; the newspapers in Mexico and Central America have
advertisements in them, telling the people there, the United States
has an open border. The
advertisements entice them to come with promises of food stamps,
welfare, and amnesty. Third;
they are encouraged to come here by human traffickers, who charge
thousands of dollars to bring them across the border into the United
States. Our government has been busing the illegal immigrants from
the Texas border into Arizona, and dumping them out.
They are flying them to Massachusetts and other states.
If I took a child across a state line and dumped then out,
and just left them there, in one hundred degree heat, I would be
arrested by the FBI. I
guess it is alright for the Federal Government to dump children on
another states door step, and just leave them.
The economic impact of medical care, education and
incarceration of illegal immigrants is forced upon the taxpayers,
and it may bankrupt the state of Arizona.
One thing the Politicians are not talking about; is the
tsunami of invisible travelers coming across our border with these
illegal immigrants into this country.
They are bringing in all kinds of diseases. Some of the
diseases are dengue fever, hepatitis, malaria, measles, chicken pox,
whooping cough, parasites, and tuberculosis.
Many of these diseases
spread like wild fire when kids are housed in close quarters.
Most of these preventable diseases have been eradicated in
the United States through vaccines.
Many of the children coming across the border have never been
vaccinated. We may have
huge out breaks of these diseases, which will put a huge strain on
our medical systems. If
they continue to let all these people in to our country, we are
going to have a huge humanitarian disaster.
It is going to cost our country, the tax payer, billions and
billions of dollars to feed, house, clothe, and cover the health
care cost for all these illegal immigrants.
The way our government works, we will be giving them
everything, while people who have lived here, and who paid taxes all
their lives go without.
There is no doubt the United States has an enormous mountain of
major political problems, and it is in a state of economic and moral
decay. Yes; America is
burning!
