Uncontrolled Immigration Part 2. -Immigration in America - The Next Great Nation To Fall?
from Ramblings of an Old fart. -
The legal landscape for undocumented immigrants in the U.S. has shifted from a matter of "local tolerance" in the 1800s to a highly complex, federally dominated system today. The core tension in U.S. law is between plenary power (the government’s right to control its borders) and the 14th Amendment (which grants "due process" and "equal protection" to all persons within the U.S., regardless of status).It should be apparent to anyone with even a modest amount intelligence that we have an immigration problem. So, in this Part 2 of my podcast we will dive into the , how we got here, part. I hope I can impress upon Everyone how serious this is. Out of control immigration has destroyed countless countries, dynasties, empires over the centuries and our fate will be no different if we don’t fix it and soon, like tomorrow.It is historically accurate to say that the framers did not have a clear intent regarding "illegal" immigrants because the concept of an "illegal alien" did not exist in 1866. The first federal restrictive immigration law (The Page Act) wasn't passed until 1875.The Empire Parallel: This is exactly what happened in the Late Roman Empire, where the Foederati (immigrant soldiers) had a legal status within Rome but an ideological loyalty to their tribal leaders. Fuller argued that the 14th Amendment should be a "shield" for those truly committed to America, not a "loophole" for those just passing through for economic gain.
