Joseph George Caldwell writes: Why would a nation such as the US deliberately adopt policies that make it impossible to defend the country from even the simplest attack? Why would the US allow millions of immigrants – both legal and illegal, from all cultures – to enter the country? Why would it choose to adopt a policy of open, porous borders? And then, incredibly, why would it claim that an attack by terrorists was totally unanticipated? ... In the case of the terrorist attacks against the US, however, the US deliberately adopted a suicidal policy of mass immigration from anywhere in the world, even though virtually no other country in the world does such a thing. (If you call up the embassies of most countries – particularly those of countries / cultures that have existed for a long time (e.g., Japan, India, China, Germany), they will laugh in your face if you tell them you wish to immigrate to their countries.) And it cannot be argued that this policy was adopted because it was better for the US – the quality of life has dropped dramatically in the US since the 1950s (the Immigration Act of 1965 is the legislation that allowed mass immigration to the US). Responsible people, such as Senator Sam Ervin of North Carolina, argued strongly that these policies would destroy the US’ cultural identity, to no avail. The country is headed down a path to balkanization and disintegration, for no good reason. America’s suicidal immigration and environmental policies will destroy it, but even as it falls, you will hear its leaders exclaim, “Why, we could not have possibly anticipated that we would be destroyed by terrorists.” Fifty years ago, a foreigner stood out clearly in our population. His culture, language, religion, and often his race were clear markers of his foreign status. We were, to a large degree, a culturally homogeneous nation (e.g., as Japan) of 150 million people. When Japan declared war on the US, it was a simple matter to round up all Japanese living in the US and place them in internment camps. Now, it is impossible to tell aliens from citizens, and there are millions of foreigners on our soil and working in our businesses and government. The US population is now almost three hundred million, and half of them are from recent immigration. Through its mass-immigration and open-border policies, America has deliberately made itself highly vulnerable to total annihilation by a few hundred suitcase bombs containing nuclear weapons.
