A Patriot’s view of the history and direction of our Country



                   sides of the mouth.  The former is best begun with some brief

                   history.  In the agricultural areas of our country, immigrants would
                   legally enter the United States and work the fields.  This was

                   temporary and seasonal.  It was a process that worked for decades.
                   This began to morph into year-round agriculture and outside the

                   agricultural areas as legal immigrants stayed and violated their
                   temporary work visas.  Federal laws also changed, which served to

                   only exacerbate the problems.  These changes impacted worker
                   immigration for other parts of the country and non-agricultural jobs.

                   It became a national issue that reached a critical mass in the 1980’s;
                   an amnesty program was developed and enacted.  It did not solve

                   the underlying issues and further exacerbated the problems.  Today
                   we have a significant national illegal immigrant population that lives

                   in poor conditions and receives sub-par wages.  This is financial
                   enslavement.  It hurts not only the economy, but the illegal

                   immigrant workers and their families.  They do come here for the
                   better life that our Country can and will give.  The Parasitic Cult that

                   continues to pander by enslaving them with unearned taxpayer
                   funded government handouts only serves to further indenture them

                   to society and the government.
                       Our Country has been a land of immigrants since the first

                   foreigner set foot on the newly discovered continent.  That should
                   not change, and is not going to.  Our Country is a nation of laws, and

                   those laws are to protect our Country and citizens.  Having open

                   borders, which when not enforcing current laws is the equivalent, is
                   also an issue of personal, national and economic security.  As
                   provided in this chapter, we cannot economically afford the costs
