A Playbook for Insurrection from a good ole country boy
Guest post from John L. Kachelman, Jr.
Another “win” for President Trump was announced: “A federal judge on Monday lifted an order preventing the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Afghans and Cameroonians in the United States.”
Consider ancient history’s lessons on today’s situation.
The impact of alien migrants in the fall of the Roman Empire is an interesting topic with frightening parallels.
In fact, students of history will quickly note that in the collapse of historic world Empires, their collapse came from “within” due to a number of destructive factors. The fall of the (western) Roman Empire is marked by the dominate impact of migrants allowed to enter. Entry came by slavery, employment, invitation, allowances to provide security, and marriage.
The initial Roman policies towards migration were commendable. The Romans were “inclusive.” They were open to immigrants under specific conditions. These were immediately integrated into Roman society. Immigrants were welcomed only under certain conditions. And those legally integrated were eager to throw away the old customs, dress and behavior so they would become “true” Romans. A strict policy governed the migrant—adherence to the State’s Laws, disarmed, expected to adopt Roman culture and Law. There was punishable intolerance for the idea that “diversity” allowed tolerance for culture, behavior and laws that were not rooted in Rome’s history.
However, a troubling fact is observed as in the middle of the fourth century AD, conditions outside of the Roman Empire’s borders. These harsh conditions caused increasing numbers of those not citizens of Rome to seek entry into the Empire’s borders.
During the late Empire’s history, records reveal a drastic change in the Empire’s attitude toward migrants. The Barbarian invasion and wars seized the empire and migrants posed a perilous threat (the Battle of Teutoburg Forest where Arminius led Germanic tribesmen to defeat three Roman Legions!).
In its later years the Roman Empire loss control, its security resources were strained, and its borders were “open.” Economic instability, internal conflicts, and a weakening military added to the Empire’s weakened position.
Eventually the migrants established their own policies, governing and authority that not only vied with the Roman Law but ignored and replaced Roman Law.
More history could be cited but ultimately the Empire was overcome. The western Roman Empire’s ability to resist the combination of migrations and other internal pressures were so compromised that by 476 AD, the western Roman Empire had basically ceased to exist as a unified entity. Many of its territories were governed by newly established Germanic migrant kingdoms.
Consider today’s situation in the United States of America.
We must not forget that we are indeed a nation of immigrants. BUT DO NOT FORGET this nation of immigrants became great because there was the desire to become integrated and submissive to the Constitutional Laws, there was an eagerness to defend our Republic, and a fervent desire to be a part of the “melting pot” where previous cultures, dress, laws, etc., were replaced by allegiance to our Republic and its governing Constitutional Law.
Today there is a disheartening reality…no longer is the migrant willing to be assimilated into the “melting pot.” No longer are conflicting cultures being abandoned. Now we are being told that “diversity” is strength—an absurd concept that only fuels division and thus weakness.
The illegal migrants have reached levels threatening our national security, and inevitably our national survival.
This is not fearmongering but historical fact. The absurdity of amnesty for the illegals is foolishness. This was done in 1986 with the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). This did nothing, but encourage, the flow of illegal aliens. It resulted in the fact that millions more saw hope for eventual legal status if only they could get inside our nation. How well did this amnesty work? How many more illegals are in our nation now than in 1986?
We hear advocates for “open borders” use emotionally charged lies to further their cause. We are being told that both sides benefit from the employment of the illegal immigrants. This is a re-run of ancient Rome’s advocacy that thought there was benefit to allowing the barbarians to enter the workforce.
The ideal of a “better life” is not a modern dream. The barbarians entered the Roman Empire in order to seek better lives. The Romans thought their economy would benefit from having the Barbarians in the service sectors. Today, we are being told that the illegals are doing jobs that Americans will not do and that our economy would suffer without low-cost labor? “Who will pick our vegetables?” is the mantra of the Open Border Progressive.
These observations need to be framed in the recent decision giving President Trump authorization to rescind and deport those who entered the USA via the TPS. Many played that policy in order to enter the USA. Even though it is “Temporary” they see it as an invitation for permanency—and they have no intention on returning to their countries.
Look at the TPS allowing hundreds of thousands of Somalis, Sudanese, Ukrainians, and other nationalities to walk in, receive State stipends, healthcare, employment, food and free lodging.
From Ukraine have come convicted felons. From Central America has come ruthless gangs. From Asia have come devotees to Mao intent on subverting the USA. And the list goes on and on. None were vetted. None were investigated to make sure they qualified under the TPS guidelines. These were just “waved through”!
We have foreigners given a CDL who cannot speak English. Those coming from Ukraine were given a CDL after passing the test in Russian. We have migrants working for trucking firms, food processing plants, and many other sectors. These are “illegally” employed but it seems few are concerned.
And they are not returning—their concept of “temporary” is not defined by the American English definition because they do not speak American English!
The TPS is broken. It needs to be fixed. How to accomplish this is difficult but not impossible. Immediately rescind ALL TPS and VISAS. Let those impacted apply once again but let it be with an interview system that fully vets each applicant. Those with CDLs need to qualify as “efficient in English.” Any employers of those with CDL that are not qualified with the English proficiency testing need to face severe penalties for their criminal actions.
President Trump and his Administration are trying to correct the trajectory that is bringing Rome’s demise to our great nation. They need to be encouraged and supported. We must understand that any opposition voiced against deporting illegals is opposition that is seeking to destroy our nation’s foundations.
We are at a crisis point. There is a clear and present danger threatening our nation. Rescind and immediately deport ALL TPS and VISA approvals and let each reapply and be legally validated as a suitable applicant in the program. The programs are broke—either correct or totally terminate these programs to assure the security and safety of our nation.
I read this quote and think it is on-target:
“The presence of millions of people who have no regard for our culture, who speak little English, and whose loyalties lie elsewhere is not a recipe for a healthy country. The prospect of taking action to legalize millions of immigrants and attract tens of millions more illegal aliens is a recipe for national suicide.”
Let us not forget the overarching Sovereign authority that announces: “There shall be only one standard for you; it shall be for the alien (stranger) as well as the native.” And then this somber warning: “The (alien) stranger who is among you will rise above you higher and higher, and you will go down lower and lower.”
