Last September President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, was asked about the problem of porous borders and the millions of people coming into the U.S. illegally. The journalist asked Dr. Rice, "Why can't we put troops on the border with Mexico or build a security fence as the Israelis have done?"

Rice gave the usual platitudes about how well we are working with the Mexican government to change drug and immigration problems or threats posed by terrorists arriving through the border with Mexico. She promoted spy-in-the-sky technology. But no more boots on the ground in the form of National Guard or Border Patrol.

Story Continues Below

  After being pressed, Dr. Rice went to the heart of Washington's intransigence on the immigration and border issue. Rice mused that cracking down on the borders by inserting troops or undertaking really serious efforts at regulation would harm commercial interests and transactions with Mexico. An increase in numbers of illegal aliens was not a problem with her.

Former Secretary of Department of Homeland Security Tom Ridge stated last year: "At the same time, international trade continues as the economic lifeblood for the U.S. economy, with United States trade in 2000 with its Canadian and Mexican neighbors alone accounting for $653 billion. By 2006, international trade volume with all countries will top $2 trillion. As Secretary Ridge explained, the specter of terror must not stop the wheels of trade from rolling."

In fact, Rice and former Ridge were only following the Department of Homeland Security Mandate and Bush Administration policy, when they have made such statements. The establishment and the Bush White House refuse to view the invasion through Mexico as an issue more important then trade or commerce. In fact, ultimately it IS all about trade, commerce and the globalization process. Those are the reasons nothing will get done to change a chaotic immigration or visa policy, nor will anything worthwhile be done about borders out-of-control. .

The Bush, Ridge and Rice viewpoint and resulting policy approach may be found in various mission statements, reports, studies, DHS rules and regulations and even the 911 Commission Report itself. It is undeniable, the needs of commerce, trade and labor migration trump national security. Dr. Rice and ex-Secretary Ridge are only mouthing the party line, as they understand priorities in D.C.

As the November-December 2003 issue of The Clause, the quarterly publication of the Boards of Contract Appeals Bar Association states, quoting from the law creating the Homeland Security Department:

As one of its primary missions, the Department has the responsibility for "Securing the borders, territorial waters, ports, terminals, waterways, and air, land, and sea transportation systems of the United States," as well as "Preventing the entry of … instruments of terrorism into the United States." PUB L 107-296-402. However, the task of stopping terrorism must not choke off trade as the Department must balance the countervailing responsibility of "ensuring the speedy, orderly, and efficient flow of lawful traffic and commerce."

Globalized Insanity

It is beyond comprehension that Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush and Tom Ridge don't understand that most LEGAL trade and goods entering the U.S. come in through distinct approved entry points. The flow of legal goods, trade and commerce and legitimate human traffic do not creep or skulk into the United States via unfriendly deserts, across the Rio Grande, through Pipe Organ National Monument or trespassing on Indian Reservations. Legal goods and people don't climb security fences or race through small border towns and back roads chased by Border Patrol. Neither does legal traffic in people or products arrive in small, unregistered aircraft crammed with illegal Chinese flown by a Mexican trafficker in human beings.

Legal activities do not include shooting at Border Patrol or invading private property or trampling the habitat so enshrined in national culture. Neither does it involve traffic in drugs illegally through our southern borders. As it is, 80 percent of illegal drug traffic from all over the world arrives illegally through Mexico.

Every year billions of dollars in drugs and millions of Mexicans and others from around the world come in through our unsecured borders. The current leadership has got to believe we are a bunch of ignorant blockheads to fall for the idea that enforcing the borders is going to harm trade and commerce if it comes into the U.S. LEGALLY through proscribed entry points.

When President Bush mouths cliché's about how these invaders are just hard-working good-hearted folks trying to get here so they can take jobs Americans don't want, he is exhibiting extreme naivete or knows the facts and doesn't care.

Illegal migrants who work cheap, don't make demands, or are scared they might be caught are displacing America's working poor. They shouldn't worry too much about being caught. Usually they are released almost instantly. Those who commit felonies fill up local and state prisons and the federal government passes out billions to keep them incarcerated. Mexico doesn't take them back. They let us pay for their crooks and ours.

Given the lax nature of the legal system and the big money made by immigration lawyers and judges, plus the billions that go into the SCAAP program which are passed out to local law enforcement institutions, no wonder there has not been a revolution on this issue until now.

Additionally, surely President Bush understands the guest worker amnesty didn't work in 1986 and it won't work now. Promises made to send lawbreakers back and fine or imprison employers, who break the law, were only paid lip service for those few caught. By the way, there are already guest worker programs in place. They don't help. Employers PREFER illegals because they don't have to pay taxes or social security for them. Many work less than 120 days a year, and more come in all the time.

Don't they get it in D.C.? Or are they so arrogantly obtuse they refuse to admit the problem. Guest worker programs are not the answer because guest worker programs already exist and they do NOT prevent illegal migrants from jumping the border.

Guest workers aren't guests; they filling every unskilled and skilled job particularly since the really huge invasion began in the early 90s. No longer do they merely pick the strawberries; they have also taken over skilled crafts, carpentry, brick laying, painting, masonry, dry wall, roofing, and landscaping. They have moved into state and federal highway construction and any other job that requires a few or no skills.

Thanks in no small part to the failure build into the NAFTA Trade Agreement, the 1986 amnesty; we now have 4 to 5 million illegal migrants coming into the U.S. every year. Although Bear Stearns Financial estimates the total number of illegals is 20 million.

Noblesse Oblige on Our Dime

On February 5, 2005, the Washington Times reported, "Since Oct. 1, agents assigned to the Tucson sector, which includes the border stations at Douglas, Naco and Nogales in the highest alien- and drug-trafficking corridor in the country, have been assaulted 80 times, nine involving shootings. Responsible for a 260-mile section of the Arizona-Mexico border, the Tucson agents are being assaulted at a rate of two every three days in that period, more than doubling last year's total.

"The continuing increase in the number of assaults being directed at our agents is of great concern," said Border Patrol spokesman Andy Adame in Tucson. "We believe the vast majority of these assaults are directly tied to alien and drug smugglers based in Mexico."

There is NO will to increase Border Patrol or advance realistic border security. There is no will to create more detention facilities to house detainees. There surely is no will to reform the corrupt immigration and visa disaster.

Nonetheless, there is money in the budget for everything else. Journalist Robert Spencer reports that while in the Middle East, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice proposed a pension fund for retired jihad terrorists. If they promise to give up their mayhem and bomb throwing, the U.S. will provide them with $100 per month. President Bush suggested that Congress send $41 million as a starter fund to transition mass murderers, suicide bombers, nuts, or wily con artists who pledge not to blow themselves and others to smithereens.

The administration ignores the fact that most of the jihadists are children of the elite, civil servants, doctors, lawyers, and oil money, in other words the upper crust of the Middle East. Obtuse doesn't begin to describe the Bush-Rice plan for ending jihad with a $100 per month bribe.

Then of course there is $350 million the U.S. is going to give to the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority once headed by Yasser Arafat, took the money and bought homes in Paris and stuffed the cash in large bank accounts in Switzerland while he and his thugs killed large numbers of Israelis, Americans and his own people. Nonetheless, hope springs eternal in the naïve breast. The Bush Administration won't let experience or discernment prevent them from giving money to the brand new whiz-bang Palestinian Authority headed by Abbas.

There has also been an increase from $350 million to $950 million for tsunami victims. There is an old saying "charity begins at home." As our experience in the past has shown, there is more than an even chance that a large portion of the funds set aside for tsunami victims is being funneled into the pockets of the corrupt governments of Indonesia and the island communities hit by the tsunami.

We can't continue to play Uncle Sugar to the world when our own house is crumbling from lack of attention. If the U.S. bankrupts itself, a deficit in the trillions, and can not retain its sovereignty or guarantee its borders, there will come a time Uncle Sugar will be in the poor house, not able to help during natural or manmade disasters.

The specious arguments the administration offers for their failure to do anything concrete on immigration reform or adding Border Patrol are the same kind of reasons why no one saw 911 coming. Lack of imagination, failure to connect the dots and act firmly when terrorists or illegal aliens break U.S. laws is part of government failure.

Thus failure of the will to national survival goes beyond party lines. In the 90s, decisive action by Bill Clinton might have burst the stock market bubble or impeded commerce; therefore, Clinton did not take resolute action against border jumpers OR jihadists.

There is an official and collective blindness in both political parties and government itself. They are unwilling to address the twin issues of the horrific immigration/visa mess and it's Siamese twin, "free" trade policy. This circumstance is nothing short of criminal. American assets and strength are being eroded because of the double-dealing that drives these policy failures.

The 9/11 report stated that simple things like tightly regulating visas, attention to detail by bureaucrats, and border control, might have prevented 9/11 entirely. It was, after all, student, business or tourist visas that were used by 19 hijackers to kill more than 3,000 people. They used aircraft to blow up buildings, but failure of visa and immigration policy gave them the keys to the aircraft. Visa and immigration failures were the ultimate channel allowing them into the U.S. in the first place.

Simple actions to regulate visas would have had little impact on the flow of goods, people or money into the U.S. Such measures should have been enacted by the Clinton administration and certainly by George W. Bush when he came to power. But that would have muddled their vision of the brave new one-world-fits-all based primarily on a materialistic vision of commerce and its needs.

The Bush immigration and border policy were recently on display. Absurd reasons for failure to provide 2000 more Border Patrol agents per year for the next five years were provided. They say there isn't enough money to do the job. Although Congress mandated 10,000 more agents over 5 years the Border Patrol will only get 200 more. Agents of the Border Patrol tell us that won't even cover attrition. The Border Patrol will end up smaller than it is now even with an increase of 200 agents. As it is, our establishment and ruling class ought to know better than to tolerate the migration of millions of illegal aliens, (good-hearted law-breakers) into the United States.

They should understand the continuance of rampant drug distribution coming through Mexico is killing our society and our children. Meanwhile, they give little if any thought to the thousands of potential terrorists, gang members, child molesters, rapists, identity thieves, walking cases of TB, leprosy, Chegas, Dengue, HIV or Hepatitis, that are arriving daily.

How they can ignore dozens of documented cases of Mexican army and police invading border towns as they protect the "good-hearted" lawbreakers, drug runners, etc. is beyond me. Yet our leadership tells us all is well as long as trade and commerce are not impeded. Frankly, it is a raw deal on all fronts, economic, political, spiritual, and constitutionally.

There are also those who continue to insist that illegal immigrants pay more in taxes than they take out in services - THEY LIE. That includes many talking heads for various U.S. Catholic Archdiocese charity or social agencies around the nation. As a Catholic, I warn them they have forgotten charity does not mean you "help" somebody by dumping them on the generosity of others, the taxpayer, or condone breaking the law in order to fill church pews. There is a point you when you take from the rich man and give to the poor until nothing is left for either of them.

In every single major recent study including Center for Immigration Studies, Rice University, U.S. Census Bureau data, Minnesota Demographic Center, CAWS, NAWS, Harvard's George Borjas, Northwestern University Study on the economic impact, I can provide a dozen more, illegal migrants and often legal immigrants, take more from the system in social services than they put back in taxes.

That does not make them bad, that only makes them poor and easily manipulated by venal employers, compassion industry, and the cranks running U.S. immigration policy. Charity, my rear end! At least not for immigrants already here, native poor of many races, OR the U.S. taxpayer.

Shame on Catholic, Lutheran and other religious or secular charities that use myth, half-truths and outright lies in order to advance whatever cause or frightful law breaking they engage in as they apply some silly concept of perverted justice. Their social action is certainly NOT just to the U.S. citizen or taxpayer, legal immigrants, the working poor, environment, or infrastructure. It is an unworthy violation of the rule of law.

But most of us have figured that neither political party nor the leadership and that includes social agencies and church groups, give a damn about simple justice for those already in America. A constitutional republic has been replaced by a global corporate viewpoint that promotes trade and commerce at any cost. Meanwhile, it has the added benefit of appeasing the diversity cultists, socialists, and phony charity groups that have an axe to grind.

From Shining City to Blade Runner

The Bush White House and Senate intransigence regarding border security and immigration and visa reform is really about open borders, migration of labor from the Third World to the U.S., deconstructing the nation-state and creating a regional trading state to replace the nation-states of Canada, Mexico and the U.S. It is part of the post-Cold War strategy defined by the elite as globalization.

Cloaking this policy in noble rhetoric, they incorrectly compare the people tsunami the U.S. is enduring with past immigration. Noble rhetoric, nonetheless, is not enough to absolve the illegal and actual intent of our ruling class.

Neither is the cliche "They just want to feed their families and take jobs Americans don't want." The Bush people and the Congress know that pretext is a crock; if they don't they are dull-witted and uninformed or they have all been lobotomized. Most likely, they are totally content with our deconstruction and destruction in the name of globalization. They prefer a world system based upon secular materialism as a panacea for revamping the human condition as they attempt to remake the world into some economic/political elitist wet dream.

The U.S.-China Security Review Commission has the best definition of globalization I have seen. "Globalization refers to creating a unified global economy through breaking down barriers between national economies. It encompasses the increased integration of national goods, financial and labor markets and internationalization of global supply chains. In labor markets it manifests itself through increased labor migration and movement of production to labor markets that are the most cost effective in terms of wages and working conditions." (My emphasis)

Globalization begins with regional trading states, Mexico, Canada and the U.S. formed into an economic trading unit as part of the North American Trade Zone to compete with the EU or the Far East. Integration of economies, of course, includes migration of significant numbers of the world's people from undeveloped nations to the U.S. Leveling down of wages of American workers is part of the double-cross.

It is probably the main reason this administration refuses to do what must be done to reform legal and illegal immigration.

In any event, many conservatives see the failure to build needed detention centers to hold illegal aliens, reducing immigration on all fronts, the failure to hire more Border Patrol, or place National Guard or federal contractors on the border as part of the globalization process. While we pay federal security contractors in Iraq from $120,000 to $160,000 per year to defend or train Iraqi police and stabilize their borders but can't find funds to pay to do the same thing in the U.S. The failure to protect the physical integrity of the United States is a wicked and shortsighted policy.

Economic and financial interests have always been involved in the process of building America. For the most part it has helped to make the U.S. a hugely successful economic powerhouse. Notwithstanding, there have been instances when corporate interests were antithetical to the best interests of the United States. Prior to World War II, American corporations like Standard Oil, Ford, IBM and at least a dozen other American companies helped advance the rise of the Third Reich.

As the Truman Commission discovered in 1942-43, the business of American business on occasion, had very little to do with loyalty to the United States and everything to do with the bottom line. Trade and commerce and making money were placed above all other considerations and rationalized as business as usual.

These days, transnational corporate interests are super involved in formulating U.S. foreign and economic policy. In the process they are deconstructing and remaking the U.S. itself. Now you can believe this is an anti-capitalist viewpoint. For me it is a necessary recognition that we must care more about U.S. interests and those of its citizens and taxpayers, and be less concerned about advancing corporate or economic interests at great cost to our security and freedom. If we don't get a clue soon, we are going to be STUCK with socialism or fascism, or an apocalyptic marriage of both. The elite used to call that marriage the "Third Way." Personally, I think it is fascism with a smiley face.

Best Government Money Can Buy

Through campaign contributions, commercial interests control much of the direction in which Congress and Washington lurches. That is particularly true of the U.S. Senate and those who might run for president. As far as I can tell, the U.S. Senate is deeply in hock to the Fortune 500, hotel industry, banking and financial houses, PACS, construction and real estate, foreign governments, pharmaceutical companies, and agri-business.

This connection is not constructive capitalism or even good economic or industrial policy; this is a corrupt marriage between corporate interests and the State.

Current U.S. Senator from Minnesota Mark Dayton seems to be the unusual honest Democrat. Dayton decided not to run for the Senate in 2006. He stated he could no longer stomach the demands of fund-raising required to run for national office. Getting and keeping corporate or PAC funding is not worth it. Apparently, he believes fund-raising is a full-time job that cuts into what he was really elected to do.

Dayton refers to PAC money as special-interest money. Regarding fund-raising, "I just hate doing it – calling somebody I've never met before and saying, ‘Hi, I'm Mark Dayton, would you like to give me $4,000?"

On most issues I agree with Senator Dayton only 5 percent of the time. But the fact is, big money does control who gets in and stays a U.S. senator or runs for president. On that topic I am in total agreement with Senator Dayton.

Among the fastest-growing influence groups in Washington are foreign commercial or political interests living in the U.S. Often these are corporate or corporate academic entities promote entrance into the U.S. of foreign high tech workers or students. They are complicit in the U.S. government hand out of work or student visas, investor visas or diplomatic visas to be used by those from India, China, or the Middle East. It is part of globalization. It is also dangerous for U.S. economic and national security interests.

In the case of China, there are a host of geopolitical motives that play into our reckless bent for handing over technology or jobs or increasing visas or immigration from China. Aside from Hispanic migration the next largest ethnic group entering the U.S. are Chinese.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government has U.S. commercial interests promoting their improved status, often at our expense. (Read the 2004 U.S.-China Security Review Commission report to Congress to get the gory details.)

Not surprisingly, commercially backed think tanks such as Heritage Foundation disagreed with the tenor of the report but provided no evidence to refute its conclusions. The only conclusion possible is that transnational corporate entities and our government have sold us out foolishly thinking that commerce is going to turn nationalistic China into a good world citizen which will go along with us on a host of issues.

Meanwhile, when it comes to our national economic or security interests the economic and ruling class is more interested in short term gain than long-term advantage. They are more interested in advancing regional trading states than American interests.

By and large, building up China at the expense of the United States is rationalized away under the flag of "free" trade at any and all cost. In his wonderful expose on U.S.-China economic and political relations, businessman-journalist Ethan Guttman, says the best front for the Chinese government and business is the American Chamber of Commerce and U.S. business interests. ("Losing the New China," Spencer Press, 2004.)

Unfortunately, China isn't our only problem with respect to influence peddling and profiteering by our ruling elite. The largest group promoting ethnic economic interests in the U.S. Senate is the India Caucus. The India Caucus is composed of members of the U.S. Senate who are given money for their campaign coffers or trips abroad.

The goodies are proffered by wealthy Indian business interests or Indians living in the U.S. The trade-off is that legislators are expected to deal out increases in work or student visas or job opportunities, usually at the expense of American workers and small business.

One of the big lies told by the India Caucus is that promoting Indian interests helps create more jobs in America. Yes, for Indians and lobbyists. While many Indian companies have hired token white bread CEOs or top management, at the programmer level many of the companies find no room in the Indian Inn for the American graduate of DeVry or University of South Dakota School of Business.

By the way, there are many more Democrats in the caucus then Republicans. Democrats are no longer the party of the workingman – unless he lives in China or India.

It galls me that Beltway dummies continue to grease the skids for foreign and domestic commercial interests as millions of jobs are outsourced to India or China. Meanwhile, they push for more immigration in order to keep down wages of those jobs we do have. Then they wonder why the economy is stagnant, or think it is swell that we have a $600 billion dollar trade deficit that amounts to 6 percent of the Gross Domestic Product.

Where is the angst about few well-paying jobs being created except in the low-paying service sector and most of the increase being taken by immigrants, legal and illegal? They are not concerned that we don't make things any more and have become a service economy. Even as many service jobs are leaving the U.S. as well, they just don't get it. There is no cognition that when you don't make things or create and innovate, you do not advance. There is no real requirement that schools keep math and science as social theorists and educrats dumb down even our bright kids.

Where is the ruling class or corporate concern that wages and quality of life for scientists and engineers are far less than they deserve? Meanwhile, the corporate and federal task seems to be importation of thousands of workers from overseas through work or student visas. As America can pay lawyers millions and watch as over 2 percent of the Gross Domestic Product is wrapped up in litigation and pay scales for lawyers, we play stupid economic games with scientists and engineers. That being the case, we ARE a nation in serious technological and scientific decline.

Creating more lawyers or government bureaucrats is not going to support this economy or maintain the U.S. as a superpower. If we export our investment funds to build Chinese military and manufacturing and ignore our own, we are on a collision course with an enemy and we are supplying the rope he will use to hang us.

U.S. companies no longer invest much in new capacity here at home. As a consequence, the ranks of homegrown scientists and engineers are thinning. In fact salaries have dropped by about 3 percent in just a few years. Even American high-tech people are often booted out of a job when they reach 40 to be replaced by Indians or Chinese with no better skills. The newbies will often work for less, work 12-hour days, weekends, don't take vacations, and make few demands of any sort.

The number of American young people going into high-tech sectors has decreased because wages are down and jobs available are more often than not going to foreign workers. The outright failure of American education is part of the BIG picture.

However, if industry and state government put their mind to it, the problem could have been solved much the way the Japanese do. The Japanese invest time and money in training and educating people with potential for skilled or technical crafts. I know this is true because my middle son is one of their successful investments.

Free trade or the "market" didn't bring his Japanese company to the U.S. in the mid-1980s. President Ronald Reagan imposing Section 201 and 301 of the 1979 Trade Act on Japanese interests was the MAIN reason for Japanese companies setting up shop in the U.S.

The Bush people and Bill Clinton talk a lot about creating a level playing field for American business and workers. Ronald Reagan did something about it and got slammed for it by the "libertarian" Cato Institute. He didn't adhere like some stupid cultist to economic theory that no longer applies. Reagan did the right thing, the smart thing. President Bush, Cato, Wall Street Journal and the rest of the promoters of theoretical or corporate interests do not.

A Price Too High

A recent issue of Businessweek, "China Price," concludes: "Meanwhile, China is emerging as the most competitive manufacturing platform ever. Its assets include cheap labor, from $120-a-month production workers to $2,000-a-month chip designers. Even in sophisticated electronics industries, where direct labor is less than 10% of costs, China's low wages are reflected in the entire supply chain – components, office workers, cargo handling – you name it."

American business is being advised to move offshore to keep costs down. The long-term cost to America requires rethinking economic and trade policy before it is too late.

But if Alan Greenspan and the Bush White House are waiting for economic growth that isn't dependent on tax cuts or Americans refinancing their homes and working three jobs to pay for high consumption, they will be waiting for hell to freeze over. Ability to buy cheap goods is not a good enough reason to GUT the entire economic system.

Plus we are replacing quality with quantity. Sooner or later, buying "cheap" goods at the expense of improving the lot of the middle and lower working class with higher wages and benefits is simply not worth it. Running a trade deficit of $600 billion, which will climb to over a trillion in two years, is irresponsible. We are bingeing, with foreign money financing our consumption.

What we really need is investment in concrete capital, plant and labor, not merely more cheap goods at Wal-Mart. Eventually there will be a price to be paid, and the cost will be far higher than our leaders are willing to accept.

But the ruling class just doesn't get it. You can't subsidize transnational business with hordes of cheap foreign labor, downsize your industrial base, cheapen comparative advantage of high-tech workers, send investment dollars abroad, allow wages to remain stagnant for blue-collar workers, and expect to grow the economy. As a matter of fact, Americans are working and producing better than ever, but it does not help when an invasion of cheap labor keeps wages, working conditions and benefits in the toilet.

Sadly, it is becoming common for Americans to go from high-paying jobs to jobs that pay half of what they were making. To add insult to injury, they still pay too much in taxes, are overburdened with regulations, pay more for basic services, oil and cars, medical care, fees, state and local taxes, and home prices. But, hey, we sure can buy cheap electronic goods or pottery at Wal-Mart.

Have our leaders lost all reason and responsibility? What blindness and deceit drive them to continue the madness? Installing border controls or placing troops along the border is not going to prevent legal goods or people from coming in, just as weigh stations for trucks on U.S. highways haven't ended all commerce for all times.

The world hasn't come to an end at grocery stores or banks because we have to present an ID to cash a check or answer questions to ensure that we are not insolvent or going to break some law. Meantime, we pay federal contractors huge dollars to police and do support jobs in Iraq. Why can't we pay them to do that on our borders?

Not for one minute do I believe noble feelings or goodness are motivating our leaders to continue as they are, not with all the evidence of the harm their "charity" is inflicting on all of us. There is no mercy in any of it. Instead they have chosen to worship a hollow god, a golden calf, a national and world vision that leaves out the best of what makes us human. They fail us as a nation, and for that they deserve to be thrown out of power and replaced by those who will at the very least live up to the Constitution they swear to uphold.

There have always been trade and commerce. Nonetheless, only once in man's history has freedom of the individual, God-given rights, the rule of law, and the right relationship between the individual and the State ever been as close to complete as in the United States of America. Only once in human history has a large middle class existed free from the oppression of a feudal over-class or a privileged government class.

In Dante's "Inferno," the ninth circle of hell is reserved for those who betray, corrupt or deceive their family, comrades or country without a just and good cause. The cause of materialistic globalization and the darkness at the heart of current immigration policy are not good enough reasons to betray this nation, its Constitution, and its people.

All the facts and figures on which I based Part IV may be found in Parts I, II and III of the series. Other references I will pass along on request. Also thanks to those who supported me with information they passed along on the vital issues of immigration and globalization. I am not a conspiracy nut by any means. I do believe, however, there is an effort being made by our elite, along with those who have no allegiance to anything except themselves, including the establishment of both political parties, to neutralize or destroy us as a nation. While they blithely go about it, they believe they are doing God's work. That is what makes them so very frightening and that is why this nation is in great danger.

Next: China and the Golden Mountain.
