Uncontrolled Immigration Upsets Societies

** CAUTION:  Unhinged DeviledEgg Rant! **  

The west has grown slack, and the vandals are dismantling our culture...

Anti-Immigration anger got out of hand in southern Italy, as all situations do when governments fail to carry out their responsibilities.  While we should condemn the (relatively tame) violence in Southern Italy (BB Guns were the weapons used), can't we also open our eyes and see the logical progression that led up to this lamentable event?

Unbridled Immigration is a Recipe for Disaster!

Cultures do clash.  The wider the cultural differences, the bigger the clash. I respect Pope Benedict's defense of immigrants.  We must defend their human rights, and any violence against them is way out of line and should be criminally prosecuted.

But where is the respect for the host country, its laws and the cultural norms of its citizens?  It's not a fundamental human right to breach borders and upset the traditional order.  Immigrant invasions end up satisfying no one, producing cultural strife and anger on all sides. 

Welcome to the 7th Century!

Unassimilable bigots have brought us honor killings, cartoonist menacing, and enraged rantings over religious slights that Christians and Jews simply shrug off on a daily basis.  Their criminal treatment of women leaves the average American male chauvinist pig blushing with inadequacy.

Are we supposed to passively stand by as our cultural rug is pulled out from under our feet?  Hell No!

A Nation has a Right to Set its Own Immigration Policy

It is not a fundamental human right to invade my country, and it is not racist or bigoted to pick and choose who comes in.  It's self preservation.  If you're foaming at the mouth and hate our freedoms, you can't come in!

Our refusal to do our own dirty work contributes greatly to this problem
Real welfare reform would see those on the dole doing jobs "Americans just won't do."  Take away the food stamps, and hunger will become a great motivator.  Also, there was a time when college kids did farm work and bussed tables to pay for their education instead of daddy and Uncle Sam going into hock to pick up their tab...
