ILLEGAL ALIENS: A BROADER VIEW
49I am come to send fire on
the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? (Luke 12:)
First, before beginning this piece, I want to
establish the fact I believe we have to live according to our present
situation. We can't consider past wrongs or rights in order to make
judgement as to what we must do now in order to uphold peace and
safety. This established, I would just like to toss my two cents worth
into the well of controversy.
If anyone has read my other
contributions they know that I like to take the broad view, and to mix
in other sides of an issue in order to stir up thought. I'm not after
controversy, but rather a well-rounded understanding of any given
subject. I thought this might be a good place to put that attitude into
practice.
Illegal aliens are a bane to
any society. They do not fit in to the structure of an existing
civilization, and by necessity they must work on the fringes of the
society they have entered. America is unique in that it gives certain
protection and benefits to illegal aliens, often receiving benefits
that legal aliens and natural born citizens can not obtain. I believe
this has been changing in some parts of the country, but it apparently
still exists.
I stated that Illegal aliens
are a bane to any society. Often times the illegal alien is not only a
bane, but in fact a parasite. It's unfortunate that this be so, but is
so nonetheless. Let me give you some examples:
In 1492 a Portugese trader,
explorer came to America by mistake. In just a few short years many
different counties sent their illegal aliens, their soldiers, their
excess prisoners and outcasts, and their ne'er-do-wells to this new and
distant land.
Eventually these illegal
aliens, who at first befriended the current native society, began to
destroy their hosts and to subjugate them. Not content to merely
destroy the existing society, these many illegal aliens turned on one
another in order to try and control the land.
Eventually one of those
nations of illegals won out.
By 1776 the people under
that winning nation felt suppressed, and threw off the reigning nation
and formed a nation of its own. Now there existed a nation within a
nation. However the superior and the larger of the nations was not as
organized as the tiny settlement of illegals that resided amongst them.
In a very short time this
colony of illegals began to feel hemmed in and wanted to expand. So
they bought a huge section of land from another parasitic nation that
had illegally acquired this land from those they had settled among.
However, in order to possess the land, these new illegal aliens had to
fight and kill the existing "real" owners of the land, who had not
agreed to this new sale and acquisition.
Like a cancer, illegals do
not remain content to confine themselves in one area. It seeks to
expand itself into the best available parts. When a new discovery of a
better place is found, the parasite heads for that section and takes it
over.
In the early 1800's Anglo
people began to settle in the Mexican region now called Texas.
Eventually these peaceful parasites decided that they wanted to be a
part of the Anglo north instead of the Mexican south. So, they decided
to turn the land that was not theirs over to a nation of people who
governed a land that was not legally their own. As the illegals grew in
size, in number, and in power, the legal citizens became impoverished,
demoralized, and pushed on to reservations of land no one else wanted.
After Columbus discovered
this new "virgin" land, settlers, conquerors, and priests began to
penetrate and take over land in the west and in the south. The citizens
of the land became slaves and outcasts in their own country. Then, like
Texas, these new illegal aliens decided they wanted to be a part of the
expanding country to the north, and through much effort and violence
broke off the land from those they had settled amongst and turned it
over to the growing illegal parasite to the north.
Within a very short time
this expansion of illegals had taken over the Oregon territory, then on
in to Alaska.
Illegals had long before
supplanted the legals and had made themselves the legal citizens, while
the once legal owners of the land had become the illegals not allowed
on their own land their ancestors had held.
My question is: How do we
deal with the illegal aliens? And, just who are
the illegal aliens?

A footnote.
No country is without a
history of conquest by illegal aliens. "All have sinned and come short
of the Glory of God." We are selfish people, and we will take whatever
we can from whoever we can and in any manner in which we are able. We,
as Christians are to resist this natural tendency. As a nation, we are
not only unable to resist our natural tendencies, but have proven over
and again that we have no desire to overcome our selfish nature. The
piece above is merely an external and obvious evidence of this. What we
have done through our history is especially atrocious when we consider
that we did it under the guise of being a "Nation under God." We behave
as the worst of criminals and fly the flag of Christ.
What can we expect from a
nation who now rejects the authority of our Lord, and even denies His
existence?
31For
if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
(Luke 23:)
