Well, considering both major political forces in America are essentially of the belief that America no longer has a right to her sovereignty, I do not think there is a real solution. The current GOP "solution" is no solution. It is only an admission of defeat that instead of coming from the Democrats will come from the GOP. It is amazing to me that there is no real champion in this country for our American legal system. The GOP claims "amnesty and legal rights for those who disregard American law, but without citizenship." While the leftists claim the GOP plan insufficient-- that full citizenship is required too. This is all going toward citizenship for millions of people who at the outset don't have respect for a system of laws to which they are to be ever loyal. It is ridiculous and it is happening because America is no longer a nation bound by ideals. Today, people come here to maintain greater loyalties to other nations and other peoples. Speaking generally, the legal hispanics here push largely for "immigration rights" (i.e. the right to trespass) because they have loyalties to their immediately former and ancestral homelands that trump their loyalty to the ideal that America has an innate right to her sovereignty. As this group gains greater numbers, politicians begin to seek their votes not by celebrating with them their privileged position as members of the American family, but by supporting their foreign loyalties. This is not to slam Hispanics. I certainly understand their plight. It is to slam the fact that too many Americans, hispanic and otherwise, have lost perspective on what is most important in this country. The thing that binds us is being destroyed. In the past, illegals in America had no rights because they did not respect the law. No one, liberal or conservative, had any hesitation about admitting this. Those who came to America legally, came to embrace the law that governed the country; and they wanted their relatives to come here legally to enjoy the same benefits they themselves enjoyed. There was a foundational respect for the laws of the country (despite the criminal element they, like all groups, brought with them). It was a respect that governed the actions of everyone. That respect obviously does not exist with large numbers of recent "immigrants," who in reality are nothing but trespassers. The entire basis of their tenure here is founded on the destruction, the wholesale disregard of our system of law. Today, even those sworn to protect that system are openly encouraging its destruction in order to get votes and "save the party." So, given this unfortunate state of affairs, I really don't have a solution. The One World System has to happen, and this is about as good a way as any. Perhaps the GOP has it right - that if anyone is to "benefit" at all from the destruction of our system, it ought to be the GOP, even if it means the eradication of our principle of respect for American sovereignty and law.
