We bring many refugees into our country. The whole of the problem with immigration is letting people in who want to drag their country and ideas with them. Some tradition and approaches to life are, to be sure, going to be a part of the way they live. It’s the reason they came here that matters. Is it for a better life? Isn’t that the only reason to come to America? The problem arises when immigrants want to drag their slavery mentality with them.
Freedom to think, do with your life what you want, and subject yourself to the natural law of God is the only reason for coming to America. This is the problem with the slaves that were brought to these shores. Dragging them from a the slave culture in Africa wasn’t the problem. Rooting them out of their homeland and bringing them here was the problem. Blacks were forced to leave everything they ever knew and settle in a land of white people. Eventually blacks had to adapt to America, ponder the freedom it unequally offered, and decide how to cope with the resentment that permeated their thoughts. Some by “chance” found the gospel of Jesus Christ and the peace that passes understanding. But many were held back by their peers chanting “Uncle Tom” threats and by physical and mental abuse which held most at bay.
Under the yoke of slavery many slaves were not the hardest workers and why should they be? After emancipation they became freemen and demanded more money for their labor beyond what was normally paid. Whites resented their world being turned upside down. Now blacks were free but the resentment remained and it is still a problem today. Blacks were akin to the refugees of today. Refugees of every stripe see the West as the reason they are refugees and this attitude gives them the desire to tear down the country that gives them so much opportunity. Somehow destroying America is the answer (an answer supplied by the left) to right the wrongs of America.
Offered in trade for freedom is the total control of government which can issue rights to these victims. Freedom has become the scape goat of for the ills of society. While offering no examples of success, government control of everything is touted as the only answer. At this writing there is some opposition to globalism. Whether there is a temporary moratorium on stupidity will remain to be seen. Long term we certainly are on a road well traveled.
