Former United States President Teddy Roosevelt offered this observation: The one absolute certain way to bring this nation to ruin would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities. How different our nation would look today if we had heeded the wisdom of Teddy Roosevelt.

We have to be real proud of our leaders, past and present, who mindlessly and recklessly lowered the barriers for illegal entry in 1965, and again in 1986 when over three million illegal aliens were granted amnesty, thus broadcasting the message that our nation now welcomes any and all!

Today, the promises of yet another amnesty for perhaps 20 million illegal aliens already on U.S. soil, sends an even more ominous message encouraging untold millions more to follow. Now, with their rapidly-growing numbers turning up the volume on their demands for absolute equality, their bold-faced impertinence triggers a backlash of resentment toward their pushiness!

As bonafide U.S. citizens, we have every right to be bitterly upset with our weak-willed leaders and their profit-crazed corporate cohorts who have planned and executed this monstrous sepop out of the public trust! One must hope, however, that we have inherited some of the spirit and determination which inspired our forefathers — a spirit which could, once again, surface in our hearts and minds for salvaging what remains of our freedoms, our independence and our national sovereignty! Teddy, we could sure use you again!
