MBP reader Clark posted this at Argentine survivalist Ferfal’s forum. I thought it worth republishing on the blog:
The Real US Border Fence
People seem to be focused on shoo-ing away the hands that reach out for free services rather than questioning the re-distributionist idea itself – the idea of forcibly taking from one group and giving to another that started and still maintains the whole illegal immigration fiasco (not to mention the Al Capone-like environment created by bad laws).
What do people think happens when a store gives out free steak? Do they think people won’t show up in numbers and come back for seconds and thirds and hang around for more?
Rather than complain about (and take positive steps to end) the Free Steak Give-Away provided by the taxpayer, people focus on those who reach for the steak and the way they reach for it. Don’t get me wrong. People need to get mad as hell. But they need to focus on the true cause of the illegal immigration problem.
There’s a huge lack of clarity about this that needs to end. Does having a driver’s license mean a person knows how to drive? No. Obviously not. The same holds for immigration too. Documentation means nothing in the big scheme of things. Just look at the behavior of the fully legal American banksters who continue to do what everyone finds so repulsive. Obviously, it’s not legality that defines the morality or justice of anyone’s behavior.
On top of everything else, lawmakers are now talking about making a separate helot caste through Florida law. Don’t people realize that these sort of things have a tendency to expand and include everyone except the ruling class?
We don’t need an increase in tyrannical laws. We don’t need the the Berlin wall on America’s borders.
The notion that crime rates are specific to certain groups is misleading too. It’s not any particular group that’s the root cause of the problem. Just as an example, look at the black community in the U.S.A., prior to “goberment” stepping in and taking the place of the head of the household. Before “goberment” assumed total responsibility for it (and, eventually, for all of us), the black community, especially in the DC area, was made up of highly literate, low-crime, tightly-knit strong family units with a religious foundation – just the kind people like Rush Limbaugh long for.
Forgotten history, I suppose, and perhaps the result of the Soviet-style subversion of education in America via “goberment” schooling.
So sure, people need to get mad as hell about illegal immigration.
But let’s also get mad at what’s really behind it.
Good post….
For those who have read Atlas Shrugged, this is the idea behind the manufacturing town that destroyed itself due to it’s socialist policies.
When you make one group of people responsible for the food, clothing and shelter of another group . . . you create resentment.
