Nationalism:

* Devotion to the interests or culture of one's nation.

* The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals

The United States of America is rapidly becoming a faceless, cultureless place with no soul or sense of self. Our culture is being watered down by a new generation of immigrants, both legal and illegal, who refuse to assimilate into our society - and they're aided and abetted by elements within our own borders. Our sovereignty is for sale to the highest bidder, and our future has been mortgaged to foreign nations.

Our troubles are rooted in a variety of sources.

Impoverished illegal immigrants are streaming across our border with Mexico. While the vast majority of these people are only seeking work, a disturbingly large percentage of them were criminals before they violated our immigration laws. Murder and thievery by illegal immigrants (including the recent death of a US soldier just back from Iraq) are rampant in several states. While the federal government has taken a few stuttering steps toward border security, it has been far outpaced by the continuing influx of illegals.

Illegal immigration costs Americans jobs, holds wages down and creates numerous safety and security concerns. To put mildly, those concerns are not being properly addressed. Most illegal immigrants have no interest in learning our language, paying taxes or doing anything at all that benefits the nation. They take, but they rarely give anything in return. Simply put, they're parasites.

Authorities in counties along our border with Mexico have found irrefutable evidence that Muslim terrorists are entering our country from Mexico. There has been relatively little news coverage of this situation, and I find this fact amazing in a post-911 environment. One would think we'd regard this as an outright invasion.

Some would argue that the Bush Administration is taking positive steps to secure our border. Bush did after all sign a bill to build a fence on a whopping one third of our porous southern border. Keep in mind that as of this writing, funding for the fence is still in question.

And if Bush, in his infinite wisdom, is so determined to secure our borders, then why is he so eagerly pursuing a globalist agenda that would convert the USA into a state within a North American Union? You'd think that the rapidly disintegrating European Union would give him cause to pause on this issue. Bush has instead continued to move forward with his dream of open borders with Mexico and Canada. A unified currency, referred to by some as the "Amero" may also be in the works.

There are many reasons why our southern border has become such a multi-pronged thorn in our side. Both Republicans and Democrats are enamored with the Hispanic vote. The GOP knows that even with the growth of the black middle class, it'll never garner enough black votes to be a factor in an election. Republicans in general and Bush in particular see poor Hispanic immigrants as a source of cheap labor for American businesses, and many legal Hispanics regard any effort to enforce our immigration laws as being racist. With a significant minority of centrists and conservatives seeking alternatives to the Republican Party (as evidenced in the recent election), the GOP is hungry for voters.

Democrats have been courting the Hispanic vote for years. While there is a significant conservative element within the Hispanic community, the majority of Hispanic voters vote Democrat. And, with blacks gaining ground in terms of home and business ownership, the possibility of a rightward political shift, however slight, in the black community is a frightening prospect for Democrats who have for decades taken the black vote for granted.

Why else would so many liberals oppose definitive reform of the voting process? Why would liberals object to the notion of photo-identification to verify a person's right to vote? All the while, the Left screams about voter fraud while making certain that anyone can vote - legally or otherwise - as long as they're voting Democrat.

The two major political parties are deeply engaged in a power struggle. What we see on the news is most likely the tip of a much larger iceberg. The continual leftward drift of our government, regardless of which party is in power, is a strong indication that a larger agenda lies buried beneath the surface. The parties may be locked in a struggle for control, but I suspect that struggle to be more about perks and donations than ideology. The plethora of scandals involving money-grubbing politicians and lobbyists is a good indication that I'm correct in this assumption.

Speaking of money, how did we reach a point in which foreign interests own more of our national debt than we do? In 1995, foreign nations owned twenty-five percent of our national debt. That number now stands at fifty-three percent. This makes our economy more vulnerable than ever to foreign interests who on a whim might decide to take a shot at crashing our economy.

Add to this the fact that the Bush Administration and a number of state governments believe it's just fine and dandy for foreign interests to own and/or operate American highways. I don't object to foreign investment, but some things - like our infrastructure - should be off-limits to foreign ownership.

There is no greater example of America's growing dependency on foreign interests than our hunger for imported oil. Thanks largely to Bush's ill-conceived plan to Americanize Iraq, we are now faced with the prospect of Iran positioning itself to control the export of Arab oil. If we fail in Iraq, if we leave Iraq without a strong, America-friendly government in that war-torn nation, Iran will be quick to move in and take control. Saddam needed to be ousted, but surely there must have been a better way.
