Immigration was the first “school of individual responsibility” at my time your will be under temporary resident status for 5 years, here we will show that we don’t need any support from the government, we will work, we will pay our taxes, go to school, learn American government and civics and learn to write, read and speak the English language and…..

Now… If you are illegal, you get special treatments, free lunches, free medications, resident tuition for school and more….
I did legally what the system asked me to do, in response our lawmaker are ready to punish me by giving path of citizenship to invaders, law breakers, gang members and more. Did you know that we may be signing the National Anthem in Spanish very soon? You better be ready.  The other day I witnessed the Pledge in Spanish, I was not too happy about it.

I still remember those days that one of the blessings that the Lord will give you was to be recognized as an American Citizen…Those were times of pride, joy and loyalty to our new country.

Yes, Angelo, THEY are going to let it happen.   That is our problem, we falsely belief there is someone out there to rescue us when clearly those with the power to do their job and fulfill their responsibility are not going to do anything.  Everyone is too busy figuring out what to do which will work POLITICALLY and MONETARILY for their best interest.

   Think about the fact that in the past how many brave people sacrificed their one life (there is no greater sacrifice) for what they believed in - our country.   Now we have officials who are afraid to do anything lest they be accused of being called racist.   Remember the old addage about "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me".   Well, apparently words like "racist" are too big a chance to take for our cowardly representatives.  They abdicate their responsibility to protect their own position, their income, their "comfort".   So while other brave souls gave their lives, our VERY WELL PAID "representatives" are representing no one but themselves.   So, we seem to be morally bankrupt.   Too many of us have put our blind faith in some great mystical/unseen protector.   We think nothing bad can happen to us, we are, after all The United States of America.   There is another saying "Pride Goeth Before a Fall" and I think that is where we are.   We are so sure (so proud) that just because our freedom has survived this long that it is guaranteed to continue but there is no guarantee except that if we do nothing, as we appear to be, then this once-great country that offered the best chance for freedom ever, is going down.   Many "great" civilizations before us have fallen and we are fools to believe that we are immune.

  So what is the answer?    It is a source of great frustration to me is that some of us spend a great deal of time worrying about this country and TRYING to awaken the sleepers among us.   The sad fact is that the majority rules.  And right now the majority are smugly happy and comfortably asleep.   Their apathy is going to take us all down.

  Maybe that is where "peace" lies, or at least some measure of relief is to be found.  Accepting that we tried and failed.    We cannot force people to listen, to be alert, to THINK.   So perhaps my energy would be better put toward finding whatever measure of peaceful times, however limited, to be with my family.   The problem is I cannot turn off my mind and each day I see clearly our future imperiled, the safety and future of my family in danger, and I can do nothing.   That is a hard "pill" to swallow.   Sometimes, despite all the best intentions and will in the world, there are no happy endings.

My sister,

Since I arrived to this sacred and lovely Land. The first lesson of our Founders Fathers still leaving with me "Individual Responsability" and leadership with "Integrity" and the permanent protection of our Lord.

You are right, people have forgetten both, Individual responsabiltiy and integrity, that means we AMERICANS no longer have an identity....I am sad, to see our freedoms going away. On the next few weeks the cost of AMERICAN citizenship for illegals will be leas than a flat TV, criminals, gaing members and invader will own that title. Our Lawmakers will let that thing to happen.
