Dear Rabbi,
Call it "conspiracy" if you want, call it George Bush's Mexicanic Complex, call it corrosive countrywide corruption in government circles, I don't care. What is, is (thank you, Bill Clinton). We have pols who have sold out the rule of law and their American neighbors. We have businesspeople doing the same thing.
The good news is that the real perps in this process are a decidely finite number--in the thousands--and if we want, when we have to, we can deal with them to save this nation. That day will come. Ajea jacta est, my friend.
We are not just going to absorb tens and tens of millions of people who care little or nothing for the values that produced America without, eventually, all hell breaking loose. What kind of hell that is is up to us and whether we are going to do the right thing or have things do us.
Rock on, padre.
