What bothers me most is infiltration of the American electorate so that in years to come
when either the alien intruders or their progeny vote in our elections,
thay will drag the nation toward the left,
away from personal freedom,
away from what remains of the free market in
laissez faire capitalism,
and
toward the welfare state, so that thay can and will use democracy to parasitically rip off
financially successful Americans, by application of collectivist principles.
This woud cause an end of the
free America that began with the American Revolution.
To a lesser extent, I am concerned with the infiltration of Moslems,
thru an insecure border, for more sabotage similar to 9/11.

I doubted that when I grew up, but it seems some did come over on rafts. (Set will tell me if I'm right or wrong,
but I was jolted when I saw that, that they were just telling.) As it happened in later years,
my father and my uncle were good at sea.
I 'm not a nautical person. I 'm not going to go as far as to say that coming on a raft from Ireland is absolutely impossible,
but
it strains credulity. I don 't believe that rafts have much aquatic stability; no rudder, either.
