Illegal immigration, as well as the current status of our borders, represent the largest threat to the American way of life in the U.S. today. If these problems are not addressed and resolved soon, I am afraid that we will lose not only our national identity, we could lose the republic all together.

In 1776 our nations founding fathers gathered in Philadelphia to draft our Declaration of Independence. Our statement to the world that we were a sovereign nation without any obligation or allegiance to England. They were then made to demonstrate their belief in the new United States of America on the battlefield. Through the blood spilled by the first Americans, security and sovereignty were established.

To further protect the people and the people's rights. In 1787 again our nation's architects gathered in Philadelphia. This time to draft our Constitution, which was then and is now, to be regarded as the supreme rule of the land. In 1789 the Constitution was ratified and our government was born.

It very clearly states in Article 4, Section 4 of the United States Constitution; "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them from invasion."

We the people are being invaded by a hostile and destructive force. A force that depending on where you get your stats, number somewhere in between 12 and 35 Million. These should be regarded as hostile invaders based upon their complete disregard for our laws, our tradition, and even our language. It is all too clear to anyone that cares to notice, that our government is failing us. The Founding Fathers knew the dangers of large oppressive government, but they were also made aware of the dangers that can arise through anarchy and the lack of government. Truth be told, the U.S. Government fills some of the vital needs that a nation must fill to survive. Unfortunately, politicians seem to have forgotten their oath to uphold our constitution. They now speak for the very few, while their actions effect so many.

At this very moment there are people crossing our border. People that have not been invited and should not be welcome to step foot on our soil. Due to their effort to remain fugitives and secret in their affairs. We have no idea what their intentions are, or where their allegiance is sworn. We can not (As we have already) continue to show complacency towards invaders that refuse to make known not only their presence, but also their motives with regards
