The Fall of America?

The Fall of America?

By

America is facing a major crisis.  Our nation has endured for two hundred and forty two years.  That is a pretty good run for a nation. But we may be facing our end in the near future.

At one point it was unthinkable that the Roman Empire could come to an end.  The Roman Empire endured for 1,000 years!  And then it ended.

For all its faults, the Roman Empire was, at the time, the pentacle of civilization.  Yes the Emperors, beginning with Julius Caesar, had dictatorial powers, and there was slavery, but there was also a Republic with a Senate.  The Roman Empire cherished justice, even if it frequently failed at delivering it to all its subjects.  After its fall, European people’s longed for it’s return for centuries, and made many attempts to restore it.  In fact, its fall marks the beginning of the so-called “dark ages” in Europe.

So, what happened to the Roman Empire.  Much has been written on the topic.  Certainly, the rise of moral decay was a major contributor.  But one of the major causes was uncontrolled immigration.

The Roman Empire began to absorb Goth refugees from Europe.  These Goths that simply showed up, became known as “Visigoths” (Western Goths).  These Goth’s did not assimilate into Rome.  They did not cherish the things Roman’s cherished. Law, Justice and a Republic.  They did not want to become Romans, and as soon as their numbers were great enough, they began to take over, and destroy Rome from within.

Today the United States (and Europe for that matter) is faced with a similar fate.  America is absorbing uncontrolled immigration, much of it illegal, from migrants who do not share American values.  Many of them are from Islamic nations, and surveys show that they would support brining Sharia law to America.  

 Others are from Latin American nations, where their economies have been destroyed by socialism, and every indication is that they would bring more socialism here. 

Now a caravan of thousands is headed for the US border like a band of Goths headed for the Roman Empire.  Will this be our end as well?
