Former Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal hit the nail on the head when he said, "Immigration without assimilation is invasion.” Today, we’re witnessing the disintegration of Western Civilization by infiltration. Duped into believing that it’s xenophobic not to roll out the red carpet to mass illegal immigration, the West has opened the floodgates to its invasion by the Red-Green Alliance—radical communists and militant Islamists. Granted, Marxists and Muslims make strange bedfellows, but they’ve joined forces to fulfill a mutual objective; namely, the destruction of Western Civilization. Both Marx and Mohammed’s followers are hellbent on world domination and see the destruction of Western Civilization as a means to their shared aspiration. While they will eventually have to square off against one another, since atheistic Marxism and Allah worshipping Mohammedanism are mutually incompatible, for the mean time they’ve joined forces in their mutual animosity against their shared archenemies, Western capitalism and Christianity.

Western Civilization stands head and shoulders above all other civilizations in all of human history. It does so because it was founded upon the Bible, not upon the Communist Manifesto, which serves as the foundation of all oppressive communist states, or the Koran, which serves as the foundation of all oppressive Islamic states. Whereas the most free, influential, enlightened, industrious, and prosperous civilization of all time was built on Christianity, all communist states are built on atheism, and all Islamic states on a false religion. Why then, should we allow fifth columnists to invade and infiltrate Western Civilization with either the Koran or the Communist Manifesto under their arm? Truly, to do so is not only insanity, but also suicidal. 

The West once understood that defective national security leads to national disaster and that open borders turns one’s homeland into a foreign land. We were taught this by the Bible, which warns us of the possibility of foreigners among us rising up over us and becoming our overlords and us their underlings (Deuteronomy 28:43-44). According to the ancient Prophet Nahum, when a country opens its borders to its enemies it burns down its gates; that is, it erases its borders and opens itself up to being overrun and overthrown (Nahum 3:13). Is there any wonder then that in his speech at the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, inscribed with its much quoted axiom, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” that Chauncery M. Depew added these important and pointed words: “There is room in America and brotherhood for all who will support our institutions and aid in our development. But those who come to disturb our peace and dethrone our laws are aliens and enemies forever.”

As President William McKinley once said, “The mission of the Untied States is one of benevolent assimilation.” In other words, it is the required assimilation of all who legally enter our nation. It is not the illegal immigration of warmongering antagonists, but the legal immigration of willing assimilators. Another American president put it even plainer. Theodore Roosevelt once said, "America is not a polyglot boarding house." Although he went on to insist that any immigrant coming here legally and "in good faith" to become an American and to be assimilated into our culture should be welcomed and "treated on an exact equality with everyone else," he went on to add these critical and cautionary words: "But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

I suspect Teddy is turning over in his grave today. In fact, I’m surprised that the disintegration of Western Civilization by its invasion and infiltration by foreign fifth columnists has not raised ole Teddy’s stone eyebrows atop Mount Rushmore. I know it’s raised mine and ought to raise yours, if your eyes are open to the menacing threat to the West now being posed by marauding and militant Muslims and Marxists.
