Observe the stark contrast between the image of Lady Liberty in New York harbor reaching out to those arriving Ellis Island legally in pursuit of freedom’s dream and the deliberately-choreographed, hyperbolic media melodrama depicting defiant mobs of pathetically-manipulated invaders demanding a piece of America’s promise with nothing but disdain for our priceless sovereignty, traditions of equality and dedication to our Founding documents.

A nation identifies and protects its borders or ceases to exist; may those seeking to engage/enjoy the blessings of the American dream first commit to learning our history, culture and precepts of decency while genuinely embracing our rule of law.
