The American Founding Fathers built our nation on a core premise that has been long forgotten and this memory lapse is causing endless grief for current generations. What premise? That the rest of the world is not the responsibility of the US. We don’t owe the world anything, we don’t need to be involved in foreign wars, we are not beholden to foreign interests and we are not obligated to foreign peoples.
Americans separated themselves from that world because it was hostile to the common man's freedom and prosperity.
Americans should have learned this lesson well during the immigration disaster of the early 1980s under the Jimmy Carter Administration.
Famously depicted in the 1983 film 'Scarface' and the 1984 drama television series 'Miami Vice', the crime wave that erupted in the face of the migrant surge was not fictional, it was very real and it made a long lasting impression on American society.
Though some Cubans became staunch anti-communists and integrated well into American society, many were violent convicts kicked out of Cuba by Castro and dumped on American shores along with Haitian gang members and even foreign spies.
Due to open border policies, Americans are suffering under an unprecedented housing crisis as foreign demand drives up rental prices.
They also argue that American "Imperialism" is the direct cause of instability in the world, and thus we must "Pay the price" by welcoming the third world into our backyard.
Foreigners should be tasked with fixing their own countries just as we Americans are tasked with fixing ours.
