Are We Really Free?

Lately we have heard an unusual number of comments about "freedom," as refers the the United States. After reflecting upon the latest media emphisis on our "freedom," i thought about the recent turning of events that I do not think are consitent with a "free country."

Would a free country have a parliament or a congress that ignores its constitution and in particular our Constitution which requires the Federal Government to protect the individual states from foreign invasion (Article IV, part 4)? I do not think anyone will ask, "What invasion?" unless they have been living under a rock for the last fifty years. Illegal immigration is a foreign invasion that tramples upon our sovereignty by ignoring our immigration laws. Those invaders are in concert with our fifth-column socialists who see that the invaders are given comfort at the expense of the law abiding tax-payers by cosuming goods and services paid by the taxpayers. The overwhelming majority of Americans oppose illegal immigration and many think that legal immigration is too liberal and that quota numbers are too high already, if they were enforced. In a free country, its duly elected politicians would not ignore the will of its people.
