Federal laws are broken daily, by this US President, (and the two previous), as he uses executive orders to enact “policies” that are contrary to existing law.  Many of these laws were originally enacted to protect the sanctity of US borders, and the safety of US citizens.  The unprecedented misuse of executive authority after 9/11 has become business as usual.

Federal agencies now enforce policies, not law.  State and local agencies, often against their will, now have to enforce these policies.  Currently, existing immigration laws are being broken by policy enforcement.

Big businesses of all kinds, homeowners, farmers, ranchers, and small businesses break laws daily, hiring illegal immigrants and paying them “under the table”.  There is no fear of prosecution, since the president is also breaking these laws, in collusion with other elected officials.  A substantial proportion of the wages paid to illegal laborers are exported, and not re-circulated in the US.

Many Americans, who do not consider themselves criminals, use, buy, and sell drugs that are illegal to use, buy, or sell.  They complain about the influx of the “illegals” as they roll a joint or shoot up.  Hardened career criminals do the same.  Drug purchases export billions to foreign criminals, so the US spends more billions to “manage” narcotics addiction and crime. Then we spend on the military, to fight terrorists funded by narcotic sales.  Americans triple-spend without any returns on investments, other than getting high.

The southern border of the United States has become a dangerous place.  It is ground zero, where all of these illegal activities come to a head. Laws are broken from the top down, and the bottom up.  Thousands of people a day are coming across the Mexican Border illegally, and political factions have conspired to make that seem like a good thing – at least in, say, Ohio.

Some regular American citizens live on the Mexican border.  Some have been murdered.  Many have been kidnapped or threatened with bodily harm, and many more have been robbed, sometimes at gunpoint.   Criminal activity has ruined livelihoods, exposed families to danger, diminished property values, decimated public schools, and created a war zone.  Many have given up and left the border region, sometimes at great personal loss.  Those that stay used to decide between living with cartel law, i.e. saying nothing to anyone about their losses, hoping it does not get worse, and living with Federal policy, assuming US officials will help.  By now they have learned the new policy in charge is that there is no recourse or ally to help them with brazen offenses committed by the cartel criminals.  There is no one to call when drug packing, gun wielding, camouflaged, cartel soldiers cut fences, slaughter cattle, steal vehicles or kidnap or kill your spouse.  Officials will come and debrief you and fill out a report.  No one will do anything to enforce the existing laws that prevent or remedy these offenses. The nation is now living by the President’s mandated policy, which is symbiotic with cartel law and rife with “tolerance” for all kinds of behaviors – all kinds.  The explanation offered to the victims of border violence is that these offenses are “immigration related”.  So, those in danger have to decide to stay or go.  When children are involved, they almost always go.  Just like in the ancient world, when tribal chiefs or kings stopped adherence to honor or laws, as in Syria right now.

Just south of the border, in the “drug wars,” more than 50,000 citizens of Mexico and other countries have been murdered by the cartels.  The brutality of these murders is well documented and unprecedented.  We can assume, since we are the world’s biggest drug customer, the murders were largely paid for with US money. We are funding a criminal genocide that is a result of our insane duality.  They were and are killed, simply because they will not cooperate with the dominant cartel (it changes from time to time).

Unknown millions of people now live in the US illegally, and many of them are illegally receiving public money and services and even registering illegally to vote.  Some are honest and just want a job.  Some have joined the ranks of their criminal friends on both sides of the border.  Then there are undesirables that the Mexican government has released from prisons and “encouraged” to go north - illegally.

As it stands, US law enforcement agencies are impotent regarding these issues – they take orders from the top.  County sheriffs and state police are forbidden to handle “immigrant issues.”  The “Feds” have jurisdiction, they fill out reports, spend billions, but they are also forbidden to enforce existing laws.  They “catch and release” suspects back into the “wild.”

Not all immigrants are here for jobs, drugs, or other benefits.  Some come, openly declaring to destroy the United States.  Officials screen those entering the country at known ports of entry, but many “enemy class” people enter, undetected, through our porous borders, right along with the masses of other immigrants.  And many of these are financed with funds from the illegal narcotics trade.  Narcotics and terrorism go hand in hand with illegal immigration.  Our officials know this to be true, and still do not move to fix it.  

In sum, Americans that benefit most from massive federal spending, those in government, and those they enable, do not want to fix this.  The dysfunction itself is driving the new, international, biggest industry, the post-9/11 U. S. Government (both parties).

The classic method of investigation is to follow the money:  First, billions exported to drug cartels, hundreds of billions spent on thousands of new government jobs in terrorism related industries, and millions of new illegal government dependents - all beneficiaries for this new cyclical dysfunction.  And the American presidential seat, now a dictatorship, up for grabs this year, is the grand prize to determine the next cycle of flow for trillions of dollars.  And we can again watch the senate and house pretend to hold down the fort and make more, useless, insincere and unenforced laws. 

As this trend progresses in many developed countries, the parasitic cartels on both sides of the globe benefit beyond measure, and in reality, we cannot, with any accuracy, measure their wealth. Currently they are able to buy technology, weapons, warfare, political offices and hard assets, and have gained power worldwide. Governments of the “free” world encourage this with enabling domestic policies and lax law enforcement.It remains to be seen if the parasites are actually willing to kill their hosts – liberal democratic governments and those lulled by addiction and entitlement.

We do know this; the average Joe -- living by the ancient rules of morality, working hard, paying his taxes, making his own living and raising his own children -- is an endangered species.And there is less and less money available to be made in that lifestyle.It is out of fashion, and the tangible incentives to be such are fading away, even if the moral incentive stays intact.

What does it take for evil to prevail? Good men doing nothing.

I have written this, and I will vote for Donald Trump and against all incumbents, just to try and turn the tide.Just to do something for positive change.Anything else feeds the beast.
