Never in history has a nation allowed itself to be take over by foreign citizens, all the while giving them financial support to complete their task.I would say the fall of Rome comes close. They let the barbarians stay and paid them to defend some of the frontiers. History shows how well that worked out.
I fear a new "Dark Age" will follow if this country fails to wake up and take action.

If the morality present in the U.S. flickers out, the dark ages will look like utopian bliss, to what will take place over it's rotting corpse. IMO
