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.

China did the same thing - even with the Great Wall. National defense cannot be expected effective as a passive, leisure activity.

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
