This comes to mind when considering how illegal migration, a.k.a. invasion, has now again surged back to almost Obama-era levels. Some are theorizing why this is, looking at the micro, but an important factor is minimized: not enough people care.
Oh, they care about some things: sports, entertainment, money, sex, bread and circuses. But the familial passion that should characterize a nation is largely absent.
Passion is the actuator. You don’t become a concert pianist because of a cold intellectual calculation that you may have some talent and, well, you could make some good money being on stage. It’s passion that motivates you to sink your teeth into practicing hours a day. Just consider the difference between a child forced to engage in an activity and one with self-motivating passion, or the difference between soldiers fighting simply because they must and those truly believing in their cause.
When hearing about invaders streaming across our border, often with a sense of entitlement, we should be filled with righteous anger motivating us to robustly defend the homeland. We’re not. Or not enough of us are. In fact, a good percentage of the country works against the common good, passionate about the wrong things and acting as traitors would. Too many of the rest are comfortably numb.
This is why invasion has been tolerated (and often encouraged), why we talk about amnesty for people who should be unceremoniously shipped south, and why there isn’t yet funding for a border wall despite a record Republican House majority.

Well I don’t know what election day is going to prove or do about the problem.
Republicans the party which is supposed to be in favor of stopping illegals fails to stop some of it at least doesn’t do it,what do you do,vote Democrat party which has open borders as its policy?
You could stay home,that means open border democrats.
So elections mean nothing,the establishment is in charge,the country is finished,the string has played out,just a matter of time

The Moore fiasco indicates that it is not possible to stop the destruction of this nation any longer. If the people of Alabama, that’s Ala-effing-bama fer crissakes, are too thickheaded, blind, or downright stupid to recognize how they were being played by the forces of evil to throw the election for the candidate of abortion, sodomy, and atheistic communism, there is no turning back. Excuses about how Moore wasn’t “pure” enough just won’t cut it when we are in the midst of a war for our very survival, a war that the people of Alabama didn’t have the good sense or the balls to show up for. The evidence is overwhelming and revealed by the day that the good ol’ US of A is in a death spiral that cannot be stopped. We are witnessing The Great Unraveling.
I agree. Alabama let us down.
Familial in the larger sense?
How can a nation be familial when most of the native children are "accidentally" born and raised only by the mother.
