IMMIGRATION
America is crowded --
The vast wilderness is gone; plowed under for Farm
Lands, filled up with sprawling Cities, and covered over
with concrete Highways; there is no room for more.
But still, the Immigrants keep coming!
Millions come here every year, a mere handful come here
legally, with a due respect for the Law -- most come
illegally, scornful of "our Walls' (of both Law and Physical
Barriers), they come here seeking a place of Refuge and
a Better Way of Life.
All the World can not move here, and we can not tolerate
the Throngs, (already our Country is burdened with the
problems of a crowded Humanity), instead we should be
bold -- and take America to the World.
Let sweet Liberty open her loving arms and welcome ALL
to her embrace, (there is room yet in the Constellations for
a vast multitude of Stars.) Let us take the cherished ideals
of Democracy and Equality and share them with the
World. And, after we have liberated our Country from just
one spot of land, then stand back and watch, as the Seeds
of America take root and grow -- to produce abundant
Harvests of Freedom and Prosperity to feed a hungry World.
THE UNITED STATES
The United States stretch from Sea to shinning Sea, and
are now, even reaching up towards the Stars! We have an
International Union here; from Alaska to Florida, from New
York to Hawaii and -- beyond .
Why not admit it?
And recognize the fact that these United States are more
than just a Continental Girth; we have a vast Political
Union here, in these United States --
THE UNITED STATES OF EARTH.
OUR FLAG
There are millions of People, thru out the World today, who
are seeking a fresh start for their lives. They want to move
away from their Home Land, become Immigrants, and to
settle in a new Land. They want to move away from the;
Racial, Ethnic, Religious, Cultural, Political, Tribal or Sexual;
Discrimination that has restricted their lives; away from the;
Drought, Famine, Poverty, War Fare, Civil Strife and Despair;
they have been forced to endure, and go to some other place
where they can, at least, have some Hope for a Better
Tomorrow.
They want to leave behind their Place of Origin; in the Pacific,
Asia, India, the Middle East, Africa, Russia, Europe, South
America, the Caribbean, and Latin America; and come here ...
to live in our Country.
America is not perfect, (yes, we do have Our Faults), but still
- we do have the most prosperous Economy, the greatest
Personal Freedom, the widest Racial Diversity, the most stable
Social Order, the most extensive Religious Tolerance, the
strongest Independent Press, and the most effective Form of
Government; yet devised by Man.
People from all around the World can see the Good
America has to offer, they appreciate the Safe Haven it
provides, and that is why they want to move here and become
a part of our Way of Life.
Our Flag represents everything that is special in our Country.
(And oh, how it beckons to those who are in need! How dearly
they cling to the Hope that it offers.) When ever our Flag is
displayed, we should treat it with the respect it deserves (for
the many Triumphs of Justice we have won in the Past, and
for all those Victories that are yet to come.) We should let it
fly high above us, so everyone can see this Banner that depicts
the American Dream -- is still flying over the Land of Freedom,
and it still represents the greatest Country in the World.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
