Build That Wall

Build that wall. Close off our southern border. Keeping illegal immigrants, terrorists and criminals out is our main objective but it is not our only objective. Let me digress for a minute.

Let us posit a premise based in natural law:

Each person is an individual first. Only he can solve his own problems.

Humans are by nature and social structure set up to group live. As group-livers, they are not from youth instructed to solve their own problems, and most do not believe that is the primary means of personal problem-solving.

As a result, humans feel sanctioned to flee to their neighbors, to rob them of their power, money and independence, coercing them to attempt to solve the problems of these fleeing neighbors.

The corollary is now all are failures, ensnared, suffering, poor and hopeless, because all have minded each others' business, and the problems of everyone are handled by everyone, and nothing gets fixed anywhere. What to do with this tangled mess?

The Good Spirits adjure each individual to untangle herself from others, and work to solve her own problems as an individual, and to rebuff those trying to force her to attempt to solve their problems, or demand that she allow them to meddle in her affairs as a collective entity.

As each human comes to respect this natural law: that only the individual can solve his own problems, then social problems will start to clear up.

Now, let us think about Mexico and the Mexicans. They are smart, hardworking decent people with a corrupt government, a horrible class system, rampant drug warlords, crony capitalism, a weak democracy, a socialist economy and something of a police state at work. They are a communal people and that inevitably leads to wickedness, poverty, a lack of liberty and plenty of unhappiness to go around.

We need to close the border, keep their people home, and deport the illegal immigrants from there. They must adopt capitalism, individual-living, Mavellonialist values, constitutional republicanism, and the American Way.

Once they achieve this, and are a functioning, prosperous republic, they will not need to send their millions over the border. Then we can open the borders a bit.

Then we will show the rest of the world that they can adapt to the American Experiment like the Mexicans did and the world will be a much freer, fulfilling, richer and happier place.
