Core Principles: Duty to our similars and our families

Today, I'm passing on a quote of mine from Jake's comments in response to a post about the Heritage Foundation's latest findings about the costs we all bear thanks to illegal aliensa and their enablers:

It's unconscionable that we have American kids being shortchanged by schools beset by the challenges imposed upon them by increasing numbers of illegal aliens. Perhaps the most lamentable travesties occur every time an American child is denied the opportunity to achieve the best results that his or her abilities might allow because the children of alien criminals forced costs shifts or social discordance in a public school.

How many American children must have their lives permanently altered for the worse before their plight starts to matter to those who misplace their compassion only with interlopers while ignoring the needs and futures of our native sons and daughters?

For me, this gets to the crux of the matter of both illegal and mass immigration. I believe that those who promote the mass movement of cheap labor and demand amnesty for huge masses of foreigners do so for reasons that have nothing to do with the best interests of today's American children or its future generations. Coincidentally, while human nature holds imperative the need for us to place our families, tribes and familiars first, we see similar self-defeating movements taking root in every nation that is a part of Western Civilization.

Why is this bizarre form of self-destruction not happening to any other set of brethren cultures on earth? Is the "white man's burden" so toxic that it demands our own end?

It takes an incredible amount of greed, ignorance and calculated misindoctrination of those susceptible for such a culturally-immolating set of ideas to become established and considered normal in common discourse. As I see it, these efforts to supplant the peoples of Western Civilization with people erroneously assumed to be "more compliant" to the desires of ruling elites are the most conspicuous evils ever perpetrated by groups of people against their similars and families.

I'd rather not think it of my fellow man, but can it really be that people raised in the crucible of liberty have become mere inconvenient obstacles to instant profit gratification now that elites have discovered that willing dupes are available for import?
