The USA is becoming a Third World nation

Frank Arana Jr.

Being of fairly sound physical and mental health, I will try to express my opinion on past and current events that make me wonder where this nation is headed.

The saddest part for me is to see that the nation is inevitably heading into a downward spiral and unfortunately it is kind of late to stop it.

There will be, of course, people that will not agree with my assessment of the present state of affairs and I will probably be criticized and labeled in many ways. However, I will still try and tell it like I see it.

This nation is in the throes of changing into a Third World nation where everything American is disappearing thanks to the unrelenting zeal of our so-called leaders, beginning with President Johnson, that have taken up the “diversity” battle cry as their motto.

How can a nation keep its identity when it allows unchecked immigration to thrive for 30-40 years? At least 100-140 countries have provided instant Americans to our nation and now we see the results where all of them are demanding their rights. Some are demanding that we take the word “God” out of our lives, and we seem to be complying. They have already taken the Pledge of Allegiance out of our schools.

We have given the automobile industry to our former enemy, the steel industry to a Latin nation (Brazil), etc. etc.

We have become a nation of consumers at the mercy of our providers, most of them foreign. American customs, values, rituals are constantly under attack by our instant Americans.

Brands like Chevrolet have been replaced by Toyota and Nissan; Del Monte by Pace Salsa, Caterpillar by Komatsu, etc.

Our jobs have been exported to India, China, Indonesia, Mexico, etc. Our energy depends on foreign oil, and even our source of revenue is in the hands of foreigners, thanks to the idiots that negotiate our trade agreements. Our politicians have mortgaged our children’s future.

So think about it and start telling (as if it will make a difference) your representatives that you have had enough of them leading you and your family down the road to living in a place that will rival the slums in Mumbai.
