We are repeating the same history that led to the downfall of the Roman empire (Putin, gas prices)

THIS sounds more like it, the tzunami of illegals is the additional factor.

Well we know that the vegetable is not really in charge, he is just the figurehead representing some group of people that stand behind him.

Were these people elected?

I would think that yes for the most part.

At this point, it needs to be completely collapsed and rebuilt.

It was the year 2033, the Canadian barbarians sensing weakness stormed down from the North to sack Rome, GA.

They carried off all the beer, maple syrup and thick women and burnt it to the ground.

This country has always had immigrants, like all other lands on the globe. Chicken Littles can't handle that simple fact. Our ancestors immigrated here. Others will come. Numbers will change. All part of the cycle.

If your mindset is no larger than Faux News, nothing can rescue you from the extremist path.

Are you speaking of legal immigrants or illegal aliens? We have no problem with the former in reasonable numbers. The problem is the latter. Are you blurring the lines between those two groups? What does Fox (not Faux) news have to do with the above?

No one is scapegoating immigrants that come here legally. The problem is those who come here illegally and the latter is what Carson is referring to along with bogus asylum seekers. Get your facts straight!
