Let's all move all the people from Mexico to the U.S. and we'll all move to Mexico --- We'll just trade countries -- What result?

Suppose we take all the Mexicans from Mexico and put them in the U.S. and that we take all U.S. citizens and put them in Mexico. Might we not reasonably expect that we would soon see that the new U.S. Mexicans would soon be sneaking south across the border into a newly Americanized Mexico where they could find a better standard of living than in a Mexicanized U.S.? Or, is it that we in the U.S. have some sort of magical talisman buried someplace in this nation, unrelated to the people who make up this country, that will somehow remain after we leave and which will keep America great? Could it be that people don't matter? Could it be that people are fungible? Can we simply replace Americans with Mexicans and America will be the same as it is now?
What's the point of the above paragraph? Just that the recipe of a nation matters. The most important thing that any nation has is not its laws or mores or religion or culture, but its people. A nation is what it is, in the last analysis, because of the people in that nation. The ideas that build a nation are human ideas thought out and implemented by humans. Different groups of humans have different ideas. Their cultures and their nations reflect these different ideas. America has no magical talisman. To put this another way: If you remove all the beef from the beef stew and replace it with potatoes, do you still have beef stew? America without Americans won't be America, and the traditional, non-hyphenated American was a European.
One can pretend that the U.S. became great because we were the Land of the Free or because of our laws, but dig deeper to the first causes and you understand that these things weren't the cause of our greatness, they were the effect. The cause was the people who gave us these things.
So, let's eschew timidness and let's state it straight up: Who made America great? Europeans. Despite all the recent twaddle about diversity, the United States during most of its existence, and certainly during all of its formative, growing, expanding years, was mainly a New Europe peopled by plain wrap Europeans, who had the boldness found in a people freed from centuries of tradition. An "American" was a European unchained. Today, that has changed. America is now in a post-American America phase and it's boldness has given way to a mewling introspection.
Ahhh. I hear some of you saying: "Hey Millard, if that's the case, then Europe would also be great, but, man, we whipped their butts during W.W.II and that's because of our wonderful diversity." Nonsense. We didn't fight Europe. We fought one tiny European country, Germany, that's smaller than our state of Texas. Had we fought a unified Europe back then, the result may have been different as the Europeans in Europe--with a whole continent full of natural resources and Europeans-- fought against the Europeans in America. Chances are that if the U.S. gets into a future war against Europe--with our new wonderful diversity and our declining European population in the U.S.--the U.S. may lose. Also, and despite TV movies that may make some believe that it was a squadron of black flyers who won the war, it was mostly European-Americans who fought and died and won the war against their cousins in Europe.
But, one of the problems we are faced with in the U.S. today is that after 35 or so years of non stop brow-beating of European-Americans about "racism," we are faced with a society that can no longer see that people do matter. Now, we are supposed to believe that all people are just the same and that all we have to do is open our borders and we'll have a land of milk and honey, as the non-Europeans flow in. Oh, for the elites, living in gated, guarded communities, the influx of cheap labor seems like a good thing, but eventually they're going to find a de-Europeanized America full of non-Europeans with a few Europeans at the top of a societal pyramid with much too broad a base, and with millions of people who hate those at the top and who believe those at the top got where they did because of their skin color. Say, that's kind of where we are already, isn't it? Well, it'll get worse if both legal and illegal Third World immigration don't stop. Get ready for a future America where the children of the present day white elites won't leave their private communities unless they're driving heavily armored cars to protect themselves from the children of the Third World immigrants being welcomed into this nation today.
The Alice in Wonderland type of thinking behind the new amnesty program being pushed by certain elite U.S. Senators is so silly that if the Three Stooges were to say what some of these Senators are saying, it wouldn't even be funny because it's so absurd. Senator Phil Gramm of Texas, one of the main proponents for a new amnesty for illegal aliens, said that by granting amnesty to illegal aliens from Mexico already in the U.S. that "We get control of our borders." What? That's like saying, if we turn off the lights we'll get light. It's nutty. But Gramm, continues, "We get the ability to stop illegal immigration." That's bright. That's like saying we can stop the crime of trespassing by making trespassing legal. But, that's Gramm, and his arrogant elite Republican pals for you. One can imagine these elites telling all their domestic servants to just stay hidden for a while and they'll all be made legal.
Still, there's a certain irony in Gramm's call to have a new amnesty that will, with the stroke of a pen, get rid of "illegal aliens," by making them "legal." This is so, because many of those who have been fighting against the swamping of the U.S. by the Third World, have been trying to avoid charges of racism and have painted themselves into a corner by constantly saying that their opposition to immigration isn't racial, as in "We're not against any race or ethnicity. We're just against "illegal immigration." In fact, Gramm may have stalemated them by making illegals legal. One might even expect Gramm to now say something along the lines of "Well, you said you were against illegal aliens. You got your wish. There are no more illegal aliens."
