IN THE MANY years this column has appeared, it is rare that it has weighed in on constitutional issues. Occasionally, however, an issue is so significant as to demand comment., even from the likes of me. And this such a time.
It is brought to mind because of a constitutional pronouncement made by a person in a very prominent and powerful position in the United States.
In order to preserve his privacy, he will, for purposes of this piece, simply be called 'Adolph'.
[Although the name is without any particular significance, it is appropriate since the people for whom Adolph is descended were, in fact, German immigrants].
Adolph's pronouncement was remarkable because it only addresses an immediate problem that Adolph believes is confronting the United States, the country in which he happens to live and over which he proudly rules, but suggests a solution to that problem that is remarkable for its great simplicity.
It pertains to immigrants.
Adolph is very much opposed to those seeking to enter the United States in large numbers from other countries, for reasons well known to him, and to many of his supporters, if not all the citizens.
In part, their opposition to immigrants is their belief that admitting too many immigrants dilutes the blue-eyed, blond haired, Aryan race in the United States.
Adolph and his supporters believe it is the Aryans who made America great, and they want to maintain what they have created without having it diluted by the presence of a bunch of immigrants.
That is, of course, not quiet how they put it.
They said that they want to keep out both legal and illegal immigrants out because those people commit more crimes than the Aryans, even though statistics show reverse it very true.
Like the Ardent followers, Adolph has assumed a stridently anti immigrant tone that gives comfort to those who have an intense hatred of foreigners seeking to enter the country, even though in many cases the haters were themselves recently foreigners.
As this is written, there is what is described as an enormous caravan of people heading towards the Mexican-US border, many of whose members hope to become immigrants in the United States.
