What good is the government?

As has been said over and over, the first duty of government is to protect the People. In fact, the Constitution was established to “provide for the common defense.” Since that quote comes from the very first sentence of our founding document, the protection of the folks must have seemed pretty darn fundamental to the Founders. How far we’ve fallen.

The federal government is failing at its first duty. For instance, the feds certainly aren’t protecting the citizenry from millions of foreigners casually walking into America across the southern border. Some of these illegal aliens are on terrorist watch lists, some are repeat felons, some are bringing fentanyl and other illegal drugs with them, and some haven’t been checked for diseases like COVID-19, tuberculosis, and Zika. (Microcephalic babies, anyone?) Seems the federal government is either incompetent or doesn’t care about its first duty.

Known as the Guarantee Clause, Section 4 of Article IV of the Constitution commands that (italics added): “The United States [i.e. the federal government] shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.”

The U.S. has other laws that stipulate just how foreigners are to be granted entry into the country. That these laws aren’t being enforced doesn’t mean that the ongoing influx of foreigners isn’t an invasion, it just means that the federal government isn’t enforcing the law.

It seems quite beyond debate that the federal government isn’t defending the People from invasion. But many folks won’t know that unless they follow Fox News or read the New York Post. That’s because most of the media isn’t reporting on the border crisis. The feds don’t want Americans to know about the border crisis — the FAA has banned the Fox News drones from flying over the border to film the invasion. Seems the feds don’t want us to know they’re not doing their duty.

What good is Congress, our federal legislature, if it doesn’t insist that the laws it has passed be enforced? When the executive branch doesn’t enforce the law, Congress should immediately start impeachment proceedings. Are we a nation of laws or what?

The government isn’t protecting us from the government. Much of what the feds are doing now is patently illegal, and even unconstitutional. Will the perps ever have to face the music?

Are the feds protecting us from a Civil War when they try to inflame our passions and divide us with lies, e.g. that the border is closed?

The government also isn’t defending us when the courts release violent criminals with long rap sheets from prison and back out onto the streets to reoffend. How are the feds protecting the middle class, the American Dream, our very culture?
