No Respect for Law & Order

When I was 15 years of age (1962) I had no respect for law and order.  This lack of respect lasted until age 20.  During those teenage years, I was involved in breaking and entering, grand theft auto, stealing, and larceny.  Most of these crimes took place in Alexandria, Virginia, Durham and Graham, North Carolina.  Some of these crimes took place in Europe and in the Middle East.

I wasn't the son of someone who was wealthy or in a position of power.  I was just someone, seeing how far I could push the law and get away with it.

I lost my desire to be a criminal while I was in college but there were still desires in me up until the age of 30.  After 30, I reverted back to the way I was supposed to have been from the getgo.

At 75 years of age and 45 years later, I am appalled by the lack of respect for the rule of law that people who live in the big cities have.  My crimes were created simply out of curiosity, nothing more.  Today's crimes revolve around tens of thousands of dollars.

It seems like every other day, the news is reporting where a group of people, both males and females, walk into a store and in front of the security guards (who have been told to do nothing) they walk out of the store with merchandise valued in the thousands.

Shift from the big cities down to our southern border and we have immigrants coming into this country illegally...  and they know that they are entering illegally and don't seem to care.  A few agents are trying to stop the crossings, but their efforts are like spitting into the wind.

Does anyone believe that anyone one of these illegal immigrants will automatically start obeying all our laws?

I cannot imagine what fool would believe that.

Will these immigrants want to become US citizens?

My answer to that question is yes.

Do the Democrats believe these illegal immigrants will become Democrats?

My answer to that question is also yes.

What these immigrants do not realize is that in a couple of years 2025 or maybe 2027, most of the available jobs in the USA will be conducted by AI/robots.

What are these illegal immigrants going to do then?

Break more laws to feed their families?

My answer to that question is yes.

It takes discipline and determination to change your basic personality.  It was not easy for me to turn things around, but I did.  I also quit smoking after 25 years, cold turkey...  this too takes discipline and determination and will power.

All these illegal immigrants WILL CHANGE OUR COUNTRY.  They could change it for the better or they could change it for the worst.  I don't know which way it will go...  but, if crime continues in these big cities...  then it is likely to spread elsewhere.
