Is this garbage even worth responding to? 
 
The "author" conflates illegal immigration to amending the constitution to repeal the 2nd Amendment and presents a fictitious scenario that could happen.
 
Sorry sonny, you need to understand if they repeal the 2nd A, it would, at that moment, DENY our government any of the perceived authority they have tried to assume.  The semantics they play with the "well regulated" has completely changed the actual understanding and meaning of said phrase. 
 
It meant, at the time of the 2nd A's ratification, "in good/proper (working) order".  The government could ensure that citizen knew how to use the arms they possessed and were ready to defend this nation when called up to do so.
 
Now, as for your fictitious scenario, that ISN'T fiction.  In places like NYS they will arrest you for defending yourself.  That is why many States started to pass laws like "Stand Your Ground".
 
They've been trying to implement here the same absurd mindset in the UK and Europe where they have a duty to retreat.  WE NEVER DID.  They wrap it slogans like, "It's only property" and "A life isn't worth a TV!"
 
All bullshit.
 
A legitimate question would be, how many of those illegal aliens are fleeing nations where firearm ownership is all but banned? AND would they agree to change our nation into the one they left behind?
 
Maybe, if you promise them enough free stuff!  OH wait, we do!
 
UGHhhhhhhh.
 

Gerrilea, there is a real problem with unchecked immigration.  First of all, not all of the current "immigrants" are wanting to blend in with American society; all they want is the goodies that our government gives them without regard to the rights of the citizens of the nation to be first in line for such benefits paid by them.

Taxpayers are being fleeced, plain and simple, and the "equal distribution of wealth" that the liberals like to claim is no more equal than robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Every nation SHOULD have the right to defend its borders and to decide who can and can not be accepted into society.  The problem is that the "elites" want to make such decisions on a feel-good basis without regard to the damage they do to society.

Already we are witnessing the destruction of our very first right:  The right to speak our minds as we see fit.  There is no 'right' to be free from insult, but there is a right to be considered innocent until proven guilty, but as anyone can plainly see, such rights are not being upheld:  If you get accused of any crime, no matter how small, you first must prove today that you are not guilty.  Prime examples:  "Impeach Trump" (what crime?), "Bret Kavanaugh raped" (without a shred of proof), but the media and the Democrats held him up as "guilty" and demanded that he prove himself innocent.

Sorry, that is not the society that I grew up in.

My opinion is that the author has the gist of the facts right:  We are losing our rights.  It might not be a perfect article, but certainly not deserving of your statement "Is this garbage even worth responding to?"

Sunshine K--- Did you read to the last few lines???
 
Here let me repeat it:

While I don't believe the 2nd A is in danger, not for at least another 100 yrs...other things are.  Hell, I've had quite a few customers from Florida (with Florida licenses) whom couldn't and wouldn't speak English AND had the audacity to act offended when I told them I didn't speak Spanish.  They have no desire to matriculate and become an American.  If you don't want to become an American, why the fuck did you come here.
 
Further, you know what drives me crazy?  Their claims this was their land first.  ROFL.. The Spanish invaded and killed the majority of the natives that lived there and the ones that remained were assimilated into a Spanish culture, mores and language.   The same stuff Americans did here. The American/Mexican War wasn't fought against true Mexicans but the Spanish descendants living there.
 
"...the conquistadores lay the Aztec empire to waste, erasing the remnants of the culture as best they could, scorching Tenochtitlán by fire, leveling its majestic temples. The rubble would make up the foundations of a new world, the cradle of a brand new people."
 

I agree legal immigration needs to be curtailed to ensure assimilation, but it has nothing to do with race.  All races are capable of achieving anything they set out to do.

I hear today that a woman who was featured on the news as part of the caravan and who was eight months pregnant illegally entered the US with her husband and two-year-old child and immediately popped out a baby.  No doubt I paid for the birth.  That's a good half-million of benefits by the time her kids graduate from high school, that is if she doesn't pop out more.
 
According to a new study, 63% of non-citizens are on welfare.  If they have been here less than ten years, it is more like 50%.  If they have been here for more than ten years, it is 70%.  In California, the rate is about 70%.  What we need are immigrant who can pay for our generous retirements.  Instead, we get a permanent welfare class to whom we must give up our own benefits to support them.
 
By the time we awake from our slumber, it will be too late. 
 
I might be more inclined to accept open borders if they weren't allowed to take jobs away from citizens and didn't receive welfare.

I'm not in favor of open borders at all.  Borders are to define where one country ends and another begins.  As such, they should be defended to protect the citizens of those countries.  Open borders do not help the citizens of the country because they allow the uneducated and poor to take advantage of the citizens.  Worse, open borders do not encourage integration of the invaders.
 
Borders are useful in ensuring that the country and its citizens benefit by allowing only the most qualified in to bring in needed skills.  Uneducated, foreign language speaking people are not good for the welfare of the nation.  We already have enough uneducated and poor to take the lowest-paying jobs.  But at least they are citizens and can contribute to the country.
 
As for the second amendment, it is under attack already, and has been since the Tommy gun was banned.  Every license, registration and rule of "law" is a violation of the second amendment, which clearly states "shall not be infringed", because every license, registration and rule of "law" prevents people from owning guns.
 
It is not the gun that needs to be controlled, it is the person who commits crimes that need to be controlled.

"I'm not in favor of open borders at all."
 
I used to be for open borders.  You can't have true capitalism without the free movement of capital and labor.  But it isn't capitalism either when I am forced to pay for someone else's existence.  When the same labor rules don't apply, they steal jobs from Americans.  I don't like to see our culture overrun either, but that would take care of itself if prevented them for working illegally and we ended welfare for illegal immigrants and limited it for immigrant here legally but are non-citizens.  There is something wrong when we allow immigrants to come work here and the companies don't pay them enough to avoid welfare.  I'm all for guess programs if done correctly.

Perfect, Mogg!

Immigration leads towards SOCIALISM and the destruction of NATIONS towards the GLOBALIST goal of a One World Government.  Globalists don't care about destroying what America was.  And what America is today (halfway destroyed already - go Democrats!) is completely unwilling to question whether anything about its past - the cultural expectations and other aspects that made it great - are worth protecting.  If current trends continue, America will eventually be bankrupted.  At that point either there will be a very bloody civil war in which producers annihilate the recipients of socialist benefits, or America will end up a Third World hellhole for many generations.  Either outcome is sad and could have been avoided if people would use their brains more than their feelings or their apathy.

I'm considering an article about immigration and the effects of it on society.  It will be entirely different from this article though, because I want to focus more on the facts than any emotional considerations such as "the poor women and children" nonsense.

I'll respond to your click bait and the right-wing xenophobic sewer it generated:
 
There a still fairly large group in this country who righteously believes that immigration should have been halted in 1492.

ChetDude, you just made my point about emotional consideration with your "righteously believes" statement.  Total emotional, sans facts.

ChetDude--- Awe, we understand. There are people in Ireland that believe similar things, that immigration to their country has destroyed their own culture and identity.
