America is the story of the rich and complex history of our World. The voices and experiences of ordinary people fill the environment of this World and will inspire you to learn more about yourself. Clear writing, excellent organization, and attractive presentations, and displays makes integrating into society more accessible and will help one understand how easy it is to relate to other people, when we honestly look at things from their perspective, and without judgment, which will help you do well in life. Right now, illegal colonization is a colossal political issue that we are taking a closer look at.
With the population explosion in America, the price of labor is decreasing, while housing, food, fuel and water are on the rise. Many people do not mind immigrants, but wish they would venture farther and farther inland as coastal areas are over populated and have limited resources.
In the Midwest, there is far more agricultural land, and the prices are more accommodating. Nonetheless, illegal colonization is misunderstood and often times looked at in a negative perspective because people are so angry and no one is really communicating, so there is no resolution.
Senile jealousy is anxious to be deceived—jealousy is doubt. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I life up my soul source code and mind program and increase my brain random access memory.
Rescue me from my enemies, Oh LORD, for I hide myself in you. When England’s North American colonies started settling, in 1715, resources became very scarce. First, the demand for wood—for building and heating houses, for producing the charcoal necessary for ironmaking, for shipbuilding, and barrelmaking—led to a swift depletion of the forest near the coast.
Just so you get an idea of how important it was to focus on your own life and be independent, or heating and cooking, the typically northern farmhouse required an acre of trees each year, and without these resources, a family might die of hypothermia or starvation. An iron furnace needed 20,000 acres of forest to produce a thousand tons of iron. A 40-acre field required 8,000 fence rails.
Rapid and often wasteful harvesting (spending) of the forest had many effect. As the colonists chopped down the forest canopy that had previously moderated the weather, the summers because hotter and the winters colder (climate change). In deforested areas, the snow melted sooner, and, as the winter’s melting snow ran off more quickly, watersheds emptied faster, as there was no tree, shrubs, grass or flowers to keep the moisture in the soil of Earth, and snow turned into water quickly, watersheds emptied faster. This, in turn, caused soil erosions and periods of drought.
One of those dark gloomy minds in which love always leads to jealous—a second ecological transformation occurred when animals brought by Europeans began to replace animals already in North America. European colonists were a livestock people, skilled in mixed farming and herding of domesticated cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, and goats. Such animals provided food, leather, fibers for clothmaking, and the sheer pulling and carrying power relied on by a people who had no other source of energy than their own muscles.
Multiplying rapidly in favorable environment, pigs and cattle swarms like vermin upon the Earth, the animals multiplied so rapidly and denuded the native grasses and shrubs so quickly that they actually ate themselves out of subsistence and began to die for lack of grazing land.
While European livestock filled the land, the native fur-bearing animals—beaver, deer, bear, wolf, raccoon, and marten—rapidly became extinct in the areas of settlement. Prized for their skins, or hated as predators of domesticated animals, these species were hunted relentlessly as the colonists offered trade goods to Native Americans in exchange for pelts. One broken link in the ecological chain affected connecting links.
For example, the dams and ponds of the beaver, which had been breeding grounds for many species of wild ducks, soon were drained and converted to meadow on which grazing cattle could live. Soon many animals, like wild turkey, in Massachusetts became a rarity in Massachusetts, by the 1670s. Deer disappeared by the early 1700s in settled areas. Hunting with us exists chiefly in the tales of other times.
All of these environmental changes were linked not only to the numbers of Europeans arriving in North America, but also to their ways of thinking about nature. Looking out over the wooded hills and fertile valleys, transplanted Europeans could only imagine the possibility of raising valuable crops as if the ecosystem was composed of unconnected elements, each ripe for development and commerce. Land, lumber, fish, and fur-bearing animals could be converted into sources of cash that would buy imported commodities that improved one’s material conditions.
The New England writer Edward Johnson described the process perceptively as early as 1653: Who would have imagine, he mused, “That this wilderness should turn a mart for merchants in so short a space, Holland, France, Spain, and Portugal coming hither for trade?” Supplying these Europeans were the farmers, woodcutters, and fisherman who consigned to the marketplace huge portions of the ecosystem that in the World of Native Americas were all-important for sustain life but were not part of a transoceanic system of commercial exchange.
Come from homelands, where land was scarce, the settlers viewed their ability to reap nature’s abundance in North America as proof of their success. However, the rage for commerce and for an improved life produced wasteful practices on farms and in forests, the cattle, was treated with equal carelessness. Accustomed to the natural abundance once the native peoples had been driven from the land that was available, the colonists embarked on ecologically destructive practices that over a period of many generation profoundly altered the natural World around them.
So this is also the fear that many Americans has that illegal immigration will drastically alter their lives, culture and country because others do not understand our way of life or how to preserve the land and keep the population in balance. As a result, many people fear and hate illegal immigrants. However, we need to look at this situation from a micro perspective.
The Disney animated film, called The Little Mermaid is actually a romantic story about illegal immigration. A young mermaid, Ariel, is willing to give up her life, as princess of the sea, and her identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul and the love of a human prince. Ariel lives in the underwater kingdom with her father, and five sisters. When she turned 15, Ariel swam to the surface and fell in love with a prince.
However, his ship wrecked, while she was gazing at him, and Ariel saved his life, took him to the shore, and sang to him until he was lucid, right before dashing back in the sea. From that day on, Ariel knew she wanted to be human, live on the land, and marry Prince Eric, the man she saved.
The mermaid visits a sea witch (coyote), who sells her a potion that gives her legs, in exchange for her tongue, so the Ariel lost her most enchanting and beautiful voice, and was never able to return to the sea if she is kissed by the Prince in three days because part of his soul will flow into her, giving her a human life span and an essence. However, if Prince Eric does not fall in love with Ariel, she will die of a broken heart and disintegrate into the sea.
Much like Ariel, people want to come to America for a new life, and on the way to this country, many of them go missing or die. The ones who do make it live in fear, and cannot go home. Illegal immigrants cannot call the police when people commit crimes against them and often times they are beaten, raped, robbed, home invaded, and cars taken with no chance for justice or protection and people know that these people are vulnerable and target illegal immigrants because they have no one to turn to.
There are over 20 million illegal immigrants in America, and by 2043, Mexicans and Asians will out number the white majority, but I do not think we should deport people who are already in America, we need to respect them and grant them human rights.
However, if you do not like illegal immigration, build a great wall to prevent it, or become partners with other governments so that we can get resources to help care for these people. Nonetheless, keep in mind that with immigration, we do not have population control in America, and space is limited. “However, you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” – 1 Peter 2.9
