It's funny how you start by giving a quote from 1787 and end by talking current policy. How can you possibly tie what somebody said over 200 years ago with todays immigration policy?
Those stages don't apply to the united states. If they did, then what the fuck happened to these:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage"
We haven't followed the timeline up to step 6 accurately, so how can we be in step 7?
If this guy is a genius who can predict the fall of empires 200 years after his time. Then I would say we are still stuck in spiritual faith to great courage. Since the christian\catholic church still runs the majority of this country.
