Ma'am;...You seem to want to bathe in the light of morality, but I cannot let you... We look at the behavior of many peoples coming to this land with as much clarity as through the bottom of a bottle...The easiest way to explain the situation is this: Those people are living in honor societies, and we are living in money economies... Our society, and our money economy are very corrosive to their economies and socieites... When people do not have money they also do not have police, and prisons, and law courts... If you were to live in such a community and found it necessary to leave to seek a living elsewhere, then you would need to trust those you leave with your family and belongings... Honor is essential to trust, and trust is essential to every relationship.... Yet, where money is dear, honor is cheap, and a man may find that what he has spent his whole life preserving has been bought for very little money... You must understand that all people have come out of honor societies... This was true of the Greeks, and the Romans, the German tribes, the American Indians, and the Irish...It was not Helen that launched a thousand ships, but a common oath that brought a war to Troy... Even in the Genisis we have Abraham telling his servant to put his hand under his thigh in order to take his oath to a distant land to find there a wife for his son....The Muslim children of Abraham are bound to their religion by an oath... We make oaths with little of care or consequences, but they could not be members of their community without their honor... We find money is essential, but our society is new, and is already decrepit by comparison... We fool ourselves to believe we can live without honor... They stand fast, and fight to the death in defense of land, and family, and rights, and religion; and with very little of resources are beating us...If you look at the death, damage, and destruction that has come out of western society you must ask how long can we go, and how long the world will let us continue to exist, as we have, making money the equivalent of all value...I am hardly your typical American... I am little educated, and well read...I have stood in defense of my honor and suffered a terrible price for it... Yet; I realize that personally and socially there is no substitute for honor... Those people we invite here with open arms should be made to understand the changes they must accept to remain as citizens having equal protection of the law... They must accomplish- over night- a change that has taken us a thousand years, and as Shakespeare shows, we were still struggling with five hundred years on...No man could manufacture honor as money is manufactured, so that one having honor is required to hold on to it, and defend it... Cruel though it may seem, the father who killed his daughter was preserving something he thought he could never live without, and for that reason mercy should be shown...As Othello said: He who steals my purse steals trash...Money by comparison is trash, and honor is essential; and in spite of the trapping of honor we hang about our political offices, it is money which molds our future, and casts all votes... Under such circumstances, we are suffering social decline and death..Give up the appeal to morality...There is nothing immoral that is not dishonorable, and nothing honorable that is not moral....Thanks...Sweeney
