Czechoslovakia followed by dismantling their border defenses and the East German government responded by allowing their citizens to emigrate there.

Very little good will come of this. <br /><br />Yes. Some people will be able to maintain sensibility, however the potential for vigilantism and mayhem on all sides increases when there is an abandonment of leadership and control by the trained authorities. Especially when the abandonment is on such a massive scale and on a NATIONALLY important issue. <br /><br />However, as I said, when the people feel abandoned by their government or that there is not any control by the "powers that be", expect that vacuum WILL be filled.<br /><br />Ignoring the problem of illegal immigration and the invasion of the country by illegal aliens has led us to this juncture. <br /><br />I hope it isn't too late.<br /><br />Dust Bunny Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115422951538885247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-70343060560448383482018-11-02T17:16:31.378-05:002018-11-02T17:16:31.378-05:00It started with a guy on the radio, a talk show.
