We\u200b have lost sight of who we truly are. The root of this crisis \u2064can be traced back \u200dto a series of errors, with the most glaring being our lack of functional borders.\u2062 Just as a house\u2063 without walls is not a house, a nation without borders is \u2062not a\u200d nation. \u200dOver the past three years, Joe Biden has allowed nearly six million foreigners to enter our country illegally. Criminal cartels have facilitated their entry, resulting in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mayorkas-hilariously-claims-the-border-is-secure\/\" title=\"Mayorkas Hilariously Claims the Border Is Secure\">largest human trafficking operation<\/a> in history.<\/p>\n<p>This Democrat-led invasion is\u200d not what the majority of Americans want.\u200c We are told to \u200daccept it\u2062 because\u200d we are supposedly &#8220;a nation of immigrants.&#8221; However, this phrase\u2064 is not rooted in our\u2064 founding documents. It only gained prominence\u2064 in\u2062 the mid-1960s when Democrats \u2064sought to use mass migration as a means to gain a permanent electoral advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the notion that &#8220;diversity is \u2063our strength&#8221; is historically \u2063unfounded. Unity, not diversity,\u2063 has always been the source \u2064of strength\u200d for nations. We are the United States \u200bof America, not the Divided States\u2063 of \u2063America. As \u200dBen Franklin warned in \u20631754, we must put aside our divisions and come together as one, or else\u2063 we will perish.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout our history, America\u200b has recognized the importance of controlled immigration. We have placed limits on it, \u2064not out of dislike for immigrants, but out of a desire to maintain stability \u200band preserve our national identity. America was founded to be a &#8220;model of Christian charity,&#8221; a \u2062nation with its eyes on\u2064 Heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to liberal claims, America was not founded as a secular nation. The separation of \u200cchurch \u200dand state is a misinterpretation of our history. Religion has always played a significant role in shaping our laws and morals. Our Founding Fathers, the Federalist Papers,\u2062 the Constitution, and the\u200b Declaration of \u2062Independence all acknowledge the importance of \u2063religion in our nation&#8217;s foundation.<\/p>\n<p>President John Adams recognized that our\u2062 Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. The decline in religiosity in America today is at the core\u2063 of our identity \u200ccrisis. Without grounding our identity in God, we are \u2064left\u200d asking, &#8220;Who am I?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How \u2062does\u200d the influx of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/migrant-crisis-could-cost-taxpayers-451-billion-house-gop-report-says\/\" title=\"Migrant Crisis Could Cost Taxpayers 1 Billion, House GOP Report Says\">illegal immigrants impact<\/a> \u2064the rule of law and \u200bthe idea of\u200b a nation of laws, according to Knowles?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ithout secure borders is \u2063not a nation. It is in this context \u200bthat Michael Knowles addressed the audience \u200bat CPAC in his speech on \u2063Thursday, February 22, 2024, highlighting the urgent need to address\u200c America&#8217;s identity \u200bcrisis.<\/p>\n<p>Knowles began by emphasizing the importance of understanding history when\u2064 discussing identity. He argued that America&#8217;s identity \u2064is rooted in its \u2062history, which\u2062 includes the values and principles upon which the nation\u200b was built. To \u200cignore this history is to neglect the essence of what it means \u2063to be American.<\/p>\n<p>One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kevin-mccarthy-dhs-mayorkas-threatens-americans-free-speech\/\" title=\"Kevin McCarthy: DHS Mayorkas Threatens Americans' Free Speech\">key factors contributing<\/a> to America&#8217;s identity crisis, according to Knowles, is the lack of functional\u2064 borders. He\u200b pointed out that secure borders are essential for maintaining a nation&#8217;s sovereignty and protecting its citizens. Without secure borders, it becomes difficult to control who enters the country and\u200d to \u2064uphold the rule of\u200c law. Knowles drew an analogy between\u2062 a\u200c house without walls and a nation\u2064 without borders, highlighting the absurdity of neglecting\u2064 such a crucial aspect of national \u200csecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Knowles further argued \u200bthat the consequences of porous borders extend beyond <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blackburn-introduces-amendments-to-counter-china-and-iran\/\" title=\"Blackburn Introduces Amendments to Counter China and Iran\">national security concerns<\/a>. He asserted that the influx\u2063 of illegal immigrants not only\u200b puts a strain on \u200bpublic resources but\u2064 also undermines \u200dthe rule of law and the idea \u200cof a nation of laws. He\u200b emphasized the importance of enforcing border control measures \u200cand implementing policies that prioritize the interests and well-being of American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to addressing the issue of border\u200b security, Knowles highlighted the\u2062 significance of cultural assimilation. He argued that a nation&#8217;s identity is also shaped by a common culture and shared \u2063values. However, he expressed \u2064concern that \u2063the adoption of multiculturalism and the rejection of assimilation have contributed \u200bto the erosion of American \u200bidentity. Knowles cautioned \u2064against the\u2064 notion that all cultures are equal, pointing \u2064out that not all ideas and values align with those of America.<\/p>\n<p>Knowles concluded his speech by urging \u200dAmericans to reclaim their identity and embrace the principles and values that have defined the nation since its inception. He called \u200cfor a renewed commitment to secure borders, the rule of law, and the preservation of America&#8217;s\u2064 cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, \u2063Michael Knowles&#8217; speech at CPAC shed light on America&#8217;s identity crisis and the factors contributing to it. He emphasized the importance of secure borders \u200din maintaining national sovereignty and safeguarding\u2064 the interests of American citizens. Knowles \u2064also highlighted\u2064 the significance of cultural assimilation and the need to preserve America&#8217;s unique identity.\u2062 Ultimately, he called on Americans \u200cto rediscover their identity and uphold the values that have defined the nation for centuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Longer have a shared sense of values and principles.
