Old Ebbets Field
Is America's cultural ethos gravitating West as the Dodgers did, as they fled Brooklyn for Southern California? Is America about to be knocked as flat as Ebbets Field was in 1960? We were always mostly a nation of European immigrants landing on the East Coast, but now, it seems the Latin flavor is becoming dominant. If you do not think the WASP influence has faded in favor of a rising wave of Hispanic power, just look at Republican stalwarts like Raul Labrador, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. The latter two, Rubio and Cruz, may well vie for the US Presidency. I have always been for rational, ordered immigration, but that means a secure border first, and America does not have a secure Southern border now. We are having an influx of unaccompanied minors and even obvious gang members now evidently, not originally from Mexico merely transiting through after originally hailing from Central America. The US needs regulated entry to ensure that felons and those with easily-transmittable diseases are not permitted into the country. What we do not need and no nation can afford is foreign criminals and those with illnesses that are easy to spread and difficult to treat demolishing the American edifice the way that wrecking balls took down Ebbets Field.
