With America in decline, the rise of the tent city is the result.

A revolution of sorts — with the driving force of disillusionment — is upon us, and no one is immune from the effects.

Human migration is at our doorstep, so we need to step aside to allow more room for the tent cities to expand. This land of opportunity is being exploited by opportunists who believe a free ride awaits anyone fortunate enough to be residing in America.

With our national debt about to break our backs, the last thing we need is even more weight of dependency that surely awaits within and without our sovereign border.

The laws of nature dictate that only the strong survive. So, survival of the fittest is being played out in the average tent city in America at this very moment.

The sharks are beginning to swarm for the feeding frenzy at hand on the streets of the promised land.

Our lifeboat will sink if we allow life in the tent city to dictate the rules for all of us.
