POPE PIUS XII: Equality degenerates to a mechanical leveling, a colorless uniformity; the sense of true honor, of personal activity, of respect for tradition and dignity-in a word all that gives life its worth-gradually fades away and disappears.

Pope Pius XII, 1876-1958, [WWII Pope, 1939-1958] on how mass democracy turns liberty into licentiousness and tyranny:

Against this picture of the democratic ideal of liberty and equality in a people's government by honest and far-seeing men, what a spectacle is that of a democratic state left to the whims of the masses! Liberty, from being a moral duty of the individual, becomes a tyrannous claim to give free rein to a man's impulses and appetites to the detriment of others. Equality degenerates to a mechanical leveling, a colorless uniformity; the sense of true honor, of personal activity, of respect for tradition and dignity-in a word all that gives life its worth-gradually fades away and disappears. And the only survivors are, on one hand, the victims deluded by the specious mirage of democracy, naively taken for the genuine spirit of democracy, with its liberty and equality; and on the other, the more or less numerous exploiters, who have known how to use the power of money and of organization in order to secure a privileged position above the others, and have gained power.

This quote is recorded in the fantastic book Nobility and Analogous Traditional Elites, which covers social hierarchy in the Christian tradition, including the American tradition. [A website.]

The Amazon blurb reads, 

Since the eighteenth century, generations have been schooled in utopian principles proclaiming total equality as the guarantor of liberty and justice for all. The egalitarian myth of a classless society was proffered as the unquestionable path down which mankind must travel to reach perfect social harmony. This book does much to shatter these myths and provide a Catholic approach to the way society should be structured as seen by the Popes.

J. MICHAEL WALLER: Mexico requires its elected federal lawmakers to be native-born Mexicans. Its constitution does not permit naturalized citizens to be elected as deputies or senators. The US Constitution has no analogous requirement for congressmen and senators.

Members of the US House and Senate are permitted to be citizens of foreign countries and are not required to declare their dual nationality.

Effectively, dual nationality of federal lawmakers is secret.

Legislation introduced to correct this never made it to a vote.

Let’s talk Interpol Cases today : These are cases I did for years that many haven’t a clue : The numbers MSM likes to quote , the seventy some percent with "no criminal convictions," are drawn from convictions recorded in United States databases. A foreign conviction does not show up there. Neither does a Red Notice. A man carrying a 9-year sentence in another country registers in that column as a Non-Criminal. And TRAC quietly narrowed it further. They used to count a criminal record, convictions and pending charges together. Now the headline number counts convictions only. So the fleeing to elude felony he is sitting on in Iredell County right now does not move him out of that bucket either. That is the statistic immigration advocates march behind. Purposely built to make a convicted extortionist with an Interpol notice and a hostage in his car disappear into a percentage they love [to] talk about.

Plenty of Americans, I mean Americans whose parents fought or were conscripted into WWII, view migrants ["alien" is the correct legal term] and immigration as a boon, a benefit rather than a destructive force in society.  Have they forgotten the pre-globalism days of small, local institutions carrying the load of social services along with the church?  Have they forgotten about that?  It just seems that too many Americans suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, where we try to please and bend over backwards with our captors.  Nils Johan Artur Bejerot, 1921–1988, a Swedish psychiatrist and criminologist, coined the term, Stockholm Syndrome. 

Nils Johan Artur Bejerot (1921–1988) was a Swedish psychiatrist and criminologist renowned for his empirical research on drug addiction as a preventable behavioral epidemic driven by social contagion rather than inevitable disease. Graduating with an MD from the Karolinska Institute in 1957 and earning a doctorate in 1974, he served as consulting psychiatrist to the Stockholm Police Department from 1958 to 1988, where he analyzed patterns of abuse among criminals and developed epidemiological models emphasizing demand reduction through strict societal controls.
