So Obama, the Dems, GOP RINOS and the Chamber of Commerce keep the southern border open for anyone and everyone to bring their failed society woes with them.
Also threatening it is the elitist, neo-aristocracy, patterned off the European model that keeps people from advancing themselves in society. The existence of the dirt poor and uber wealthy is, and always has been, one of their more destabilizing features in these statist driven societies, which of course then leads to massive crime levels.
Crime threatening democracy in Latin America, survey finds
New research shows fear of violence is fueling support for authoritarian solutions

Violence and crime are the main destabilizing factors in Latin American democracies because they make citizens lose faith in their institutions and favor tough-approach policies that could lead to violations of fundamental rights.
That is one of the main conclusions of the 2014 Americas Barometer survey, which is produced by the Latin America Public Opinion Project at Vanderbilt University.
The report is based on 50,000 interviews in 28 countries, and the preliminary findings were presented in New York on Monday.
The conclusions are that the persistence of crime and violence in Latin America and the Caribbean puts “democracies at risk” and provides fertile ground for centralization of power and, in extreme cases, populist and even illegal or violent solutions such as paramilitary groups, vigilante patrols and lenient attitudes to public lynchings.
While the economies of Latin America and the Caribbean have experienced growth in the last decade, and their middle classes keep expanding, there is still enormous inequality. Eighty million people live in extreme poverty and over 40 percent of respondents believe that their country’s economy got worse in the last year.
As everyone can plainly see, we have the same problem (different actors) here in the United States. Obama has set loose the dogs of crime on his people. When the people look up to leadership, they see a usurper, another fraud, a thug, a two faced serial liar, so now those so inclined feel that now it is their right to take what they wish, anytime, anywhere. The fabric of our society is being rent asunder. Meanwhile protections we always thought we had from Congress to our Supreme Court stand by, limp and impotent to effect a halt. Like France (but not only France) we are getting what we asked for. Bye bye America.
