Henry Ford was a great American: an inventor, an entrepreneur and a businessman. Few men manage to carry off the full series of successes — inventors rarely manage to create viable enterprises, those who start enterprises rarely succeed in running them as ongoing business. Henry Ford exemplified a great American spirit and drive by being one of the few men to do all three phases of enterprise with great success in each.
Yet Ford failed in one thing. He became an America Firster, the most potent of men in that group of Americans of the early 1900′s who felt America should stay out of of international affairs, that isolationism was good policy. But Isolationism was never a American virtue! George Washington and his allies worked hard to keep America a significant player in international affairs, as did every great statesman that followed. How is that known? By the great history of the America Navy and Merchant Marine — the international traders and world-sailing whalers. We became a great nation because we were very active internationally.
Isolationism worked for Ford, the businessman, because the internal US market for autos was unquenchable. And it worked for Ford, as a marker of society and social politics of the time, due to a miserable misanthropic taint xenophobic of envy and jealousy to waves of immigrants out of Europe, Mexico and the later years of the ante-bellum South. That bitter and divisive cultural spirit of the time also showed in the rise of the KKK.
Today a great American Patriotic spirit has newly arisen in reaction to the completely destructive culturally and economically Marxist policies in the Federal Government, the Establishment, the Media and Academia. This wave of patriotic fervor is called the Tea Party movement.
Yet is it being split asunder, into death, by isolationist sentiment, such as that espoused by Ron Paul and others?

……then why are people pushing to get them all out of here? We know that they are here illegally, but when the only crime most commit is living here illegally, wouldn’t it hurt us more to deport them during these bad times? and aren’t they doing the jobs most of you wouldn’t do?http://media.wildcat.arizona.edu/media/s…
Dollars and sense: Economy, native workers benefit from immigrant work
Until recently, saying that immigrants are “doing jobs Americans are not doing” amounted to little more than political rhetoric. But now, the real facts are beginning to surface, courtesy of some unusual suspects – a California economist and the Internal Revenue Service.
In late February, Dr. Giovanni Peri, a University of California, Davis, economist, published a report that cuts against the typical immigration grain. By analyzing census data in California (home to 30 percent of foreign-born workers in the U.S.), Peri concluded that immigrants actually boost the wages of native workers.
Essentially, Peri found that immigrants complement (rather than replace) native workers. Because most immigrants in California are unskilled laborers without a high school diploma, they end up filling in the gaps in California’s labor market, where most native workers have more than a high school diploma but less than a doctorate degree.
“In nontechnical terms,” Dr. Peri writes, “the increased supply of migrants is likely to put native workers in jobs where they perform supervisory, managerial, training, and in general interactive and coordinating tasks.” Thus, with native workers supervising immigrants, Peri estimates that native workers actually experience an average wage boost of 4 percent.
It’s already known that illegal immigrants inject some $7 billion a year into the Social Security trust, but now the IRS is estimating that ITIN filers have contributed $50 billion.
