The entire time I read this article my heart just kept sinking bit by bit. America seems to be the weird neighbor that lives down the street, and is quickly slipping down a path to a completely paranoid shut-in.

Of course it is a great country, America has a history of a kind of open door policy for immigrants from nearly every country. It seems the price of admission or living here (giving up many personal freedoms, with more disappearing all of the time) is on pace to outweigh the benefits.
