We’re Not Being Overrun — We’re Manufacturing the Invasion

The great conservative obsession right now is mass deportation. “Secure the border!” they shout. Meanwhile, millions of young Americans graduate (or drop out) from the government school system every single year — thoroughly indoctrinated, morally confused, and statist to the core.

We are not being overrun by immigrants. We are manufacturing our own replacements at home, at industrial scale. The real invasion is not coming over the fence. It’s walking out of our own government school buildings every June.

In 2025, roughly 3.8 to 3.9 million young people exited the U.S. public high school system — either by graduating or dropping out. The same thing happens every single year.

Compare that to the highest plausible estimates of total immigration (legal + illegal) in recent years, which sit around 2.0 to 2.5 million per year. Even if you take the most generous numbers for immigration, the domestic school system is still producing far more ideologically broken people than are walking across the border.

What the Government School System Actually Produces

The government school system is not neutral. It is a moral and ideological factory. Every year it graduates millions who have been systematically taught:

To be statists: The state is the great problem-solver. Government should regulate speech, medicine, education, diet, and even parental rights. Obedience to man-made law is virtue. Obedience to God’s Law is extremism.
To be idolators: Humanistic man is the measure of all things. “My truth,” self-worship, and the therapeutic gospel have replaced the fear of the Lord. The state, science, and personal feelings sit on the throne where Christ belongs.
To be perverts: From explicit sex education to gender ideology to the normalization of pornography and sexual chaos, government schools have become one of the most effective instruments of moral corruption in human history.

This is not accidental. It is the logical fruit of a system built on rejecting God’s Law as the standard for education and civil life.

The Immigration Irony

Here is the bitter truth Christian nationalists refuse to face: immigration is not the root problem—it is a symptom of domestic disease. We attract the very rebellion we produce. When a nation rejects God’s justice, allows a legislature to invent its own laws, and turns its schools into temples of humanism, it should not be shocked when God sends waves of people reflecting that same defiance.

Legislative border control is fundamentally unauthorized by God’s Law and counterproductive in practice. These man-made controls rarely stop the wicked, yet they frequently hinder the righteous, creating bureaucracy, corruption, and false hope. A wall cannot save a culture rotting from the inside. Our own institutions are already running three shifts a day mass-producing statists, perverts, and idolaters by the millions every single year.

Furthermore, we actively market this wickedness to the world. A potential immigrant looking at America does not see a people who fear God. He sees a society where idolatry is protected, blasphemy is celebrated, and perversion is normalized. Our culture sends a clear broadcast across the globe: “Come on in—God’s Law is not enforced here.”

The internal crisis is a severed jugular vein; immigration is a broken toe. God’s Law already provides a far superior solution to a border wall: when a nation establishes biblical justice and covenant faithfulness, it naturally becomes a high-friction environment for the wicked, and a beacon for the upright.

The Real Antidote: Righteousness, Not a Bubble

The best defense against evil people coming in is not a bigger wall. It is a strong immune system. A nation that fears God, loves His Law, and applies it in every sphere develops spiritual and cultural resistance. Righteousness repels the wicked and attracts the upright. When justice rolls down like waters (Amos 5:24), the land becomes hostile to perversion, freeloading, and idolatry — whether homegrown or imported.

Lancastrian theonomy is not libertarian open borders. It is the sober recognition that the civil magistrate has a narrow, God-given task: to punish actual evil as defined by Scripture and nothing more. The real work of culture, education, and dominion belongs to the church, the family, and the individual steward exercising responsibility before God. When these spheres are functioning faithfully, a natural wall is erected — not one of concrete and steel, but of covenantal righteousness and biblical justice. Evil finds it a high-friction environment to enter and thrive.

Because God’s Law does not forbid the movement of people, we refuse to waste enormous amounts of time, energy, and treasure trying to battle human migration itself. Instead, we focus on taking dominion and establishing justice in our own land. A society that loves and applies God’s Law will naturally deter the ungodly and attract those who desire to live peaceably under it. Until we repent of our own covenant unfaithfulness and return to the Law and to the Testimony, no amount of border enforcement will save us. We will simply keep producing the disease we claim to fear.
