The Crossing (aka Kryptonite) USE HEADPHONES

Slow Burn for first several minutes, but keep watching ..

Overview:
Going down the rabbit hole that is the current United States immigration policy, this 49 minute visual arts treat is intended to provide a framework to begin the discussion of what is really going on with what seems on the surface to be a completely insane system of immigration, but on further digging, turns out to be a deliberate, and well thought out scheme of population movement consistent with the philosophy of Economism - which, broadly stated, is a political theory that regards economic gain as the main factor in human affairs, ignoring or reducing to simplistic economic terms other factors such as culture, race, religion, political affiliation, & nationality.

If you are thinking that this is not the country you grew up in, then you are not mistaken. It isn't - and it not by mistake or oversight that this has come about. It is deliberate.

If you are one of those that wants to "Control the Border," then consider that it IS controlled - in exactly the way, and to the degree, that proponents of Economism intend - and consider that YOU are one of the beneficiaries of the Economism philosophy, having access to everything cheaper - cheaper cars, cheaper houses, cheaper food, cheaper clothing, you name it - cheaper everything - all, of course, at the cost of a cheapening of the America you once knew.

If, on the other hand, you are one that subscribes to the "Migration is a Right" point of view, then consider the hypocrisy of your position, as you sleep in your cocoon of exclusion, with its gated community, behind your own walls, in your own house with its locked door, and its fenced-in yard.

Migration is a right you say, but what you really mean is that it is a right only if "they " stay on the proper side of the tracks away from your safe-space, and continue to allow themselves to be used as a cheap well of human capital so as to maintain your lifestyle.

Make no mistake, however, because you, snugly wrapped in layers of self-virtuous morality, are soon to be in for a rude awakening, as those toiling masses, yearning to be free, and having taken up residence in their respective ethnic enclaves, coalesce into an unstoppable force that will seize you from your sleeping bed of complacency, and exert a political and social change that will convert your once proud country into another third-world cesspool, much like the ones they left behind.

You think you can remain safe, and you think that you can maintain control, but the fatal conceit is that you can't, for to populate is to govern ... and "they" know it.

SOME WARNINGS TO THE VIEWER OF THIS VISUAL ARTS PLAY ..

If you are one of those that get their panties in a wad over the use of nudity as an art form to convey messages and symbolism concerning exposure, risk, innocence, growth, fear, birth and re-birth, the future, the universality of human condition, regeneration, and a host of other factors, then please tune to another channel.

If you are a Border Control proponent, there will likely be a strong negative reaction to images that deal with the themes of compassion, and redemption, and struggle of those that enter the country illegally.

If you are a Migration Is A Right/Open Borders proponent, just as your counterparts will have a strong negative reaction to various images and themes dealing with escape, struggle, and redemption in this visual-arts play, so too will YOU have negative emotional reactions - only for you it will be to those scenes and images dealing with the themes of agony, loss, and sorrow brought to American families impacted by crimes committed by those in the country illegally - the first crime being that of illegal entry to the country. Turn a blind eye to the sufferings of the approximate 4000 each year that are killed by people in the country illegally if you wish, and turn off your heart to the hundreds of thousands of the still-living walking-dead who mourn their loss, but at least have the honesty to acknowledge that the fact of the matter is that the these dead are part of the cost of maintaining the flow of Economism's pool of cheap human capital, and acknowledge that clamping down on it all (including the American death toll) would mean a loss of your current abundance, and that you are not willing, as of yet, to give that abundance up - because the cost of that abundance is borne by someone else's family - either here ......... or in another country.

In closing, for those of you citizen-patriots who are truly fighting against illegal immigration, yet are confused and frustrated as to why the mass of flag-waving, slogan-shouting, fair-weather patriots have not risen up to truly stand with you, the dirty little secret is that they too, even as they call themselves "conservatives", are ensnared by the philosophy of Economism, and consider the walking-dead, over whom you cry, as but a cheap price to pay ...... for cheap chicken and lower priced everything.
