In a chilling warning, Elon Musk, the visionary tech entrepreneur, drew a parallel between the current state of America and the final days of the Roman Empire.
This comparison was prompted by recent policy changes that allow noncitizens to serve in the police force. Musk's forewarning came in response to the Minneapolis Police Department's decision to swear in its first noncitizen officer, a move that has sparked a heated debate.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit, the Minneapolis Police Department recently welcomed its first noncitizen officer, Lesly Vera, an immigrant from Mexico. This decision has raised eyebrows and concerns about potential complications. The department also swore in its first Somali female officer, further diversifying its ranks.
Musk's warning is rooted in historical context. "Near the fall of the Roman Empire, the Roman Army also increasingly relied on non-citizens," he noted. This comparison suggests that America, at 248 years old and nearing the average lifespan of an empire, which is 250 years, may be on the brink of a similar fate.
The decision to allow noncitizens to serve in the police force has raised questions about the potential for conflicting loyalties and the implications for law enforcement. The hypothetical scenario of a noncitizen officer involved in a shooting incident involving a black suspect, for instance, could present a conundrum for those who typically support non-American officers but also protest against police violence.
The broader societal context also adds to the complexity of the situation. In a country where men can use women's restrooms and compete in women's sports based on self-identification, children are deemed mature enough to choose their gender, and illegal immigrants are provided with free housing, the decision to allow noncitizens to serve in the police force may not be entirely surprising.
Musk's warning serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of these policy changes. As America grapples with these complex issues, the lessons of history, as highlighted by Musk, may provide valuable insights.
