Obama and the Great Wall of China

On the 18th of November, Barack Obama wrapped up a visit to China with a visit to ancient fortifications built to keep foreigners from invading China. The Great Wall of China was built to help China preserve its identity, sovereignty, borders, culture, and language.

Ironically, while Obama was walking on that wall, back home, his nation continued to be overrun by invaders passing through a porous border -- and he wants to grant amnesty and even citizenship to those invaders! The identity, sovereignty, borders, culture, and language are being destroyed while he fiddles!

"In most modern politics, unfortunately, it may truly be said that those who make history never know history." — GK Chesterton (1874-1936)

What is it about politicians in general, and liberals in particular, that make them unable or unwilling to learn from history?
