printTo consider nationhood a collectivist concept is to confuse authentic individualism with a caricature thereof. The real individualist knows that man is a social being by nature. He knows that to belong to a variety of social systems is not necessarily to be bound by—or subjugated to—them. Mostly, the real individualist knows who he is and whence he came.
And it is precisely this sense that the “powerful political coalitions” that dominate the immigration debate work indefatigably to obliterate. They want an ahistoric and deracinated America, all the better to manipulate.
