The American Founding Fathers believed that freedom could only flourish within a nation-state. They also believed that a nation-state could not exist without sovereignty, control over borders, and a strictly guarded standard for citizenship.

Today, the American nation-state is under attack by progressive Leftists who aim to recast the social compact around a set of "universal values" that deny sovereignty, borders, and citizenship.

Edward J. Erler explains why the dream of global unity is a great deception. The future, he argues, belongs not to globalists, but rather to ardent patriots, proud citizens, and strong sovereign nations that celebrate their singularity and unique cultural inheritance.

In The United States in Crisis, Erler recapitulates the legislative and judicial decisions that have compromised American sovereignty, including the court cases that led to birthright citizenship; the Immigration Act of 1965, which abolished immigration quotas and has irreparably altered the course of American immigration history; and the weakening of our legal definition of citizenship.

Finally, Erler examines how the Trump administration can defend the nation-state from the progressive globalist agenda by creating an immigration policy grounded in America's founding principles and the common good of her citizens.
