Lincoln loved Immigrants.
Especially the Irish.
Most of the men could be coaxed right in to the army since none had jobs.
Grant made wonderful use of them as lead catchers on his road to Richmond.
Trump isn't against immigrants.
He's against not enforcing immigration laws.
Big difference and nothing racist about it.

The Peace of God to all that belong to the Light
Dear Readers,
Today it is indeed a Historic day, not for good but anyway difficult to forget. The Republican party nominated few minutes ago a Candidate that a year ago came out with a campaign against the immigrants, blaming them for all what is not working well in this country. Never before in American History a politician had targeted one of the most fundamental progressive factors that have made this nation unique in the world.

Please talk about illegal immigration when the Immigration system of the country would be really fair, when an immigrant can present his or her case to the immigration authorities knowing that would be treated over an equally based checking, since the current one gives clear discriminatory privileges to Asian people wanting to immigrate over Hispanics and even Europeans.
It is not the quality of the immigrant application what decides the admission but the nationality.

How about his public demonstrations of sympathy with white supremacist groups like KU KUX KLAN? What do you thing Abraham Lincoln might think of such endorsements? when he is masking his own inability to propose intelligent ideas to move this country ahead using a smog curtain of a distraction sophism in times that America is having the lowest rates ever of foreign illegal immigration?

they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting."
Every bit of what he said is true.
What he did believe was that, like all men, blacks had the right to improve their condition in society and to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
