Our nation doesn't want brown people. Many speak of sending them all back where "they" came from. The Senate bill wants to make it a felony to be an illegal immigrant...but what about those who employ them?
Well, they did not want my people when they came in droves (the Irish). The Chicago Post wrote, "The Irish fill our prisons, our poor houses...Scratch a convict or a pauper, and the chances are that you tickle the skin of an Irish Catholic. Putting them on a boat and sending them home would end crime in this country."
Sound familiar? Today the same sentiment is prevalent about hispanics.
And so it goes, generation after generation.
