Whenever the U.S. political system runs into a wall and begins to fall apart as it now is, a strong anti-immigrant sentiment is fostered by underhanded politicians. At the time of Lincoln's nomination for the presidency, those who drove the anti-immigrant frenzy were known as the "know-nothings" because they were a secret society, sworn to secrecy, and if asked whether they knew of or attended any anti-immigrant meetings, they were to reply "I know nothing about that".
Today they don't hide, but with the Republican Party on the verge of collapse, they are easily found.
This is not about you. Digest the post and you'll notice that the point is that some sort of anti-immigrant sentiment is fostered by some politicians whenever the party system is at risk.
You should watch the video. It's very informative.
Mr. Maddow turns my stomach in 5 seconds ... which only comes up one second short of Chris Mathews.
The problem here is that there has never been a time in history when government officials and brain-dead supporters actually promoted the illegal invasion of our nation by Ten's of Millions..
Mr Maddow seems to be confusing immigration and invasion ... deliberately, no doubt. That's what she does ... she deliberately confuses things ... and that includes people who listen to her blathering BS
So let's get it straight ... invasion is NOT immigration. Invaders are not immigrants. You have to be here legally to be an immigrant. If you are here illegally ... you are a criminal invader.
So let's start over. Explain how National Defense is nothing more than a "political ploy"?

I have experienced as much of it as you have. But you're too angry to see that it is the government that "did it" whatever "it" is. Do you even know what "it"... -those "negative impacts... -is?
I'll just let that stand for itself and for other readers to see.
So our government dragged these illegals over the border? They didn't willfully on their own violate our immigration laws and accept a job they weren't lawfully entitled to? Really? There is a threefold blame here, our government, the greedy employers and the illegals themselves. You for some odd reason
don't want to blame the illegals at all though. What's your skin in is? Come on fess up!
Yes, let the readers read the truth for themselves. Illegals have done nothing for us instead they have had a negative impact on our society. They all need to leave no matter how long they have been here and regardless of having families here. American law breakers with families don't get a pass on our laws so why should they? We don't need these people. Americans need their jobs back.
Anti-"immigrant" sentiment? See, you blur the lines between legal and illegal just as Maddow does.
Reagan directed immigration authorities and law enforcement to look the other way and let them take jobs. It was made illegal for employers to look into citizenship when hiring. Schools were directed to NOT ask students about citizenship. That sounds like explicit permission to stay.
Links please, what a bunch of BS! The only thing you got right is about these kids being able to attend our schools.
It's def justice; I DON'T have a problem with it, do you?
Yes, and if it were you who came here on a green card and stayed knowing the government was not enforcing time limits on being here and you made a good life here for you and your family, you would have a problem with it too. You want to punish them for the lapses and failings of the government.
I don't like it either but I know it all comes back to the government's refusal to enforce and so now the government must make it right without penalizing them for what the government did.
Tell me, what is the worst thing you think would happen if they were allowed to stay and given a path to citizenship?
You need to think about what it would mean to a family with roots here, jobs here, children who only know this country to be forced to uproot and move to a country with poor opportunities, high unemployment, and not know anyone there now.
They are illegal immigrants, unoccupied by parents! Do you see how they are using children to invade our country?
Why are you not holding Mexico responsible for inhumane human rights? They know there are children coming and being raped along the way. Why should we take in other countries people, just because they don't want them?
I think we are on the path to a complete government meltdown. But I think it's pretty normal. I can't think of very many countries on earth where there hasn't been some kind of coup or meltdown.
I could see the current two party system being eliminated and replaced by a multi-party system.
I really don't care about your definitions of "progressive". All kinds of people have called themselves "progressive." But it is not a mystery what a Marxist/socialist is, and if you think Hillary is one, you are either out of touch or irretrievably brainwashed.
There you go again.
"Progressive" has a definition, even if you don't care to know what it is. It isn't "whatever you want it to be."
There began a "progressive movement" in the United States, which was imported from Europe. Woodrow Wilson is often called the "Father of the American Progressive Movement," but he wasn't really.
"Progressivism" is Marxist/socialism. You need to study up. You see, I have done the study and the research from various sources, including, but not limited to, a Constitution course from Hillsdale College.
No brainwashing involved. Just diligent study and research.
Once again, the policy platform of the current Republican candidate is virtually indistinguishable from those of Caesar Chavez
Except Chavez's organization took to beating illegals up as they crossed the boarder on a couple of occasions.... Trump has absolutely NOT advocated such violence.
Oh, good grief!
You people have stooped to a new low.
Have you seen the Youtube video that is making the rounds of Bill Clinton's 1995 State of the Union address, where he talks about the problem of illegal immigration? When you hear his comments, he sounds very much like Donald Trump today. Strange that the Leftists are now hammering Trump for suggesting policies that one of their own suggested in 1995.
