It's as old as America itself...the fight against immigrants. A hundred fifty years ago we were screaming about the Irish and Chinese, then the Italians and Jews. Seventy years ago- it was Japanese...twenty five years, the Pakistanis, and Indians. And these groups came here legally. Legal or illegal has nothing to do with it. America, for all it's "Give me your tired, your poor" and 'melting pot' rhetoric, has always been a nation of "Now that my people are here, it's time to shut the door behind us and not let anyone else in."
