For sure, but not a nation of illegal immigrants. Makes all the difference whether we are talking about legal or illegal immigrants.
Still a nation of that had illegal immigrants, the term was just not used. They just got the stamp 'Without Paper'.
+Wendell Sheriff Much of the public discussion this week has been around legal immigrants, as context, and whether they are threatening to "ruin" the "nature" of America in the number by which they are being allowed to enter.
+Dave Hill My point is that I don't demean the character of anyone. I decide whether I want someone in the US permanently only on their legal status. We must have laws that are enforced and we must have borders to remain a nation.
