Des Moines (United States) (AFP) - President Barack Obama called anti-immigrant sentiment in Republicans' presidential campaign discourse "un-American", appearing without naming names, to be condemning the incendiary rhetoric of frontrunner Donald Trump.
"This whole anti-immigrant sentiment that's out there in our politics right now is contrary to who we are," Obama said during a town hall meeting at an Iowa high school.
"Because unless you are a Native American, your family came from some place else."
.. SNIP ..
Without naming Trump or his rivals, Obama denounced that on Monday. "We can have a legitimate debate about how to set up an immigration system that is fair and orderly and lawful," Obama told the crowd.
"But, when I hear folks talking as if somehow these kids are different from my kids, or less worthy in the eyes of God, that somehow they are less worthy of our respect and consideration and care -- I think that's un-American. I do not believe that. I think it is wrong."

Well if anyone would know ‘un-American’ it’s Barky.
Un-American has been his guiding principle his whole life.
Notice how the lefties never use the term “illegal immigrant.” It’s always just “immigrant” to deceive the LIVs out there who consider themselves immigrants.
