If this law were approved, we would be living in a nation that promotes and justifies mutual distrust – something that would be contrary and unimaginable to the American forefathers

Which American forefathers? The ones who passed the Alien and Sedition Acts? The ones who thought it would be a good idea to stand up a New Army and march it into South America (and maybe scare the opposition party silent)? The ones who hired muckrakers to slander each other in the press?

The forefathers were great guys, but I would never accuse them of being "too trusting" or "tolerant to a fault."

who declared a Bill of Rights composed of one people and one united community that would not discriminate against someone because of their racial profile or nationality.

Idiots can't even get their own historical biases right. The Bill of Rights did none of those things. Equal protection under the law came with the fourteenth amendment. Which also defined citizenship.
