"Restricted immigration is not an offensive but purely a defensive action. It is not adopted in criticism of others in the slightest degree, but solely for the purpose of protecting ourselves."

-- Calvin Coolidge

“American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. ... Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.”

--Calvin Coolidge

We sure could use a guy like that now.

Boy, do I wish we could find a candidate with the guts to voice such views. Immigration was intended to benefit the country, not to be the ultimate bank-breaking welfare system.

But I see how it’s trending. The GOP is going to go along with the compassionate amnesty crap, and conservatives who believe we have to do SOMETHING will be swept right along.
