That was the anti LEGAL immigration movement.
We are the anti ILLEGAL immigration movement.

What if we detained or deported all employers that hire illegals? I mean these folks are CRIMINALS who are helping CRIMINALS stay in this country. They are aiding and abetting the invasion that so many speak of.
Try this, it's more to the salient point: "Confuse the two and damn the Republic"
That was an anti ALL immigration movement.
