I don't think it's totally incorrect - as a percentage of the South, at least, slave imports surpassed Hispanic immigration. As for another "Civil War", I think that is what this compromise legislation is seeking to head off.

The only "compromise" that's necessary would be to start with a border-security-only bill, so as to earn the American people's confidence that this will not be a repeat of 1986. If Congressmen don't want to do that, then they are the ones being unreasonable. There's no excuse not to go that route first.
