“We are a nation of immigrants.. but we are a nation of laws. Our nation is rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country…
“Illegal immigrants take jobs from citizens or legal immigrants, they impose burdens on our taxpayers…
“That is why we are doubling the number of border guards, deporting more illegal immigrants than ever before, cracking down on illegal hiring, barring benefits to illegal aliens, and we will do more to speed the deportation of illegal immigrants arrested for crimes…
“It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws that has occurred in the last few years.. .and we must do more to stop it.”
President Bill Clinton 1995 State of the Union address,
Yep, there are many such quotes by Dim politicians at least up into the 1990s, then they realized they could only win national elections will more and more minority voters.
