Is this current anti immigrant attitude just a repeat of nativism like that of the 1820's and 1830's against Irish immigrants. You can't say it was them same. You can't say "oh my ancestors came here legally" You're ancestors probably came here and had to work to pay the passage off. Well guess what? That's not available anymore. Plus back then they accepted low skilled workers, not anymore. Yes it is anti immigrant behavior, you just know that there are laws protecting legal immigrants, so you don't go after them. Soon there will be laws barring American companies from exploiting workers in third world countries, then there won't be any need for them to come here just to be hated by a bunch of "patriots" who won't even vote or go to war themselves.
