Liberalism makes war on America's own citizens? It makes American citizens a despised minority? How so? Liberals have been in the vanguard of every major struggle for rights fought by American citizens, from civil rights, to labor rights, from gay rights, to consumer rights. Last time I checked, that entailed all American citizens.

Bill, a government that permits illegal aliens to gather on the National Mall but forbids WWII vets from doing the same thing is not indicative of a party that thinks much of its own citizens.
How about the right of Americans to have a country of their own? This country is a republic, which comes from two Latin words meaning thing of its citizens. In other words, this country belongs to its citizens--not the world, and certainly not hostile liberal elites. As such, we have the same right to exclude foreigners from out country that we have to exclude them from our homes. And every poll, no matter how it is worded, indicates the vast majority of Americans think the country already has enough immigrants. Can you imagine the Democrats trying to tell Mexicans or Nigerians they have no right to their own country?
