    Kevin Gannon Retweeted Dinesh D'Souza

    Hey @DineshDSouza there was no distinction between "legal" and "illegal" immigrants in 1860 because, as you might have heard, the US was a nation *built by immigrants*https://twitter.com/DineshDSouza/status/1015300128939347968 …

    Kevin Gannon added,

    “Whether native or naturalized.” Can’t you read? The 1860 platform is talking about legal immigrants https://twitter.com/hc_richardson/status/1014934624735301632 …

        2/Immigration restriction was a product of racist policies of the late 1800s, early 1900s, when eugenics and Social Darwinism were in vogue. Surely you're familiar with those, @DineshDSouza, since they're fraudulent racist ideas cloaked in pseudo-intellectualism...just like you!

        3/ But in the period under consideration here, immigration occurred either willingly (migrants from mostly Europe, but Asia beginning w the 1848 gold rush) or unwillingly (the slave trade). There were no restrictions like you so desperately want today.

        4/ to speak of "legal" immigrants in 1860 would have gotten you a bunch of funny looks. There were many Americans who *did* want to restrict immigration in the 1840s-1850s, the so-called "Know Nothings." But they never achieved that goal, as it was a minority position.

        5/ By 1860 they were subsumed by the Republicans, and as the platform quoted by @HC_Richardson so clearly shows, the Know-Nothings' restrictionist stand was decisively repudiated.

        6/ So, @DineshDSouza, you are not only wrong, but you are getting tedious about being wrong. I know you like to poke historians to show your followers you're rivals with the "academic elite." But it ain't a rivalry if one side never wins. You're the Washington Generals of Twitter

        Perhaps his definition of illegal immigrant is someone born outside of the country who the commits a felony in the United States? Like <checks notes> Dinesh D'Souza.
