Slaves didn’t come here illegally.

Freed Slaves not being sent back to Africa en mass was a colossal mistake and America has paid dearly for it. Illegal immigration is equally going to kill the Republic further.

So, if I understand correctly, a slave picking cotton on a southern plantation had a much better quality of life and more rights than an illegal alien.

Which leads me to ask, what f#cking and twisted alternate reality does the author live in?

A point of history that is seldom spoken of is the Free Slaves of Louisiana that fought in the civil war for The South. Although rare some Free Slaves also became plantation owners and businessmen. In South Louisiana and in particular to the New Orleans area. New Orleans has always been a melting pot of many races. Sadly today it is much different. The free blacks fought for the South as it was in their particular financial interest.

My post is just a footnote of politically incorrect history though it is true.

More than a few had plantations. These were mostly ‘high yellows’.

Simple Solution :

The children can stay with their parents while their parents are in the chain-gangs on the Southern Border digging the MOAT (in front of the Wall) for 10 years, and THEN they can all TOGETHER be expelled from the country for their crime.

Simply say to any libtard - “what is it about ‘Illegal’ you dont get ? Then propose a “Libtard Tax” ON THEM to help pay for the whole project.

Shrieking Libtards - smells like Victory.

More than a few people have connected Donald Trump's decision to tear apart families seeking asylum at our southern border to the history of American slave-owners separating parents and children for whatever reason they saw fit.

More than a few people are idiots, but I repeat myself.

Great - now we can just enslave them under the law they cite and claim it’s a “step in the right direction”......should make some folks happy that progress is being made....

They did if they came after 1808. As of Jan 1 1808, it became illegal to import slaves into the country.

“A point of history that is seldom spoken of is the Free Slaves of Louisiana that fought in the civil war for The South.”
Presume you are referring to the 1st Louisiana Native Guard Regt of Militia. Formed in late 1861, it was disbanded in April of 1862. The Louisiana legislature passed a law in Jan 1862 the limited militia service to “free white males capable of bearing arms. Before disbanding, the 1st LNG saw no combat. After it was disbanded, Some of its members did join the 1st Louisiana Native Guard U.S. This unit eventually became the 75th USCT. It would appear if free slaves of Louisiana fought in the Civil War, it was for the Union.
