    Former President Bill Clinton would support the huge wall by current President Trump judging by this speech he made in 1995.

    He says the exact same things President Trump talks about today, is there really a difference between democrat and republican leadership?

    The difference from the left point of view is very simple: Clinton was a democrat so what he said was wonderful, when Trump said basically the same thing, he is now a republican so he is a racist pig who hates pregnant women and children.

    For those who don’t want to watch the video of Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union Address, here is the transcript of his comment on immigration:

    "All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it."

    Can I get a leftist to tell me what was the big difference in what Trump is saying?
