I never said a word about the GOP. It was a fight between the North and the South......not the Dems and the Rs.

Well now. The GOP was a new party then and it did favor emancipation. And the Democrats were proslavery. Just a fact of life.

It was a false economy based on the subjegation of an entire people. It would have failed at some point.......either the slaves would have risen up or as the rest of the world became more mechanized and could things more cheaply.....and better or undermining by the North.

The future failure of slavery is theoretical. It wasn't failing economically at the time. Furthermore, the south was a supplier of an important raw material (cotton) for the industrial economies of the time - both the north and Europe. The south hoped Britain would intervene to help them because of that .... they were badly wrong given Britain's antipathy to slavery by then and their development of new cotton supply regions in Egypt and India.

Who told you I am opposed to controlling illegal immigration? I strongly support its control but by the feds, not AZ and its likely unconstitutional law:

You support a party which opposes enforcing immigration law forcefully and you are attacking Arizona for its perfectly constitutional law. You're quite hypocritical on this point.
