White hood replicating the Klu Klux Klan is a far reach. Illegal immigrants breaking the law coming into the country illegally is nowhere in the ballpark of foundation black americans hanging from trees, genitals amputated and being burned alive just for legally being. Not comparable AT ALL!

With all this anger aimed at immigrants today I wondered about my family tree. How many generations back to find a family member who was an immigrant to America? Not many, it was my paternal grandfather. He and my grandmother speaking no English left their families in Prague to farm in rural Wisconsin.Today would I ostracize him as a criminal, without a trial? Would I grant him a path to citizenship? What about his children born in the US, my father being one of his six?
