No, but last I heard, Americans seem to view themselves as a good force in the world, upholding fairness and adhering to basic human rights. So tearing parents from children and breaking down doors in the middle of the night to do so
might be considered un-American in that respect. she said un-American, not anti-American, right?

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

This is still the image America projects to the world. Agreed it is unsustainable, but you can't blame people for still believing in it. they may be illegal, but they're still human.
And believe me, there's nothing that pisses us legals off more than illegals because they make the process harder and nastier for the rest of us.
But they're still human.
