benjamin franklin and alexander hamilton each had a particular animus against german immigrants.izable i percentage of germans came after the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 were artisans. in 1850 half the immigrants were irish peasants settled in the cities of eastern seaboard. in the 19th century hardly any large city did not have riots between old and new labor populations. immigration as a subject and immigrants as voters to be manipulated have been a factor in american political life. one election in new york city in the late 19th tammany hall tried to move polling date to a jewish holiday. it has been true of american life that one of the ways which despised white immigrants gain acceptance and share of national identity is by subscribing to the racial order of segregation. theng chinese exclusion act of 1882 put a stop to competition for jobs from chinese laborers in the west. the dawes act of 1887 created reservations celebrated by white politicians as honorable conclusion to the indian problem. in 1896 the supreme court upheld racial segregation as law with plessy versus fe

benjamin franklin said only virtuous people are exchan virtuous capable of freedom.us in the long run. >> you're shaking your head no? >> i don't know what to say. the founding fathers talked about thely sensuousness of the press too. and the that she knows troushds judgment, i've never seen anything like this. i agree with the statement that jeff sessions started it. he said i have no reason to doubt these women. that's when being fair is, but no reason to doubt roy moore. different than al franken and bill clinton. they dmatd what they did. this guy said he didn't do it. when keilar moore stood on the steps, she said he served in vietnam for five years, so he had a life record that none of this ever came up until twoo weeks ago. that doesn't mean we should and the people of alabama are looking up and you know what they're saying? if you keep al frank no one office and keep lecturing us, we're going to elect the man that's pro-life. >> even if he's charlatan. >> i want to tell you what the women are alabama are saying right now at least according to the latest poll

it kind of reminds me of the guy who went to benjamin franklin in philadelphia shortly after the constitution was adopted. they said mr. franklin, what have you given us? he stopped and paused for a republican and said a republic, if you can keep it. and we have kept it. we have kept it because we have subscribed to our constitution but because we have a militia and a military, we're willing to fight for what we believe in, protect our citizens, keep our country free. so the country that our founding fathers gave to us that was nurtured in the early days of this republic that now is almost hundreds of years old still is there today for lots of reasons, but principally the undergirding foundation of a strong and vibrant military. so when veterans day comes back, give thanks to the veterans that you know. mention a couple of them like i have done here so their memory and their names never die, but also so we can lift them up at a time we pause for just a minute to say thank you for the greatest country on the face of this earth. senator blunt talked about our committee and what we have done thi
