worthy of protections than kids who need food, or people who need a home, and universal healthcare.

If he's worried about our nation's history maybe be should crack open any primary school text book and read about our various enemies, foes and opponents instead of trying to canonize traitors and glorify treason.

Our history does not include any statues praising Mexican General Santa Ana, Hitler or Hirohito, not a single edifice stands in monumental regard to Chairman Mao or Pol. So why would find anything to praise about American traitors?
