Of course the left always finds old pictures of their saint martyrs in their Sunday's best. But the reality is at the time of the crime they had already devolved into deranged, drug-addled psychos.

Wrong. Liberals today make arguments for keeping illegals around. Exploitable cheap labor we just can't live without. And let's not forget the extra votes slaves got them. Just like illegals are stuffing the ballots today. These are the same arguments that were used to keep the institution of slavery.
Republicans were the party of standards and decency. They saw the slaves as human beings. We still see illegals as human beings. But they are breaking our laws, and are not diminished as perpetual victims.
