This veiled endorsement of violence against immigrants is typical of Edwards whose show is funded by notorious hate groups. His knowledge of history leaves much to be desired. America was not accepted as a First World power for quite a while—especially by the First World nations of Europe. In 1900 Argentina was a richer country than the United States. The great growth in American wealth, culture and power took place in the 20th century with the help of large immigrations of the “dregs of Europe” and elsewhere. The Irish, Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Chinese, Croations, Mexicans were all immigrants from other than the First World yet it was they who helped make America a First World nation.

As in most weak economic times there were more people than usual opposed to immigration. Of the opponents of immigration some were not racist, but a large number were very much racist. Also the racist organizations all opposed immigration. Historically almost all anti-immigration movements were racist. First it was against the Irish, then the Germans, followed by Chinese, Japanese, Italians, Eastern European Jews, and at the time of this quote it was against the Mexicans and other Hispanics.
He was agreeing with the Right Wing racist Dutch politician Geert Wilders that one of the dangers of immigration of different races and ethnicities is that their children would not be capable or able to contribute to America or in his view make America Great Again as it has been diminished by all these immiogrant babies of the last few generations. There are very few areas of civilization where America is not greater today than ever before.
