Coleman Livingston Blease (October 8, 1868 – January 19, 1942) was a South Carolina politician who belonged to the Democratic Party.
He served as a state legislator, 90th Governor of South Carolina (1911–1915), and U.S.
Senator. Blease, a unrepentant white supremacist, was notorious for playing on the prejudices of poor whites to gain their votes.
He advocated lynching and was against education for African-Americans.
As senator, he advocated penalties for interracial couples attempting to get married, as well as criticizing First Lady Lou Hoover for inviting a black guest to tea at the White House.
Livingston Blease was the architect of Section 1325, which criminalized unauthorized entry into the United States rather than treating it as a civil infraction, and created the notion of "illegal immigrant".
