In 1965 Teddy said:

Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA)

‘Out of deference to the critics, I want to comment on ... what the bill will not do. First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same ... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset ... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, S.500 will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and economically deprived nations of Africa and Asia. In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think. Thirdly, the bill will not permit the entry of subversive persons, criminals, illiterates, or those with contagious disease or serious mental illness. As I noted a moment ago, no immigrant visa will be issued to a person who is likely to become a public charge ... the charges I have mentioned are highly emotional, irrational, and with little foundation in fact. They are out of line with the obligations of responsible citizenship. They breed hate of our heritage.’ (Senate Part 1, Book 1, pp. 1-3)

In the 1950s, 53 percent of all immigrants were Europeans and just 6 percent were Asians; by the 1990s, just 16 percent were Europeans and 31 percent were Asians. The percentages of Latino and African immigrants also jumped significantly.

I work in the International Terminal of an Airport several times a month.

Almost without fail, I'll encounter a person who's only English vocabulary is "Visa Lottery" and has all their worldly possessions in a burlap sack.

I guess some guy from Algeria or Bangladesh who speaks no English, can't read even his own language, has no concept of math or technology, is just going to strike out for himself, assimilate, and become a big success.

Fortunately for this motley crew, there's legions of liberals working to get them on public assistance, and then send for every last relative to come join them.

Diversity is our greatest strength.

In 1965 “they” (Teddy and the democrat libs) were also saying that the North Vietnamese would peacefully reunite that country without retaliation against the South, and no dominos would fall or genocide occur in SEA

Millions of human bones lying silently in mass graves in Vietnam Cambodia and Laos (and now Burma) and under the surrounding waters...speak to that stupidity which has never been called to account...but will be by a greater power

He's correct, that is why he has backed permitting those who immigrate WITHOUT obtaining visas the opportunity to seek amnesty.

Citizenship for scofflaws. Socialism by running the numbers.

Now that right there sounds like President elect "Senator Government" and his wife and political mentors.

A man endorsed by Fat Ted for the presidency.
