Only half true.
He could import Eastern Europeans used to Communism if he just wanted the dependent class.
But his hatred goes a step further - gettin’ rid of whitey.
If he can’t exterminate the Evil Caucasians, he can always just drown them in a sea of non-whites.

I know someone who came here illegally 13 years ago. He crossed the Mexican border. He has been through all kinds of hearings and marriage to a US citizen to get his status here normalized. Finally last year his ship came in via one of Obama's mini-amnesties. The first thing he did was travel to his Central American homeland for a visit. For the last 13 years he was afraid to leave the US. That he would not be allowed back in.
Not that I sympathize. That's his tough luck
JFK’s intention was not to take in anti-communists fleeing Russia, the left has never cared for them as immigrants, just as they never cared for the “boat people”.
Replacing the WASP people who created this nation and refuse to vote democrat, was the goal, when JFK was running for the presidency, he knew that democrats had only won the protestant vote twice, in 1932 and 1936 and the future was looking bleak for the democrat party.
However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Bostons WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.
In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedys blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960.
In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.
After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFKs legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies. Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.
The socialists in europe and england did this to destroy their countries. Now trying it here in the USA.
