No more immigration from Third World countries. Deport all illegal aliens and reverse the demographic warfare that has resulted in a path to white minority status
Repeal the Immigration Act of 1965!
Tracing Liberal Woes to 1965 Immigration Act (or, how Ted Kennedy destroyed America)

What went wrong with liberalism? Current and former liberals, like myself, should be even more interested in this puzzle than conservatives are. There are no simple answers nor a single pivotal moment of error, but the 30th anniversary this month of the 1965 Immigration Act illuminates the issue.
The Immigration Act was given only modest attention at its inception and even less in histories of the Great Society. In retrospect, however, it can be seen as perhaps the single most nation-changing measure of the era. The Hart-Celler Act, as it was called at the time, abolished the national origins quota system installed in the 1920s, shifting the basis for selection from an applicants nation of birth to his or her family relationships or skills.
A few critics questioned whether the new legislation, originally launched by President John F. Kennedy, would enlarge the immigrant flow and shift it from Europe to Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Supporters emphatically denied this. The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) said. Attorney General Robert Kennedy predicted 5,000 immigrants from the entire Asia-Pacific Triangle, after which immigration from that source would virtually disappear.
The effect of the bill on our population [in numbers] would be quite insignificant, Rep. Emanuel Celler, the act’s co-sponsor, said.
The importance of the law lay not in any change in immigrations volume or composition, sponsors said, but in its overdue elimination of the odious discrimination in US immigration law in favor of or against people on the basis of where they were born. The 1965 law was thus seen more as an extension of the civil rights movement than an immigration measure.
But 30 years later, it’s clear that the assurances of the law’s sponsors were untrue. The number of legal immigrants immediately jumped to 400,000, then to 800,000 by 1980, and reached well over 1 million in the early 1990s, when those given amnesty in 1986 and their relatives are added to the total. Illegal immigrants add 300,000 or more annually, many coming to join legally admitted relatives. Total immigration last year was 1.2 million, according to Center for Immigration Studies calculations. Whats worse, the number of legal admissions is set by statute, unrelated to overall economic trends such as unemployment.
And the result has been a Balkanized America wracked by ethnic hatreds and violence unseen since the end of the Indian Wars in the 1880s.
