Mary Jo Kopechne unable to comment.

That alone is reason to vote against it.

I can’t believe these dinosaurs think dropping the name “Ted Kennedy” impresses anybody outside the rest of the fossils in the day room-—er, I mean the Senate cloakroom.

You gotta know it’s a bad deal if Ted Kennedy laid the foundation for it.

Thanks ,John, Lindsey, Marco.
You really stood up for us Conservatives.

Kennedy also said in 1986 that that would be the “last amnesty”.

Funny how The Hill neglected to mention that.

Even though he is dead Kennedy is still a nation destroying POS. Hopefully this murdering traitor is in the bowels of hell.

In 1965, during the Senate floor debate over the Immigration Act, Ted Kennedy stated that:

"First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually...Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset."

How quick these politicians forget the Simpson-Mazzoli Act.

Disappointed Rubio is pushing more amnesty. Guess he forgot Simpson-Mazzoli too.

Kennedy led the Senate effort to reform the nation’s immigration laws in 1965, when Congress ended the quota system that favored immigrants from Northern European countries.

And replaced it with a system to bring in entire families from the most impoverished and backward nations, ones with no cultural connection to our country.

ANd he did it while promising, on the Senate floor, that it would change the ethnic demographic of the US.

The only thing Teddy ever did to move the country forward while in the Senate was die
Rumor has it that since his death he has been cold stone sober and lost a few pounds

Kennedy is dead. Let him stay dead. He was awful enough when he was alive.
