Did you read post 39?
Yes. I admit I haven’t read JFK’s book, but I’d be surprised if he outright called for a return to mass immigration and an immigration policy that would alter the nation’s ethnic balance. I say that because the loathsome Ted Kennedy explicitly said that the 1965 bill would not do either of those things. If I’m wrong then I could at least respect JFK’s honesty on that front, but I figured he just wanted to make it easier for Irish to immigrate.
I also feel that way because politicians even today are rarely honest and upfront about a desire to massively increase legal immigration. During the debate over the Gang of Eight bill, the supporters of it, from the gang members, to Pelosi, to Obama, to the mainstream media, none of them every spoke about how the bill would at least double legal immigration. They certainly never bragged about it like they did the phony enforcement and punitive measures in the bill.
