Breitbart.com ^ | June 25, 2016 | Julia Hahn

The Washington Post is reporting that U.S. might not be able to follow in the U.K.’s footsteps in reclaiming its economic independence because of the nation’s demographic makeup, which is the result of four decades of record high green card issuances to foreign nationals. In a piece entitled, “No, Brexit Isn’t A Good Sign For Trump,” Washington Post’s Kim Soffen writes.

Not everything.
They also use ‘class’ and ‘gender’ to divide and smear.

Loathsome Lyndon Johnson signed the 1965 Third World Invasion Act.

It was Teddy Swimmer Kennedy who drafted it. The original idea came from his brother JFK.

Votes, votes, votes. All about votes.

Ted Kennedy’s Real Legacy: 50 Years of Ruinous Immigration Law

by Katie McHugh, Mar 30, 2015

On Monday, President Barack Obama gave an emotional speech commemorating the $79 million replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

The thrust of Obama’s speech condemned America as an unimaginative, prejudiced, unambitious country whose only hope lies in liberals who selflessly dedicate their lives to leading it out of the darkness.

The replica of the Senate chamber celebrated the “hard, frustrating, never-ending” war progressives wage against America on its behalf, Obama declared.

“We live in a time of such great cynicism about all our institutions. And we are cynical about government and about Washington, most of all. It’s hard for our children to see, in the noisy and too often trivial pursuits of today’s politics, the possibilities of our democracy — our capacity, together, to do big things,” Obama said. “And this place can help change that. It can help light the fire of imagination, plant the seed of noble ambition in the minds of future generations. Imagine a gaggle of school kids clutching tablets, turning classrooms into cloakrooms and hallways into hearing rooms, assigned an issue of the day and the responsibility to solve it.”

Children in America are brought up with a backwards view of the world, Obama said. Their moral universes are small and prejudiced, but progressive governing will open their minds.

“Imagine their moral universe expanding as they hear about the momentous battles waged in that chamber and how they echo throughout today’s society. Great questions of war and peace, the tangled bargains between North and South, federal and state; the original sins of slavery and prejudice; and the unfinished battles for civil rights and opportunity and equality,” said America’s first black president, elected after he promised Americans a “post-racial presidency.”

Obama obliquely referred to Kennedy’s role in pushing his influential political accomplishment: The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.

“Towards the end of his life, Ted reflected on how Congress has changed over time. And those who served earlier I think have those same conversations. It’s a more diverse, more accurate reflection of America than it used to be, and that is a grand thing, a great achievement,” Obama said.

In this case, Obama is right: It’s worth reflecting on how much America has changed since 1965, and examine the effects of the legislation Kennedy promoted that brought it about.

The passage of the act marked a fundamental change in America’s immigration policy: Rather than serving the interests of Americans and national unity by setting limits on immigration, the act put “family unification” as the top priority, serving the interests of foreigners first.

Kennedy declared:

“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, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and 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… The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”

How have Kennedy’s promises stood up to the passage of time?

The costs Americans pay in lowered wages, strained social safety nets, their children’s blood, their declining quality of life, the chaos of sharing space with an ever-swelling criminal population aided and abetted by the nation’s elite, the berating Americans of every stripe endure when they dare ask their country merely be preserved — that’s the real legacy of Ted Kennedy.

That the ruling class celebrates his legacy indicates that they don’t plan to stop transforming America any time soon.

Being guilted into what one SHOULD do has to be rejected. The effort should always be rebuffed with, “Don’t SHOULD on me”! Say it fast, you will get it.

The liberal narrative has always been designed to get people to vote as mindless drones, based on their ethnic background. It also is designed to shame and ostracize those who step out of the crowd and dare to be independent.

It is mind-bogglingly racist to assume that because a person is not white, that person has no appreciation or need for freedom and prosperity. Freedom is non-discriminatory; everyone benefits from participating in capitalism.

Just thought of something else. How do we declare economic independence when we are not dependent on any other country to shore up our economic shortfalls?

What we need to do is force economic independence on every country that is dependent on us. Everyone will be better off for it.

“I would like to see President Trump implement a policy where middle class families are encouraged to have children - 3 or 4 per family. “

He will, simply by fixing the economy so that middle-class couples can afford to have children. It costs money to raise a child, and that’s probably the key reason white people are not having kids, because unlike blacks and hispanics, for whom sex and pregancy have no economic consequences because their “families” are “funded” by the white folks who pay for them to procreate, whites are “forced” to pay their own way!

Unless we reduce legal permanent immigration from the current 1.1 million a year, the Dems will be the permanent majority party. Over 35 million legal permanent immigrants have entered this country since 1990. The impact demographically and electorally is destroying this country.

The GOP is all sold out to globalists. Who want to hire illegals and send American jobs overseas.

Legal immigrants are a bigger problem in terms of jobs and wages. We bring in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year and 640,000 guest workers annually. They are taking the jobs and depressing wages. All this at a time when we have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years.

Within the next fifty yrs, it will be apparent that the Dim Party is bigoted; and it will be shameful to be a Dim. It will be like being a Nazi. They will be so ashamed they will form a new party.

The Left is getting really far out.
