Question: If someone sells you on something with false advertising and it does the exact opposite of what was promised, are you not entitled to return the product and get a refund? In fact, if the product caused you harm, should you not in addition be compensated for damages? Consider that when Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) was pushing the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 (S.500) on the Senate floor, he said, "First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually." Actually, he was right. We now absorb more than a million immigrants annually.
Kennedy next stated, "Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same."
The average yearly number of immigrants prior to '65 was 250,000. Even with Common Core math, that's still less than one million-plus.
Kennedy also claimed, "Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset." His brother, Senator Robert Kennedy (D-N.Y.), chimed in, "In fact, the distribution of limited quota immigration can have no significant effect on the ethnic balance of the United States." Yet as the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) wrote in 2015, "[i]n 1965, whites of European descent [constituted] 84 percent of the U.S. population, while [h]ispanics accounted for 4 percent and Asians for less than 1 percent. Fifty years on, 62 percent of the U.S. population is white, 18 percent is [h]ispanic, and 6 percent is Asian. By 2065, just 46 percent of the U.S. population will be white, the [h]ispanic share will rise to 24 percent, Asians will [constitute] 14 percent and the country will be home to 78 million foreign[-]born, according to Pew projections."

Yeah and some people still paint the Kennedy clan as a pack of saints.
The 1965 Immigration Act is UnNaturalization.
Yes!!!
JoMa
If only Kennedy could be dug up and executed for his many crimes. Meanwhile 1/2 of the country wildly cheers to ongoing destruction of the US and will present their throats to their new overlords.
Yeah the swimmer and LBJ were wondrous at manufacturing votes and voters.
Beside getting the Texas crooked democrat machine to hand JFK the state.
When the civil rights act passed LBJ said, “I’ll have those ni**ers voting Democratic for 200 years.”
Well, I don’t give a crap about it anymore since I am 71 and have watched our country go right down the toilet by “so called” immigration rules and laws that were said to benefit the diversity of our country...only to bring us down to the level of the animals that came here to bask in free food, housing and money at the expense of our freedoms, social adhesion, laws and morals. The only reason for letting most of these worthless animals in was that they would vote DEMOCRAT no matter what. I’ve watched this America I once knew growing up falter and waste away to the point it is now. I am proud to say that I lived in the “old America” but sad to say I lived long enough to see it change into a socialist paradise.
Yes, we need real rollback on immigration laws and on the illegals already in the country.
But here’s a nice tidbit of good news:
I am 73 and I agree with you. I would like to point out the true reason though. American fertility rate does not and has not been positive for the past 40 years. Prior to the 60’s American families averaged above 2 children. Today is is 1.something which means in time we shrink to nothing.
The democraps realized if natural born Americans cannot replicate themselves tax revenue will suffer and put an end to the elite governing class so they concocted a crazy immigration policy that would ensure population growth.
That also explains the darkening of American skin as well because most immigrants are of color and also white women father black children today which was actually illegal prior to the Civil Rights Act. Where Americans were at 85% white back in the 50’s, it certainly is not that today.
This might sound racist and I have to admit I don’t like America’s present situation and you can call me a racist all you like because I am one now. I thought Trump would change all that but I’m starting to doubt that he will be able to.
I’ll go to my grave with this epitaph: “We should have picked our own cotton.”
10-year moratorium on immigration would be an appropriate replacement.
You missed the fact that job automation creates need to reduce population, and the Caucasians took that road naturally.
Eugene McCarthy, along with Teddy was one of the original co-sponsors of the Immigration Act of 1965. In his later years, McCarthy regretted this, saying that “unrecognized by virtually all of the bill’s supporters, were provisions which would eventually lead to unprecedented growth in numbers and the transfer of policy control from the elected representatives of the American people to individuals wishing to bring relatives to this country (chain migration).”
Agreed, together with tearing down all the memorials to the Kennedys. Since we are tearing down historical monuments, I would also support tearing down MLK statues and road signs.
The late, great Bob Grant was truly a prophet.
Oswald killed the wrong Kennedy.
