With the obvious exception of Ronald Reagan, no president before or since has spoken of these things of importance so well.
Thank you!
What was JFK’s stand on adultery and general womanizing?
You know, these “moral issues”.
Well, we know where he stood on replacing the American people, that he disliked so much.
“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.
In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960. In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.
After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”
The world was so much less polarized then.
Now we bite each other heads off in our own camp
Truly, JFK’s Assassination changed the world.
It just did.
Amazing how every move of the president from FW to Dallas was defined to the minute.
Streets, times, conveyances.
My Lord we were innocent.
