“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.”
Problem is, no opposition party in the (D)istrict of (C)riminals.

And the Republican plan is to help them.

Ya been asleep for 30++ years?
You keep whining about Democrats?
Americans have begged, volunteered to protect the borders only to be called vigilantes, they've voted, protested, screamed, petitioned, won elections like CA 187 only to have their ballots burned and election declared illegal and on and on and on....

Elias Gonzales was sent back to Cuba by Clinton and Reno, sent back at the point of a gun.
This country is as corrupt as any third world nation and is going down. Thank the Democrat voters for this mess.
The Obozo administration is allowing the United States of America to be invaded by foreigners and is doing nothing to stop the invasion. Are we at grounds for impeachment yet? Geeez.
