I’ll do this in a couple of posts.

“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.”

Thank you for providing me with more knowledge. I guess we now know the reason why both were probably assassinated. By whom & on the orders of whom will most likely never become public knowledge.

The Democrats had the trifecta supermajorities in both chambers of Congress, as well as, the presidency. But most Republicans in the northern states voted for the immigration policy changes, while southern (Democrat) politicians voted Nay, or didn't vote at all. Because they knew they couldn't win anyway, but not voting at least appeased their constituents.

But also realize that unionizing governments at all levels, allowed for Democrats to install their people in positions of power, making it all but impossible to remove them by the next administration & ensuring that the majority of government workers would vote for Democrats to keep them in power.

It was more than just a body blow. 🙂

But I stand corrected, JFK did more than I had realized to aid in the destruction of this nation. Thanks again. 👍
