America was full enough many decades ago, JFK had a dream, and today we are living in it, as the left imports voters by the millions and destroys our once great country.
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 Bostons 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 Kennedys 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 JFKs 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 this, it was a heartening read at a time when what he describes in the media and among our elites is such a depressing reality. I surely do hope the sane people can take the wheel on this issue in Washington.
He needs to give it up on the libertarians though.
Just look at how it is now. If the same pace of invasion and 'diversity' continues how will it be in say 5 years or even 2 or 3 years?
Warning though, his website has been listed on Southern Poverty Law as racist.
