How the Immigration Act of 1965 Changed the Face of America

[Beowulf9]

"The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants,” lead supporter Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy (D-Mass.) told the Senate during debate. “It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”

The Swimmer lied through his teeth.

Since the Bush League took over the GOP in 1989, the flooding of the country with foreigners has been increasing exponentially and the GOP’s main purpose has been to bock the citizens from stopping it.

Lyndon Johnson. How quickly people forget who he was and how evil he was. I continually am amazed when people think he was not so bad a president. When people think even Jimmy Carter was worse than LBJ.

Yes, that picture shows a very diverse crowd. The legislation did nothing to change the ethnic makeup of the country. /s

1965 marked the start of a calamity for America’s society, and 1971 marked the start of a calamity her economy.

Another picture illustrating the diversity that has always been the democRAT party.

Is the guy on the far right wearing black face that went bad?

[DaBroasta]

Yes, that picture shows a very diverse crowd.

Indeed that was the first thought that came to my mind. The only ones missing in the picture are Bobby Byrd and Al Gore Sr.

“and the GOP’s main purpose has been to bock the citizens”

Yup, they have been bocking the citizens...

[Lurkinanloomin]

Same for McCain.

Blocking the citizens from stopping it.

(never had a misspelling?)

BOB GRANT used to talk about this on the radio…back in the day.

Democrat move #1. Scream racism at anything that isn't advancing your agenda.

Democrat move #1. Emphatically attack the opposition of doing what you are doing or declare what you are doing is not happening.

America’s history provides living lesson of how not to run country for any ethnic group.

It’s kind of strange that individually American whites are intelligent, ingenious, artistic and hardworking. But as racial group, they are like sand, doesn’t hold together.

I start to doubt whites were racial group

[joma89]

It destroyed the face of America. We are now just another s-—hole country like so many others out there.

[BiglyCommentary]

It was not a misspelling but a freudian slip. You and I both know they have been boinking the citizens... lol

[Lurkinanloomin]

Without lube, for decades.....
