The democRATs have worked for years and they are not going to lose ground without a huge fight. If the illegal immigrants were prevented from voting with ID checks and if they were not counted in the Census then the democRATs would not care about them anymore.
Yes, this has always been about creating a permanent voting majority.
Hell, they openly admitted it on occasion.
It started 30 years earlier.
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, was a significant piece of legislation that transformed U.S. immigration policy. Signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, 1965, it abolished the National Origins Formula, which had favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while discriminating against those from Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The Act eliminated the quota system that had been in place since the 1920s.
It aimed to create a more equitable immigration process based on skills and family relationships rather than national origin.
It introduced a seven-category preference system prioritizing:
* Family reunification (relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent residents)
* Professionals and individuals with specialized skills
* Refugees
It set a limit of 120,000 immigrants per year from the Western Hemisphere for the first time and established a more balanced approach to immigration from various regions.
The 1965 Act significantly changed the demographic landscape of the United States. Before its enactment, the population was predominantly non-Hispanic white. Since then, the share of Hispanic and Asian American populations has increased dramatically, leading to projections that by 2043, the U.S. will become a “majority minority” nation.
