Breitbart ^ | 13 Jul 2026 | Neil Munro

“Legal immigration… in many ways, is actually worse than illegal immigration” for ordinary Americans, Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) told Breitbart News Saturday. Politically, “I think the tide is turning, and you know, as I’m speaking with my colleagues, and more and more are starting to voice the concerns around this” legalized inflow, Moore told host Matthew Boyle.

“””””These stayed in place until they were repealed by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which shifted the focus back to family reunification and labor skills, radically altering the demographics of legal immigration.-—NIH”””””

JFK ran on chain immigration, it was in his platform and came to fruition when his immigration goals were reached in the 1965 law passed on his death.

This is the democrat party platform that JFK ran on in 1960.
Immigration:

We shall adjust our immigration, nationality and refugee policies to ELIMINATE DISCRIMINATION AND TO ENABLE MEMBERS OF SCATTERED FAMILIES ABROAD TO BE UNITED WITH RELATIVES ALREADY IN OUR MIDST.

THE NATIONAL-ORIGINS QUOTA SYSTEM OF LIMITING IMMIGRATION CONTRADICTS THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF THIS NATION. It is inconsistent with our belief in the rights of man. This system was instituted after world war I AS A POLICY OF DELIBERATE DISCRIMINATION BY A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS.

The revision of immigration and nationality laws we seek will implement our belief that enlightened immigration, naturalization and refugee policies and humane administration of them are important aspects of our foreign policy.

These laws will bring greater skills to our land, reunite families, permit the United States to meet its fair share of world programs of rescue and rehabilitation, and take advantage of immigration as an important factor in the growth of the American economy.

In this World Refugee Year it is our hope to achieve admission of our fair share of refugees. We will institute policies to alleviate suffering among the homeless wherever we are able to extend our aid.

We must remove the distinctions between native-born and naturalized citizens to assure full protection of our laws to all. There is no place in the United States for “second-class citizenship.”

The protections provided by due process, right of appeal, and statutes of limitation, can be extended to non-citizens without hampering the security of our nation.

We commend the Democratic Congress for the initial steps that have recently been taken toward liberalizing changes in immigration law. However, this should not be a piecemeal project and we are confident that a Democratic President in cooperation with Democratic Congresses will again implant a humanitarian and liberal spirit in our nation’s immigration and citizenship policies.

I have said for years that we don’t need even one more immigrant in the US. We have 20-30 million illegals we dont know what to do with.

What about all the refugees after WWII?

A situation that gave John Kennedy's mis-thought treatise posted above the impetus toward approval from guilt-tripped politicians of the time. Truman had rejected the resettlement of all the displaced Jews after the U.S. and the allies had just rescued them from certain extinction - another fine example of "caring, compassionate and inclusive" Democrat hypocrisy that led to the 1965 Act's passage with little opposition.

I personally believe that Epstein was actively compromising and recording influential Americans to collect potential leverage for the Israeli government - a solid "Never Again" insurance policy to guarantee the Jewish people would never be left out in the cold again. It's the only explanation that makes sense out of that affair and all the effort expended to bury it.
