Kennedy, speaking of the effects of the act, said: “First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.... It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”

Thanks for elaborating on it.

We can, and should, deport every single illegal alien, and any dependent children they have responsibility for, regardless of citizenship, but any real immigration reform must address this fraud perpetrated on Americans in 1965.

And Sweden should do something similar, in the unsolicited opinion of this non-citizen of Sweden. Sweden didn't even have the colonies used to justify importing foreigners into other European countries over the objections of the Native Europeans - not unless we remember Delaware and environs, and Saint-Barthelemy, which wasn't very populous then, and isn't now; Finland; or maybe Russia from long, long ago.
