I’ve thought a lot about the demographic problem we have for the past 5-6 yrs. Basically, we are in deep do do. The liberals will certainly beat us in the battle of the beds. Take my state, CA, for instance. Literally millions of illegal aliens, many registered to vote as democrat. A blind eye is turned...
Then there are the legal naturalize immigrants from Mexico. They are nearly 100% democrat voters w/ few exceptions. They have lots of kids, just love the free gravy train that CA gives them such as welfare, college education, DLs, & other money. No way they are EVER gonna vote republican or conservative except for a few pro-lifers there.
Thanks to idiots like Teddy Kennedy & morons like Gov. Moonbeam, the LEGAL immigration policies have changed from accepting Northern Europe, Japan & Australia to almost exclusively accepting poor, uneducated, unskilled & often sick immigrants from Africa, Mexico, Arabic nations & fasacist gov’t such as Russia.
Even though conservatives usually have more kids than liberals & don’t shack up as much, we simply cannot keep up w/ the legal & illegal immigrants. The federal & state illegal & illegal immigration policies have destroyed our nation. And, it is permanent as well as just getting worse. America will never recover from O & his policies & he will simply open the floodgates now. We are screwed!
From unionizing government, to Vietnam, to the 1965 immigration act, JFK was the end of us.
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.
I’m a Californian, too, and your post is right on. For years I’ve heard Republicans say, “Oh, but the illegals are wonderful people! Good Catholics! Hard workers with family values! Natural conservatives! If we just reason with them, they’ll see the light and vote for us.” I want to scream whenever I hear it because I KNOW it isn’t so. Some of us have known it for years, nobody listened to us, and now it’s way too late to turn things around.
