Actually Ted Kennedy and some of his co-horts passed a bill in 1965 to allow people from mid-eastern countries easier
access to our country. Since Jefferson, it’s been difficult for them to come here, except on “certain” visas.
Then cllinton invaded Kosovo, Macedonia and other areas. The muslims took advantage and began to invade the countries in that area. Then after Iraq 1, Pres. Bush 1, invited the Iraqi soldiers, who threw up their hands to the Americans, during the fight, to come here. We probably paid for their transportation then allowed the $2,000.00 a month stipend “until the settled in” They have been pouring in ever since.
Now that you mention that, I remember that from writing this article on John Tunney:
Kennedys Comrade: Hunting a KGB Mole in the Democratic Party
In addition to such social contact, Kennedy and Tunney worked together politically. For instance, while Tunney was still a Congressman in 1966, he and Kennedy and their wives travelled to the Middle East on a fact-finding trip to develop an Arab-Israeli peace plan.17
