The White Elephant is that for nearly 45 years, the white European is put at the bottom of the immigration list.
The advent of the Hart-Cellar act was the start of the trip down the toilet. Prior to that time, the immigrants were tightly controlled. We accepted only the best. That was the reason we held immigrants in high regard. Hart-Cellar opened the door to the dregs and chain migration of families. The quality control went down the crapper. We need to return to the old policy.
