themselves.
Celler in particular tried to block the 1924 immigration reform act as a junior representative. He always maintained that particular burr in his bonnet until he got the 1965 law passed.

I wish I could remember it exactly as it was the most succinct explanation of America's last 50 years.

“Half a century ago, Democrats...”
Hate to say this, but Republicans are also at fault.
Nobody is currently building up America.
Nobody.
And, at about the same time, the snarling lobs started the government funded breeding program for DRAT voters, we call welfare.
“Gerrymandering” has been defined as the process by which politicians choose their voters, rather than the other way around.
This is gerrymandering on an international scale.
A milestone in my life was when I was a senior in high school, standing outside of my chemistry class in the hall and hearing the announcement that President Kennedy had been killed.
Little did I know at that time that was the beginning of the end of the America I knew for a Bastard named Lyndon B. Johnson would bring “the great society” down on us like a plague. Today, we see the total destruction of all levels of our society, freedoms, liberties and morals.
If we can bring them IN, what’s wrong with Trumps idea of shipping the OUT?
“So in 1965 – 50 years ago this week – Sen. Ted Kennedy passed an immigration law that has brought 59 million foreigners to our shores . . .”
Ted Kennedy favored the bill but he did not pass it. Congress passed the 1965 bill.
The vote in House was 320 to 70.
The vote in the Senate was 76 for, 2 abstain, 17 no.
Only 3 Republicans voted no in the Senate and 10 GOP members voted no in the House.
Teddy Kennedy can be blamed for many things but this legislation was passed with strong bipartisan support. In fact far more Democrats voted no than Republicans.
As a result we now have what I call the progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uniparty, and they are in total control of every branch of government, embedded deeply in all institutions and bureaucracies.
Cruz and a small handful of other conservatives are doing all they can to destroy the communist uniparty, with the eventual goal of restoring our Constitutional Free Republic, they are proven fighters on all fronts, getting beat on, bloodied and still standing, yet so many conservatives would rather have as their leader a silvered tongue magic man.
As if we don’t know how that will turn out; been there, are there, doing that right now, and they all say “play it again Sam” everybody loves a magic show, its been going on for 7 years and they want more.
A reasonable editorial— I seem to recall it was Teddy Kennedy — the waitress sandwich Senator —was the guy who wrote the law placing the Churches 501C3 status under the IRS . politicizing the Sunday Sermon just like Hitler attempted in Germany.
First thing that needs to go in our immigration laws....the Diversity Lottery.
Specifically written into the law by Teddy, it allows people in most other countries to walk into a US Embassy and toss their name into a hat to become the lucky winner of a Green Card.
I once spoke with an Irishman who entered this as the result of a bar bet, and astounded himself when he actually won. Some random bloke off the street in Yemen can do likewise.
Only countries that are already “oversubscribed” are barred from participating. That means a brain surgeon from India or some comparatively productive Mexican citizen are not eligible. But millions of Jihadists are.
The democrats declared war on America in 1896 when they nominated their first socialist for President.
