The reason the immigrant problem got worse after 1965 wasn't because of the end of the guest worker program. It was because they passed the 1965 immigration law that year. The purpose of that bill, unstated at the time, was to slowly phase out the existing population of the U.S. and replace it with another population.

As millions of third worlders flooded into our nation after enactment of the 1965 act, it became politically harder to enforce the remaining immigration laws without appearing "racist" (the justification for the 1965 act was that it would eliminate the "racism" from our immigration laws). So we started looking the other way on illegal immigration. Eventually, there were millions of illegals here. Then, we were told it would be too hard, not to mention "racist", to deport them. So we gave them amnesty in 1985 after being assured the government would enforce the laws against illegal immigration from then on.

Of course, that promise wasn't kept, and millions of additional illegals have flooded in. Now we're preparing to legalize them as well.

What we're seeing before our very eyes is the displacement of the American people by aliens bent on "reconquest" of the southwest. The result in 30 years will be a very militant, very leftist Spanish speaking version of Quebec, propped up by a block of ten leftist Mestizo U.S. senators and a massive block of similar House members from California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada circa 2030, if not sooner.

Exactly. That's obvious to anyone who's really studied the problem. It's not obvious to certain Freepers. One wonders if they have agendas that are not necessarily friendly to the pre-1965 existing population of the U.S.

The question we have to ask is if the government couldn't/wouldn't enforce immigration law after the 1985 amnesty, is anyone gullible enough to believe it will be enforced if the current proposal is enacted? I quit believing in the Tooth Fairy a long, long time ago.

There are three simple tests of the government's intent. Will it modify the 14th Amendment so children of illegals born in the U.S. no longer are automatic citizens? Will it eliminate the Family Unification Act so we no longer have endless chain immigration? Will it modify welfare programs so they operate for the benefit of those who are taxed to pay for them, not illegals? Anything less is smoke and mirrors.
