Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965
Speaking on the Senate Floor about the bill, Ted Kennedy (who was shepherding the bill through the Senate) said this about it:
“First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.... It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”
We see now how well that worked out. NOT
Ted the swimmer Kennedy, the perfect democrat, lying still, even from the grave. I wonder if fat teddy voted in the 2010 elections? ...
