That is primarily an effect of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 which favors immigration of blacks and browns over whites and third world immigration over European immigration.
Italy got its act together ~ the food is better anyway.
They lied, or they were chosen to testify because they were clueless about what the politicians (LBJ and Ted Kennedy) were up to.
They assumed that immigrants would come mainly from Europe, as they had in the past.
They told people what the political leadership wanted the people to hear. They did not tell the people, because the "experts" didn't know, or because they were lying, that the immigration flood would be Mexican and Central American, by design.
We longer see mass immigration from Italy or Ireland, and haven’t for decades.That is primarily an effect of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 which favors immigration of blacks and browns over whites and third world immigration over European immigration.
Exactly. That is because Lyndon Johnson intended to turn the Southwest, including his native Texas, into a Democrat stronghold held by millions of ignorant (oh, excuse me -- that's "low-information"), generationally and reflexively Socialist-voting Mexican voters for the Democratic Party, countering the defection of the "Solid South" over the Civil Rights Act which demeaned them, and recapturing the White House for the Democrats for the next 200 years.
I think the Democrats are actually discriminating against European immigrants. It would be interesting to do a comparison on how much time it takes for European immigrants to go through the immigration process compared to immigrants from the third world. I think Democrats favor non-white groups such as Muslims, Latin Americans etc.
