“Reagan freed up people, and Carter did his best to see them beaten down.
Good man?
By no stretch of the imagination...”
Bingo. Carter was a lousy President, and that is an understatement. He loosened up our immigration laws to let a bunch of third world country immigrants into ours, especially Haitians. He changed the immigration quotas away from European countries so that people primarily of our country’s own immigration heritage mostly ceased, and thus started the influx of immigrants from poor peasant underdeveloped third rate countries into ours.
Hence the beginning of the major change in our country’s demographics, to our detriment as a cohesive cultural identity as Americans. Now we are entirely Balkanized, and we all know the horrific political consequences of it. Thanks, Peanut Man. Thanks for nothing.
Carter did increase the number of refugees the country took in, but the big change in the immigration laws came with Lyndon Johnson. It was Reagan who put through the amnesty plan that Carter couldn’t get Congress to pass.
Thanks. I was working back then and not following the nut-job all the time. I hadn’t remembered his changing the quotas away from Europe.
If true (and I have no reason to doubt you), no wonder we don’t seem to have as many people coming from Europe.
Thanks for the mention.
