Larger than the entire USA population in 1900 1 in 3 now 'minority' "Since the 1965 Immigration Act went into effect, more than 30 million immigrants, most from non-European, Third World countries have poured into the United States. Today, most of the U.S. population growth is due to these immigrants, and their offspring. These results contradict promises made to American citizens by the Act's Congressional Sponsors, as revealed in their own words Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) "Out of deference to the critics, I want to comment on ⦠what the bill will not do. 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, S.500 will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and economically 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. Thirdly, the bill will not permit the entry of subversive persons, criminals, illiterates, or those with contagious disease or serious mental illness. As I noted a moment ago, no immigrant visa will be issued to a person who is likely to become a public charge ⦠the charges I have mentioned are highly emotional, irrational, and with little foundation in fact. They are out of line with the obligations of responsible citizenship. (Senator Robert Kennedy also supported the bill, but did not live to see the consequences, as he was shot by Sirhan Sirhan in 1968, an immigrant this bill let in) Ted is pushing a massive Amnesty an immigration increase this week, driving America over the bridge to the 21st century
Do you think a MASSIVE immigration increase next week is a great idea? If you dont, you'd better call your congress reps and senators right away - they couldnt do it by last Tuesday, so they extended the deadline to May 21 and if they pass universal health care also, we're going broke Fax congress for free here: http://www.numbersusa.com/index
"Thirdly, the bill will not permit the entry of subversive persons, criminals, illiterates, or those with contagious disease or serious mental illness." Being HIV positive currently is not a disqualification.
it's pure national suicide no sane population ever makes themselves a minority in their own country but that's exactly what we are doing
Exactly. Dilute the electorate with broke immigrants, and they'll vote for Big Government hand-outs EVERYTIME. Mass immigration is back-door Socialism. This is exactly whats happening in Canada.
....and the point is what exactly???? In 1900.....IRish were considered a minority...Then it became Italians...then PR's....( notice a trend here?).....so today if you are Irish, italian, Polish ect....your no longer considered a minority....do you think in 50 years Cubans, PR's and Mexicans will be considered minorities or part fo the american fabric?
Somehow the Republicans have got to be made to understand that if they sell us out on this, we will never support them again. They are counting on two things. One, the mainstream media is all for selling out the country if it means democrats will have an advantage, so they will paint amnesty backers as statesmen and those who oppose it as mean-spirited. Two, a lot of voters don't seem too interested in this issue.
There is a lot of talk today about a "compromise", that will entail onerous tests to "earn" citizenship in exchange for more border patrol agents and more enforcement. I have two questions. One, why do we have to compromise to get the govenrment to enforce current law? Two, what will we do about all those here illegally who will just ignore the "earned citizenhsip BS" and continue to engage in identify theft, tax fraud, gang violence, use our hospitals as their personal free clinic and overburden our schools? Do we really want the rest of the country to look like LA, with an hispanic mayor who takes the side of illega immigrant rioters over the police?
it is absolutely absurd to say that a policy that existed 30 years after the louisiana purchase, perhaps the most massive increase in a country's size EVER, should be the policy into perpetuity, after the population has increased 10 fold 'we're a nation a immigrants!' well, we were a nation of horses too does that mean you should go into every transportation planning meeting and demand accomodations for horses? But we're a nation of horses!!!!'
