    The impact of the following act is a great part of what has become of this great country. We used to take in folks from countries that was full of people with tremendous work ethic. Now, we mostly take in folks based upon whether they have relatives here. We're in big trouble here and we are counting on Mr Trump to get us through this. In my view, he, and his supporters are the only ones standing in the way now of the total destruction of the US. This type of immigration needs to be stopped immediately. This is good conservative principle that needs to be fostered amongst the populace.

    The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (H.R. 2580; Pub.L. 89–236, 79 Stat. 911, enacted June 30, 1968), also known as the Hart–Celler Act,[1] changed the way quotas were allocated by ending the National Origins Formula that had been in place in the United States since the Emergency Quota Act of 1921. Representative Emanuel Celler of New York proposed the bill, Senator Philip Hart of Michigan co-sponsored it, and Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts helped to promote it.

    The Hart–Celler Act abolished the quota system based on national origins that had been American immigration policy since the 1920s. The 1965 Act marked a change from past U.S. policy which had discriminated against non-northern Europeans.[2] In removing racial and national barriers the Act would significantly, and unintentionally, alter the demographic mix in the U.S.[2]

    The new law maintained the per-country limits, but also created preference visa categories that focused on immigrants' skills and family relationships with citizens or U.S. residents. The bill set numerical restrictions on visas at 170,000 per year, with a per-country-of-origin quota. However, immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and "special immigrants" had no restrictions.[1]

    The proponents of the Hart–Celler Act argued that it would not significantly influence United States culture. President Johnson called the bill "not a revolutionary bill. It does not affect the lives of millions."[16] Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other politicians, including Senator Ted Kennedy, asserted that the bill would not affect US demographic mix.[2] However, the ethnic composition of immigrants changed following the passage of the law.[17][18] Specifically, the Hart–Celler Act allowed increased numbers of people to migrate to the United States from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

    Prior to 1965, the demographics of immigration stood as mostly Europeans; 68 percent of legal immigrants in the 1950s came from Europe and Canada. However, in the years 1971–1991, immigrants from Hispanic and Latin American countries made 47.9 percent of immigrants (with Mexico accounting for 23.7 percent) and immigrants from Asia 35.2 percent. Not only did it change the ethnic makeup of immigration, but it also greatly increased the number of immigrants—immigration constituted 11 percent of the total U.S. population growth between 1960 and 1970, growing to 33 percent from 1970–80, and to 39 percent from 1980–90.[19] The elimination of the National Origins Formula and the introduction of numeric limits on immigration from the Western Hemisphere, along with the strong demand for immigrant workers by U.S. employers, led to rising numbers of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in the decades after 1965, especially in the Southwest.[20] Policies in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 that were designed to curtail migration across the Mexican-U.S. border led many unauthorized workers to settle permanently in the U.S.[21] These demographic trends became a central part of anti-immigrant activism from the 1980s leading to greater border militarization, rising apprehension of migrants by the Border Patrol, and a focus in the media on the supposed criminality of immigrants.[22]

    In January 2017, president Donald Trump's Executive Order 13769 temporarily halting immigration from 7 majority-Muslim nations made reference to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952; however, lower federal courts ruled that the Executive Order violated the prohibitions on discrimination by nationality and religion in the 1965 Act.[23] In June, the US Supreme Court overrode both appeals courts and allowed the second ban to go into effect, but carved out an exemption for persons with “bona fide relationships” in the US. In December, the US Supreme Court allowed the full travel ban to take place.[24]

    Numerous times, I have heard the left call people on the right racists. However, the real racists are on the left with their groupthink and identity politics. Case in point---Look at the racist Nancy Pelosi here--

    Then, here is Jesse Jackson's praise of the so called racist at our helm. Anyone see an issue with what the Libprogs are saying about Trump now?

  8. Isn't that always the case?

    LBJ and his Great Society... with its "I'll have niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years".

    And Odumbo's... "unfettered immigration to destroy America".

    I hope there's a special place in HELL for politicians who harm the people they pledged to serve!

    Betrayal of trust is one of the most heinous sins!

    Current Trump approval rating stands at 49 percent. These numbers have consistently been on the rise.
