………………… It\u2019s worth reflecting on how much America has changed since 1965, and examine the effects of the legislation Kennedy promoted that brought it about.<\/em><\/p>\n

The passage of the act marked a fundamental change in America\u2019s immigration policy: Rather than serving the interests of Americans and national unity by setting limits on immigration, the act put \u201cfamily unification\u201d as the top priority, serving the interests of foreigners first.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kennedy declared<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same\u2026<\/p>\n

Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset\u2026 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\u2026<\/p>\n

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\u2026 The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How have Kennedy\u2019s promises stood up to the passage of time?<\/em><\/p>\n

Fifty years later, the Census bureau predicts that the foreign-born population is set to increase 85 percent by 2060<\/a>, where\u00a0Hispanics will see their number grow by the tens of millions\u00a0and\u00a0native-born whites are the only group expected to decline in both absolute numbers and fertility rates.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fifty years later, the U.S. places no numerical limit<\/a> on the immediate family members of aliens admitted into the country. Despite holding only five percent of the world\u2019s population, the U.S. is the most popular destination<\/a> in the world for immigrants, attracting 20 percent<\/a> of all the world\u2019s migrants.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fifty years later, the U.S. allows some 11 to 20 million illegal aliens<\/a> to squat on its territory while allowing over one million more<\/a> each year\u00a0to legally enter the country.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fifty years later, the native-born population of whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Jews and all the rest suffer economic loss while the foreign-born see net job growth<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fifty years later, Central American governments are propped up by $12.2 billion in\u00a0remittances<\/a> taken out of the American economy by foreign workers the U.S. refuses to tax or expel.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fifty years later, Central American migrants, thousands of whom are indigenous Mayans<\/a> who can\u2019t write or speak even Spanish, storm the border in endless waves<\/a>\u00a0while federal agents fly them to nearly every state in the union without so much as a photo ID<\/a> \u2014 while\u00a0American citizens are fondled and scanned by the very same TSA agents.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fifty years later, we have\u00a0Rep. Luis Gutierrez threatening\u00a0Americans in Spanish, vowing they they will be made to suffer \u201celectoral punishment\u201d<\/a> for resisting a path to citizenship for illegal aliens, declaring his one loyalty<\/a> is the not to the United States but to foreigners breaking immigration laws, and printing \u201cDo Not Deport Me\u201d<\/a> cards for those same individuals.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fifty years later, Americans are led by\u00a0a president who illegally grants deportation stays for five million illegals that\u00a0will allow them to get Social Security numbers (and therefore the ability to vote in U.S. elections) along with $35,000 per head in\u00a0tax benefit freebies<\/a> forcibly taken Americans who managed to hold onto their jobs, who joyfully predicts\u00a0that a \u201cPresident\u00a0Rodriguez\u201d<\/a> will leave the borders wide open for future tsunamis of immigrants.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fifty years later, American schools punish \u201cracist\u201d students<\/a> who wear\u00a0shirts depicting the American flag and taxpayer-funded colleges vote to ban the flag after angry illegal immigrants<\/a>\u00a0complain it \u201ctriggers\u201d them.<\/em><\/p>\n
