Returning To The Scene Of The Crime

The funny thing is, Ted Kennedy was the one who got us into this trouble to begin with.
A loooong time ago.


From Wikipedia....

The Immigration and Nationality Act amendments of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act, INS Act of 1965, Pub.L. 89-236) abolished the national-origin quotas that had been in place in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1924. It was proposed by Emanuel Celler and heavily supported by Senator Ted Kennedy.

During debate on the Senate floor, Senator Kennedy, speaking of the effects of the act, said, "...our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset...." The act's supporters not only claimed the law would not change America's ethnic makeup, but that such a change was not desirable.


Kind of like getting Typhoid Mary to help you work on the Polio vaccine. Good only as a negative example.
