Time to Repeal the Disastrous 1965 Immigration Act
Question: If someone sells you on something with false advertising and it does the exact opposite of what was promised, are you not entitled to return the product and get a refund? In fact, if the product caused you harm, should you not in addition be compensated for damages?
Consider that when Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) was pushing the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 (S.500) on the Senate floor, he said, "First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually."
Actually, he was right. We now absorb more than a million immigrants annually.
Kennedy next stated, "Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same."
The average yearly number of immigrants prior to '65 was 250,000. Even with Common Core math, that's still less than one million-plus.
