Kennedy again: "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."

Since the 1965 act took effect, 85 to 90 percent of our immigrants have hailed from the Third World. Moreover, the MPI tells us, "Compared to almost entirely European immigration under the national-origins system [prior to '65], flows since 1965 have been more than half Latin American and one[] quarter Asian."

Kennedy summed up, saying the charges he was refuting above were "highly emotional, irrational, and with little foundation in fact. They are out of line with the obligations of responsible citizenship."

They were actually something else: true.

In fact, it's hard to imagine a short statement containing more untruths than what the real Lyin' Ted packed into his immigration bill defense. It's not just that he was wrong – it's that the outcomes were the precise opposite of what he'd promised. If Kennedy had been a doctor performing a medical procedure, he'd have been sued out of the business. If he'd been an auto-manufacturer and his pet bill a car model, he'd have had to issue a recall.

So can we finally recall this horrible 1965 immigration act? Note that even Kennedy tacitly admitted that the act's ultimate outcomes are undesirable. He didn't say, "Flooding the country with one million people per year from economically deprived areas and radically changing the ethnic mix of the U.S. is great. Let's do it!" He passionately claimed that those things wouldn't happen.

By the way, Kennedy punctuated his prevaricative defense by saying that the charges against the immigration bill "breed hate of our heritage." Of course, the balkanization the immigration bill bred is part of the reason our heritage is now so hated.

Speaking of hatred, much is currently directed at President Trump because on Thursday he questioned why we have so much immigration from impoverished nations such as Haiti, as opposed to more newcomers from Norway. Since this raised many leftists' ire and with my being the reasonable man I am, I propose a compromise: no immigrants from the Third World or the Old World. In other words, no immigration, period.

With a population 330 million strong, we have enough people. With 95 million not in the labor force and robots taking over low-skilled jobs, we don't need more workers. With America being balkanized, we don't need more diversity. So what does today's immigration provide?

Oh, yeah – Democrat voters.

Depending on the group, 70 to 90 percent of third-world immigrants vote Democrat after being naturalized. Leftists don't in principle love immigrants or immigration, but they do love electoral domination – and importing foreigners to achieve it suits them fine.

In fact, if 70 to 90 percent of third-world immigrants voted GOP, the Democrats would be clamoring to admit those reliably socialistic Norwegians.
