“We need a period where we can think through what it is to be an American, what unites us. Immigration makes it impossible because it’s too much … things change too fast. Who are these people?”
(Selwyn Duke – New American) While touting the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 on the Senate floor, the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) pushed a number of selling points. Among other things, he said that
- our cities would “not be flooded with a million immigrants annually”;
- “the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset”; and
- the bill would “not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area.”
Interestingly, it’s not just that these predictions were wrong.
