Commentary

Interesting to note how some people, particularly the liberal media, get so upset over the type of language used by President Donald Trump who's trying to
protect Americans from the ill effects of illegal immigration.
Did these people
show concern when President Bill Clinton who had sex in the Oval also talked tough
about illegal immigration?
See: Bill Clinton 1995 Speech on Illegal Immigration
Why no expressions of outrage when President Barack Obama
demeaned America, while supporting illegal immigration and honoring Senator Ted
Kennedy who was responsible for the death of a woman?
See the below 2015 article for details.
Also See: "1969 Incident on Chappaquiddick Island" historical entry which explains how shortly after leaving a party on
Chappaquiddick Island, Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy of Massachusetts drives an
Oldsmobile off a wooden bridge into a tide-swept pond. Kennedy escaped the
submerged car, but his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not. The
senator did not report the fatal car accident for 10 hours.

Ted Kennedy’s Real Legacy: 50 Years
of Ruinous Immigration Law
On Monday, President Barack Obama
gave an emotional speech commemorating the
$79 million replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Center in Boston,
Massachusetts.
The thrust of Obama’s
speech condemned America as an unimaginative, prejudiced, unambitious
country whose only hope lies in liberals who selflessly dedicate their lives to
leading it out of the darkness.
The replica of the Senate chamber
celebrated the “hard, frustrating, never-ending” war progressives wage against
America on its behalf, Obama declared.
“We live in a time of such great
cynicism about all our institutions. And we are cynical about government and
about Washington, most of all. It’s hard for our children to see, in the noisy
and too often trivial pursuits of today’s politics, the possibilities of our
democracy — our capacity, together, to do big things,” Obama said. “And this
place can help change that. It can help light the fire of imagination, plant
the seed of noble ambition in the minds of future generations. Imagine a gaggle
of school kids clutching tablets, turning classrooms into cloakrooms and
hallways into hearing rooms, assigned an issue of the day and the
responsibility to solve it.”
Children in America are brought up
with a backwards view of the world, Obama said. Their moral universes
are small and prejudiced, but progressive governing will open their minds.
“Imagine their moral universe
expanding as they hear about the momentous battles waged in that chamber and
how they echo throughout today’s society. Great questions of war and peace, the
tangled bargains between North and South, federal and state; the original sins
of slavery and prejudice; and the unfinished battles for civil rights and
opportunity and equality,” said America’s first black president, elected after
he promised Americans a “post-racial presidency.”
Obama obliquely referred to
Kennedy’s role in pushing his influential
political accomplishment: The Immigration and
Nationality Act of 1965.
“Towards the end of his life, Ted
reflected on how Congress has changed over time. And those who served earlier I
think have those same conversations. It’s a more diverse, more accurate
reflection of America than it used to be, and that is a grand thing, a great
achievement,” Obama said.
In this case, Obama is right: It’s
worth reflecting on how much America has changed since 1965, and examine the
effects of the legislation Kennedy promoted that brought it about.
The passage of the act
marked a fundamental change in America’s immigration policy: Rather than
serving the interests of Americans and national unity by setting limits on
immigration, the act put “family unification” as the top priority, serving the
interests of foreigners first.
“First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants
annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains
substantially the same…
Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset…
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…
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… 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.”
How have Kennedy’s promises stood up
to the passage of time?
Fifty years later, the Census bureau
predicts that the foreign-born population is set to increase 85 percent by 2060, where Hispanics will see their number grow by the
tens of millions and native-born whites are the only group expected
to decline in both absolute numbers and fertility rates.
Fifty years later, the U.S.
places no numerical limit on the immediate family members of aliens admitted
into the country. Despite holding only five percent of the world’s population,
the U.S. is the most popular destination in the world for immigrants, attracting 20
percent of all the world’s migrants.
Fifty years later, the U.S. allows
some 11 to 20 million
illegal aliens to squat on its territory
while allowing over one million
more each year to legally
enter the country.
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.
Fifty years later, Central American
governments are propped up by $12.2 billion in remittances taken out of the American economy by foreign workers
the U.S. refuses to tax or expel.
Fifty years later, Central American
migrants, thousands of whom are indigenous Mayans who can’t write or speak even Spanish, storm the
border in endless waves while
federal agents fly them to nearly every state in the union without so
much as a photo ID —
while American citizens are fondled and scanned by the very same TSA
agents.
Fifty years later, we have Rep.
Luis Gutierrez threatening Americans in Spanish, vowing they will be made
to suffer “electoral punishment” for
resisting a path to citizenship for illegal aliens, declaring his one loyalty is
the not to the United States but to foreigners breaking immigration laws, and
printing “Do Not Deport Me” cards
for those same individuals.
Fifty years later, Americans are led
by a president who illegally grants deportation stays for five million
illegals that will allow them to get Social Security numbers (and
therefore the ability to vote in U.S. elections) along with $35,000
per head in tax benefit freebiesforcibly
taken Americans who managed to hold onto their jobs, who joyfully
predicts that a “President Rodriguez” will leave the borders wide open for future tsunamis
of immigrants.
Fifty years later, American
schools punish
“racist” students who
wear shirts depicting the American flag and taxpayer-funded colleges vote
to ban the flag after angry
illegal immigrants complain
it “triggers” them.
Fifty years later, illegal
alien Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros received no jail time after she slaughtered two Oregon children playing in a leaf pile by running them over, fleeing
the scene, having her car taken to a car wash to scrub off the gore, and
lying to police about her hit-and-run.
Fifty years later, illegal alien
Ramiro Ajualip is charged with savagely raping and
sodomizing a 10-year-old Alabama girl while her parents left her alone in the
presence of their “family friend.”
Fifty years later, Vanessa Pham’s
family carries on without their daughter,
who died after the PCP-addled illegal alien Julio Blanco Garcia stabbed her more than a dozen times after she gave him and his toddler a ride to a
hospital.
Fifty years later, American marathon
runners walk on prosthetic limbs and suffer through countless painful surgeries
after Muslim Chechen immigrants Tamerlane and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were granted asylum so
they could plot against the country that bent over backwards to
accommodate them.
Fifty years later in Boston, where
English colonists sparked what would become the American Revolution, nearly
half of all children have at least one foreign-born parent. “Learning English
isn’t so easy” thanks to incredible demand for adult English-language
classes, reports Boston.com. “Boston
can’t benefit from its diversity if everyone can’t communicate.” Taxpayers are
on the hook for $500,000 to teach just 200 students, yet total enrollment in
these classes stands at 3,400 with another 4,000 immigrants on wait lists.
The costs Americans pay in
lowered wages, strained social safety nets, their children’s blood, their
declining quality of life, the chaos of sharing space with an ever-swelling
criminal population aided and abetted by the nation’s elite, the berating Americans of every stripe endure when they dare ask
their country merely be preserved — that’s the real legacy of Ted Kennedy.
That the ruling class celebrates his
legacy indicates that they don’t plan to stop transforming America any
time soon.
