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.
Kennedy also claimed, "Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset." His brother, Senator Robert Kennedy (D-N.Y.), chimed in, "In fact, the distribution of limited quota immigration can have no significant effect on the ethnic balance of the United States."
Yet as the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) wrote in 2015, "[i]n 1965, whites of European descent [constituted] 84 percent of the U.S. population, while [h]ispanics accounted for 4 percent and Asians for less than 1 percent. Fifty years on, 62 percent of the U.S. population is white, 18 percent is [h]ispanic, and 6 percent is Asian. By 2065, just 46 percent of the U.S. population will be white, the [h]ispanic share will rise to 24 percent, Asians will [constitute] 14 percent – and the country will be home to 78 million foreign[-]born, according to Pew projections."
