On his July 19 Fox News program, Tucker Carlson traced the decades-long collapse of American immigration control, beginning with the disastrous Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 up to the unfolding calamity that is the Joe Biden administration.
That law passed in 1965, pushed by Ted Kennedy and signed by Lyndon Johnson, “turned out to be one of the most significant pieces of legislation ever passed.” So significant that it has made all the difference as far as American demographics are concerned. Carlson said:
This bill changed America completely and forever and the numbers show it. Sometime around 1965, our leaders stopped trying to make the United States a hospitable place for American citizens, their constituents, to have their own families. . . . [T]hey stopped doing it and instead they just imported new people. . . .In 1965, the number of permanent illegal migrants in this country from Latin America was essentially zero. By 2008, that number had grown to perhaps 20 million people. . . .And then came Joe Biden.
Biden, Carlson said, “accelerated that sad trend beyond what anyone thought was possible.” The foreign-born population is now growing by 132,000 people every month. And Biden still has the gall to insist that what he’s doing is a “gift.” It is, Biden claims, in some undefinable way that is never to be questioned, somehow a “source of our strength.”
Through Carlson concentrates on Washington’s conscious admission of illegals, the fact is that both facets of our entire immigration system, legal (which that 1965 law helped define) as well as illegal, are part and parcel of the same policy. It is that policy, which last week we labeled “Extraction Migration,” that through visas, refugee, asylum, and student programs, chain migration, birthright citizenship, and a host of other ways, has overwhelmingly changed America’s demographics. In the process, it has done limitless and permanent damage to native-born Americans’ hopes and aspirations for the future.
