Ted Kennedy’s Legacy

Sen. Edward Kennedy has malignant brain tumor:

A cancerous brain tumor caused the seizure Sen. Edward M. Kennedy suffered over the weekend, doctors said Tuesday in a grim diagnosis for one of American politics’ most enduring figures.

It appears we will not have to endure him much longer. To those of us who recognize that “diversity” is a euphemism for ethnic cleansing and “immigration” is a euphemism for invasion Kennedy is no hero. He is an evil-doer. A traitor to his country. We can expect however that in response to his demise the media will produce a series of fawning retrospectives of his life. He is their hero.

I write in the interest that Kennedy’s legacy not be entirely whitewashed, that he not be delivered from the infamy he so richly deserves. Here is the short version. What follows is a more detailed indictment.

Concerning the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965:

During debate on the Senate floor, Senator Kennedy, speaking of the effects of the act, said, “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.” (U.S. Senate, Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965. pp. 1-3.) The act’s supporters not only claimed the law would not change America’s ethnic makeup, but that such a change was not desirable.

Kevin MacDonald explains what happened more forthrightly:

And in the end, the only reason the 1965 law passed was because it was advertized as nothing more than a moral gesture that would have no long-term impact on the ethnic balance of the U.S. In other words, the WASPS did not actively pursue their own destruction, as supposed by Gottfried; they were deceived into supposing that the immigration law would have no real effect but that its passage would absolve them of the incessant (and false) charges that the North-Western European bias of the older U.S. policy implied a theory of Nordic racial superiority.

Kennedy was instrumental in the deception. As time went on it became obvious that immigration was not only changing the ethnic makeup of the US, radically, it was also causing the bulk of US population growth. Ted, if he himself had been deceived in 1965, showed no outward sign of resenting it. Instead he became a champion for the government policies that by the late 1970s were permitting more than a million immigrants to enter the US annually, a large fraction of them illegally. The lawlessness since 1965 is unprecedented in US immigration history and is justifiably described as an invasion.

By 1986 this lawlessness was widely recognized. Our government, unwisely, settled on amnesty as a solution. Once again Kennedy’s special talents were on display:

Regarding the 1986 Immigration and Reform Control Act (the first amnesty of illegal immigrants), Senator Kennedy predicted: “This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.” The 1986 legislation, by the way, ended up granting amnesty to around 3 million illegal immigrants.

Two decades after his first promises on immigration were revealed as lies Kennedy, miraculously, was still in power. By this time he was openly advocating the interests of aliens over those of citizens. The wealth, power, and prestige of existing citizens were diminished by this amnesty, and in granting the priviledges of citizenship to invaders respect for both citizenship and the law was greatly undermined.

Once again Kennedy downplayed the impact of the legislation. Once again the promises that legitimizing illegitimacy would make it disappear were revealed as folly if not downright dishonesty. After 1986 little effort was dedicated to enforcement of immigration laws and the invasion went on unabated.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice…WTF?!?

Four years later The Immigration Act of 1990 was – surprise, surprise – sponsored by Ted Kennedy.

The Immigration Act of 1990 increased the overall ceiling on family-based immigration to 480,000 from 216,000 and, for the first time, included the spouses, minor children and parents of citizens under that ceiling. However, because admissions of spouses, minor children and parents of citizens remained unlimited under the 1990 Act, the act required that a minimum of 226,000 visas be reserved for the family-preference categories. This meant that the ceiling of 480,000 would be breached as soon as admissions of spouses, minor children and parents of citizens surpassed 254,000, which happened in 1993.

So after saying in 1965 that there wouldn’t be an invasion, and then in 1986 saying that “just this once” we should forgive the invaders, Kennedy came back yet again, and this third time he said we must invite the invader’s relatives before they too invade.

Throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s the US government continued to expand legal immigration and legitimize illegal invasion in smaller, lower profile acts. The business of legitimizing the invasion went into hyperdrive, and was deliberately flying under the radar. Kennedy sponsored or supported dozens of acts favoring aliens. Most of us never heard about them.

Despite the stealthy attempts to vent and cover up by 2007 the scale and effects of the invasion could no longer be disguised. Examining SchoolDigger data anyone can see that toward the end of the 1990s latino and to a lesser extent asian numbers began to increase dramatically, and that these aliens were appearing in parts of the US they had no previous history of living. It is also clear from school data that White and to a lesser extent black numbers generally decrease wherever the alien numbers increase. Whether or not this reaction or noticing this reaction is called racist it is so widespread that it must by definition be considered normal.

To address the growing problems Kennedy, along with Senator and Republican nominee for president Juan McCain, sponsored the mother of all immigration bills, the so-called CIR, or Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill. It was so sneakily crafted, so falsely advertised, so beneficial for aliens and awful for citizens that across the country voices rose in disbelief and outrage.

Major pundits and media outlets did their best not to hear. They avoided reporting on the bill debate, continued presenting aliens in the most favorable light possible, and disingenuously called for public debate while they worked hard to smother it. They smeared anyone who opposed immigration as nativists, xenophobes, and racists. They directed hate toward those they could only accuse and only imagine being motivated by hate.

To say that the media is biased on immigration is true, but not the whole truth. The real issue that they never report is the tremendous gap between what the country’s citizens and its leadership want. The media and politicians are in complete agreement. They favor the invasion. They are also well aware that the citizens do not. Thus they resort to lies.

After the CIR was defeated Kennedy was incensed. When he said the following he was shouting these lies:

We know what they’re against, we don’t know what they’re for. Time and time again they tell us “We don’t like this provision, we don’t like that provision, we don’t want that part. Well they ought to be able to explain to the American people what they are for.

What are they going to do with the twelve and a half million who are undocumented here? Send them back? Send them back to countries around the world? More than $250 billion dollars, buses that would go from Los Angeles to New York and back again. Try and find them, develop a type of Gestapo here to seek out these people that are in the shadows. That’s their alternative?

In 1986 even Kennedy called the invaders illegal immigrants. Today he favors the euphemism “undocumented”. It reflects his view that everyone in the world is an American that just may not have their papers yet.

Kennedy, the media, and the alien, alien-loving leadership of this country know what their opposition wants. We want what is normal and just. It is in the Constitution they swear an oath to uphold. What any citizen anywhere wants is for his government, even if it fails in everything else, to perform its single most basic function: to protect its territory and its citizens. When our representatives openly abrogate that responsibility and instead act to serve the interests of alien invaders rather than the citizens, then they have demonstrated their illegitimacy. The citizenry has every right to dissolve that illegitimate government and form another.

Goodbye Ted Kennedy. I hope you rot in hell for what you and immigration have done to my country.

UPDATE 21 May 2008: Have a bucket handy. This kind of blubbering is just the beginning. Watch toward the end when Byrd suddenly stops sobbing and whispers to his assistant, “Now do I do this?” Then, flick, right back to the sob-voice.

  1. When this murderin’ commie dies, we’re going to have a party. Everyone nation-wide should gather their friends and relatives for some kind of festive get-together.

  2. Yes, we should migrate to Hyannis to party and then squat on his property afterward. We just want a better life for ourselves. The Kennedy servants will not dare call for the gestapo and their buses to come drag us from the shadows and separate us from our families.

  3. Great work on your post, Tan, and the sentiments are well-deserved. There have been few who have been so damaging to America as Ted Kennedy and his clan. I am in favor of postponement of any party, however, until there are more removals of treacherous politicians, media owners and leftist figureheads which are realized and accomplished by the American people. Then, we can deserve to celebrate.

    ‘Til then, we can only disrupt the revisionists and cite truth for others.

  4. Aw, c’mon, Flanders, don’t be such a stick. This is a cause for celebration. We’ll get to work on the other traitors soon enough, but let’s take out a few hours to dance a little, drink a little drink, smile a little smile, and count our blessings: A lot of the old democratic guard is going to also die off soon, too. And the neo-con/commies are slowly being exposed for who and what they really are. I’ll tip a few cold ones for that.
