The Kennedy Immigration Bill
A quick history snapshot of Ted Kennedy's experience with illegal immigration laws:
1965: "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."
1986: "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens, will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this."
2007: "Now is the time for action: 2007 is the year we must fix our broken system...Politics is the art of the possible, and the agreement we just reached is the best possible chance we will have in years to secure our borders, bring millions of people out of the shadow and into the sunshine of America."
And every time we have an amnesty bill, the pattern repeats itself in greater numbers. One thing is certain: any hopes John McCain once had for the Presidency are now completely gone.
