Re: Matthew Richer’s Column: After The Wake, A Constituent Reflects On The Real Kennedy Curse

Here’s a telling interview that Senator Edward Kennedy gave to his allies at National Public Radio three years before his death.

Even though Kennedy was among his Open-Borders NPR allies, he refused to come clean about what by them were the obvious consequences of the Immigration Act of 1965.

In response to two direct questions from reporter Jennifer Ludden about the huge demographic change that followed and which the Senator promised would not occur, Kennedy dodged by trying to deflect Americans’ concerns from legal immigration (which his bill provided for) to illegal immigration.

Kennedy:

“A lot of the antagonism, frustration and anger is better focused at the illegality and the illegals that came here in very significant numbers. [People] are certainly frustrated by the illegality and the explosion of illegals who come here that have impact in terms of the economy, depressing wages, and taking jobs.

“On the other hand, they have this incredible admiration and respect for their neighbor, the person at the corner store who is working 18 to 20 hours a day, trying to provide for their family, and whose child is serving in the armed forces of the country. They admire those [immigrants] they see in church, churchgoers who are trying to bring their kids up.â€
