A New York Reader Says Teddy Kennedy Knew All Along That He Was Destroying America

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€

There is some truth in what he said. With younger Americans...liberals and conservatives---eschewing manual work or even skilled trades, who is going to do it? Yes, I believe we need to have automation and technology taking over more and more of the mundane tasks, but not everyone can sit at a desk and get a big salary either.

Reading the Kennedy interview in its entirety, it’s obvious that when the elites talked publicly about the 1965 Immigration Act, they denied its consequences.

But privately, they knew about and welcomed the huge influx of Third World immigrants

Of course the huge influx of illegals are an important part of the plan!!!!

Kennedy always talked in vague terms and was never specific about anything. That's a technique used by propagandists.

I'm just glad he's gone.

Unfortunately, there will always be another elitist left-winger to take his place.

Are you kidding me, there are plenty of people that don't want to be tied down to a sucky desk job all day getting a lard ass.
The question is and has always been about the pay. Americans aren't inclined to risk they're lives doing roofing for $8 to $10 an hour, especially when it was $20 an hour 5 years ago. If the pay is there, the workers will be there, that is how capitalism works, you pay enough, you get as much help as you can pay for, you pay crappy, you get as many illegals as you want.

And as far as the American population dying off, the government has had plenty of time to know that we needed to be having more kids, the politicians and elites are caught in a conundrum, spewing that the world is over populated out of one side of they're mouths and that America needs more population to do the physical jobs and to take care of granny coming out of the other side. If we needed more Americans we could have easily gave families a $2 or $3,000 tax credit to have more kids, this would have saved a hell of alot of money instead of bringing in illegals which cost way more. As usual, the politicians are full of crap, we don't need more people to take care of granny but we do need more people to pay into the system that they stole and gave away to some foreign bankers, of course they got paid off later after they were gone from office, so nobody would notice, just like Phil Gram over at UBS.

I would say that if there was a shortage of manual laborers and a needed product they produce, then wages and salaries would naturally increase to entice workers away from white collar work to manual labor. When outside elements come in and agree to work for third-world rates, the nation's market is sabotaged and a race to the bottom ensues. Americans lose out to Mexican laborers, Mexicans lose out to Colombians, and so on.

I would also argue that an endless supply of third-world labor inhibits innovation and needlessly extends the life of useless industries. The idea is that if you aren't spending your life plowing a field, you may have more time to invent the computer or discover a new vaccine. Granted, most cannot do this. But there are those who can, and their innovation creates the new jobs.

Needless to say, outsourcing and illegal labor short circuit all this, and actually discourage innovation. The U.S. developed the flat panel TV, but China made the profit on our research. That could have put millions of Americans to work.
