Americans for Immigration Control - Capsule Chronology of Liberal Agenda to Destroy the White Race and Culture

1965:

Congress eliminates the "national origins" quota system by passage of the Immigration Reform Act of 1965. Chief Senate sponsor, Sen. Edward Kennedy, argues: "[O]ur cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same."

Kennedy's ally, Sen. Hyram Fong, urges passage of the bill, telling Congress: "I just want to make this point because the argument that the cultural pattern of the U.S. will be changed needs to be answered. Our cultural pattern will never be changed as far as America is concerned."

1975:

Legal and illegal Immigration from Third World countries soars, comprising more than half of total migration to the U.S. INS Commissioner Leonard Chapman warns: "Illegal immigration is out of control."

Apprehension of illegal aliens by the U.S. Border Patrol more than doubles to 766,000 arrests in 1975.

1986:

Congress passes Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), granting amnesty to 3.1 million illegal aliens while ignoring the manpower needs of the Border Patrol.

Apprehensions of illegal aliens reach record high of nearly 1.2 million in 1985. The number of legal immigrants reaches 600,000, more than twice the pre-1965 level. IRCA includes federal fines for employers who favor U.S. citizens over aliens in hiring. Weak employer sanctions do not prevent hiring of illegals.

1990:

Congress increases legal immigration quotas by 40%, and grants another amnesty to the illegal relatives of aliens amnestied in 1986. Manpower and funding needs of the Border Patrol continue to be ignored.

1992:

Immigrants cost taxpayers $42.5 billion net in public assistance. Legal and illegal immigration reaches record high of 1.4 million annually. Congress still fails to act.

1996:

Congress defeats legislation which would have made moderate cuts in legal immigration. Such cuts are necessary to curb the misuse of the policy of "reuniting families" which allows immigrants to bring in non-dependent relatives who in turn bring in more relatives in never ending chain-migration.

1998:

Congress adds 150,000 additional H-1-B visas for foreign workers to take jobs in the U.S. and also creates a de facto amnesty by granting permanent residence to 50,000 Haitian illegal aliens.

2005:

The House passes a comprehensive bill to curb illegal immigration. Among its provisions: a 700-mile fence on the Mexican border; affirmation of the right of states and localities to assist immigration law enforcement; phase in of system to allow employers to verify employees' legal status; higher penalties for hiring illegal aliens. The bill also proposes to end the "visa lottery" program, which admits 55 thousand legal immigrants a year on the basis of a lottery draw.

2006:

The Senate refuses to endorse most of the 2005 House reforms and instead approves legislation to give amnesty to most of the estimated 12 million illegal aliens residing in the U.S. The bill also proposes to more than double legal immigration. With the House and Senate deadlocked, both finally agree to approve a 700-mile border fence. President Bush signs the bill.
