JFK under "civil rights" increased BOTH ILLEGALS & ISLAMISTS coming into America. He started the idea, pushed & promoted the idea that "rich America should give ILLEGALS. ...WELFARE". LBJ & TEDDY PUSHED THAT idea and now both ideas, are harming America. UNDER THE GUISE OF CIVIL RIGHTS.
DEMON-RATS don't want to change this antiquated law, giving illegals welfare. THAT is what draws them here!

REVISED?
The 1965 act marked a radical break from the immigration policies of the past.
The law as it stood then excluded Asians and Africans and preferred northern and western Europeans over southern and eastern ones.[2] At the height of the civil rights movement of the 1960s the law was seen as an embarrassment by, among others, President John F. Kennedy, who called the then-quota-system "nearly intolerable".[3]
After Kennedy's assassination, President Lyndon Johnson signed the bill at the foot of the Statue of Liberty as a symbolic foothold of signing the bill.
In order to convince the American people of the legislation's merits, its proponents assured that passage would not influence America's culture significantly. President Johnson called the bill "not a revolutionary bill. It does not affect the lives of millions",[4] while Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other politicians, including Senator Ted Kennedy, hastened to reassure the populace that the demographic mix would not be affected; these assertions would later prove grossly inaccurate.[5]
In line with earlier immigration law, the bill also prohibited the entry into the country of "sexual deviants", including homosexuals. By doing so it crystallized the policy of the INS that had previously been rejecting homosexual immigrants on the grounds that they were "mentally defective" or had a "constitutional psychopathic inferiority". The provision discriminating against gay people was rescinded by the Immigration Act of 1990.[6]
