Xenophobia or Foresight?
en.wikipedia.org

Interesting reading. Someone was ahead of their time.

Speaking in the Senate on March 2, 1953, McCarran said:[4]

I believe that this nation is the last hope of Western civilization and if this oasis of the world shall be overrun, perverted, contaminated or destroyed, then the last flickering light of humanity will be extinguished. I take no issue with those who would praise the contributions which have been made to our society by people of many races, of varied creeds and colors. ... However, we have in the United States today hard-core, indigestible blocs which have not become integrated into the American way of life, but which, on the contrary are its deadly enemies. Today, as never before, untold millions are storming our gates for admission and those gates are cracking under the strain. The solution of the problems of Europe and Asia will not come through a transplanting of those problems en masse to the United States. ... I do not intend to become prophetic, but if the enemies of this legislation succeed in riddling it to pieces, or in amending it beyond recognition, they will have contributed more to promote this nation's downfall than any other group since we achieved our independence as a nation.

Immigration and change are great until I get mine.

Why are liberals unable to think rationally about what is happening in the world? Are you so emotionally involved that you can't see what is happening? Every other nation on the planet has pretty strict standards about whom they will allow to move in.

Seems fair.

But get this! The very same act "abolished racial restrictions found in United States immigration and naturalization statutes going back to the Naturalization Act of 1790."

Xenophobia. Prophetic only of the rise of the neo-Nazi.

USA "overrun, contaminated, perverted and destroyed?" And you say liberals are unable to think rationally?

Yeah, He did. Future ones too.

But even when He was talking about events at the time He was on earth, the lessons are applicable to today because the nature of man hasn't changed.

the President, before and after his election, made reference to “a Muslim ban.”

the program “was motivated by an improper animus toward Muslims.”

What a fecking incompetent orange ballbag he is
