Hart-Celler Act hearings 1965

Quote:

Senate immigration subcommittee chairman Edward Kennedy (D-MA.) reassured his colleagues and the nation with the following:

"First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same ... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset ... Contrary to the charges in some quarters,[the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia ... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think."

Sen. Kennedy concluded by saying,

"The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs." (U.S. Senate, Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965. pp. 1-3.)

1986:

"This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this."

-- Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy on the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986

Senator Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne

Quote:

" Senator Kennedy claimed in his statement that he was unfamiliar with the road.
- At the inquest, however, Judge Boyle concluded that "Earlier on July 18, he [Kennedy] had been driven over Chappaquiddick Road three times, and over Dike Road and Dike Bridge twice. Kopechne had been driven over Chappaquiddick Road five times and over Dike Road and Dike Bridge twice".



- Markham had written out the description of the accident directly from the Senator's dictation. He corrected errors in grammar, but played no part in the deception the Senator had engaged in by failing to mention the party at Chappaquiddick, or in his claim to have been "in shock" after the accident.
- Senator Kennedy had said nothing at the police station regarding his rate of speed, or the quantity of alcohol he'd consumed at the party."

Senator Kennedy and the Florida Rape case

"Perhaps [Ted] was hoping that his young son and nephew could help a drunken, grossly overweight, middle-aged man get lucky again that night."

As it turned out, the two younger Kennedys each brought a woman back to the compound late that night, which happened to be Good Friday. Willy took his companion, Patty Bowman, to the beach just outside. There, according to Bowman, he raped her. What's more, she told a police detective that the senator must have known what was going on.

Klein describes the conversation: "'When [Willy and I] went to the beach,[Ted] was there, and I was screaming, No! and Stop, and I remember thinking,'Ted Kennedy is here. Why doesn't he come down and stop this man?''"

If Ted Kennedy didn't hear Bowman, perhaps it's because he had become Peeping Ted. His son was in his bedroom with Michele Cassone. At the trial, Cassone spoke about what happened: "Patrick and I were ... making out, kissing.... About ten minutes at the most later, the senator emerged through the door from inside the house ... and at this time he only has on a button-down oxford shirt. He has taken his slacks off. I didn't see if he had any Jockeys or boxers on [because the shirt] came halfway down the thighs. He was standing there, wobbling, and had no pants on.... And I was just really freaked out."

Sorry...criminals.

"Big Head" Ted. What a freaking joke. Yet he keeps getting elected. Guess it will take death to remove him from office like some have said over the years.

[sad]

Yea, and I hope it's a slow painful death, kind of like drowning.

Don't apologize about typing "crinimals" instead of criminals. Crinimals is how Kennedy pronounces it after he's drunk his supper...
