that it wasn in fact a revolutionary bill . and then there was this inio the senate for ted kennedy of massachusetts. the man who drove the bill went out of his way to explain this. the democratic party was absolutely not trying to replace the american population with more compliant foreign born voters. for no way. that s an insane conspiracy theory. he explained, quote, this bill will not flood our citiesci .ti immig the immigrants kennedy said itr. will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. n it will not relax the standards of admission. it will not cause american workers to lose their jobs. it it s all bitterly amusing when you look back at it because of course, that is precisely what this bill did. this bill changed america completely bill and forever. and the numbers show it in the years since that legislationn passed, the united states total populationle explodedited by one hundred 140 and forty million people. you re seeing that chart on your screen t ch right now
threatens the very foundations of our republic. maga republicans do not respect the constitution. maga republicans, extreme maga republicans and extreme ideology, maga republicans. maga are determined to take this country backwards. the maga republican blade for them to succeed everyone else has to fail. maga republicans see carnage and darkness and despair. speed to the white house since the address says it is not political and blasting the president over the tongue calling it dark and divisive. it wasn t just the words, some noted the red black blood drop. the republicans have been tearing into biden s speech. speak with a strange and wildly inappropriate setting that unusual weird red lighting is much worse than marines standing behind him engaging in political attacks on 74 million americans. speak with the assault on the soul of america. speak with the political speech, it was a divisive speech and that s presidential. very cynical to fill our heads with stupid. je
