Ted Kennedy Lied About Immigration
Submitted by Tinman...
Here is Ted Kennedy commenting on the 1965 immigration bill: "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."
Ted Kennedy on the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli Bill: "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."
Ted Kennedy (2007) on the current immigration proposal: "The plan will strengthen our borders and our national security while providing a tough but fair path to citizenship for millions of people."
Ted Kennedy: Celebrating over 40 years of lying to the American people regarding immigration. No one does it better.

GREAT post Tinman!! It would appear that once again, the best argument for Ted's policy suggestions are his own words.
But remember, for liberals, history always begins 5 min. ago.

Now Tinman. I feel your view of Ted Kennedy is extremely narrow. I think if you look at his record, you will find that he's lied about a lot of stuff, not just immigration. Some times even when the truth would have helped him. Good post Tinman, thanks for doing the research!

Great post Tinman...saved me the trouble. Don't you think we should all fax or email this to the White House and our congresscrats...maybe some pubbies too? It's not like they don't know about it...but do they know we know? It's a thought.

In Ted's defense he was probably drunk at the time and still having car problems. It must be great to be him, he has a built in excuse for everything. I mean, when isn't he drunk? Wait, wait just a minute, I think Ted is a diabolical genius. He is a liberal so he knows he will have to lie just about as often as he breaths, so he just stays drunk. He knows people will overlook the drinking and give him a pass on everything he says or does because of the John and Bobby factor. I bet he could get away with murder.
