A Nation of Immigrants
A Nation of Immigrants | John F. Kennedy
9 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Throughout his presidency, John F. Kennedy was passionate about the issue of immigration reform. He believed that America is a nation of people who value both tradition and the exploration of new frontiers, people who deserve the freedom to build better lives for themselves in their adopted homeland. This modern edition of his posthumously published, timeless workwith a new introduction by Senator Edward M. Kennedy and a foreword by Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation Leagueoffers the late president's inspiring suggestions for immigration policy and presents a chronology of the main events in the history of immigration in America. As continued debates on immigration engulf the nation, this paean to the importance of immigrants to our nation's prominence and success is as timely as ever.

With the exception of our indigenous peoples, we Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and Americans are ALL immigrants.

GingerAntics Thank you!!! We‘ve got massive idiots here in America who are starting to claim that there is no such thing and a Native American and they are immigrants that should go back where they came from. The absolute idiocy and ignorance of this drives me nuts. 5y
TrishB I went to an interesting talk on race and immigration in work a couple of months ago. The lecturer said put your hand up anyone who‘s 4 grandparents were born in the U.K. in a packed room about 3 people put there hand up. 5y
Freespirit Totally agree. Unless your indigenous your an immigrant! 5y

gradcat @GingerAntics @TrishB @Freespirit Yeah, it‘s one of those things that seems kind of obvious...until you see the kind of idiocy that motivates hatred...and now it‘s quite dangerous idiocy as well. I don‘t remember ever being this disheartened about the lack of understanding & empathy so prevalent all over the globe today. 5y
Cinfhen So true 5y
Bklover Yes we are! 5y
GingerAntics @gradcat I completely agree with that. 5y
Centique Amen! 5y
Freespirit @GingerAntics @TrishB @gradcat @Cinfhen @CarolynM I feel the same especially following the killing of so many people in New Zealand this week. I hope I‘ve brought up 3 young men who care about others, respect women, aren‘t racist, love the planet..just got to keep spreading a message of love and respect 5y
Cinfhen Amen to that @Freespirit 🙏🏻 5y
gradcat @Freespirit You know what? I bet your sons are fine, just because of your own awareness to these issues. 5y

This was published posthumously and has a foreword by Robert Kennedy. JFK was pushing for immigration reform.

I'm pretty excited about a $200 donation to the library for books on immigration (Children's and Adult).

We are stronger together.
