According to Scott Volker The Hart-Celler Immigration Act of 1965
"When will good men act? Where is their courage? Scott Volker is worried about "white America losing their homeland to unwanted immigration."
As President Lyndon Johnson signed a landmark immigration reform bill into law at a ceremony beneath the Statue of Liberty on October 3, 1965, he predicted the legislation would not significantly affect the life of the nation, but also declared it would accomplish an important national goal.
"This bill that we will sign today is not a revolutionary bill," the president said. "It does not affect the lives of millions. It will not reshape the structure of our daily lives. ... Yet it is still one of the most important acts of this Congress and of this administration. For it does repair a very deep and painful flaw in the fabric of American justice. It corrects a cruel and enduring wrong in the conduct of the American nation."
Immigration’s Impact on Past and Future U.S. Population Change
Foreign-born Americans and their descendants have been the main driver of U.S. population growth, as well as of national racial and ethnic change, since passage of the 1965 law that rewrote national immigration policy. They also will be the central force in U.S. population growth and change over the next 50 years.
According to new Pew Research Center projections, immigrants will make up a record 18% of the U.S. population in 2065, compared with 14% today and 5% in 1965. Immigrants and their children will represent 36% of the U.S. population in 2065, which equals or surpasses the peak levels last seen around the turn of the 20th century. That share will represent a doubling since 1965 (18%) and a notable rise from today’s 26%.
Scott Volker believes that white men should have their own country. And his examples were; "Mexico because if you go to Mexico it is 100% Mexican", "You go to Japan, Japanese", "Columbia it is Columbians". "Go to Israel it is Israelis, it is Jewish."
The first statute in the United States to codify naturalization law. Alternately known as the Nationality Act, the Naturalization Act of 1790 restricted citizenship to "any alien, being a free white person" who had been in the U.S. for two years. In effect, it left out indentured servants, slaves, and most women. This implied that black and, later, Asian immigrants were not eligible to be naturalized, but it said nothing about the citizenship status of non-white persons born on American soil. Subsequent nineteenth-century legislation included a racial requirement for citizenship. It was one of several early immigration laws that shaped the framework and outcome of the Ozawa v. United States case in 1922.
Upon declaring independence from Great Britain, the leaders of the new republic aspired to create a distinct American nationality and minimize the risk of another monarchy. When they drafted the 1787 Constitution, they did not define what they meant by "natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States" and said very little about immigration. As historian Rudolph Vecoli notes, "one became an American by choice, not by descent," through a common commitment to the doctrine of natural rights. Consequently, the only distinction between "natural born" and naturalized citizens it made was that the latter were to be ineligible for the presidency. It did authorize Congress to "establish a uniform Rule of naturalization" and allowed for the "migration or importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit," resulting in a steady flow of slaves until 1808.
Landmark Supreme Court case that denied eligibility for citizenship to the Issei. Along with the passage of California's Alien Land Law in 1920, the Ozawa decision (1922) spurred the anti-Japanese cause and set the stage for the Immigration Act of 1924 that barred all further immigration from Japan. It was not until the passage of the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952 that the Issei were allowed to naturalize.
Under the Nationality Acts of 1790 and 1870, the federal law had restricted the right of naturalization to aliens who were either "free white" or of "African nativity and descent." The ambiguity of the former category, if interpreted widely, left open the possibility for Japanese immigrants to become naturalized citizens. For example, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 declared the Chinese ineligible for citizenship, but the Nationality Acts left unclear where the Japanese fit in the black-white racial classification. President Theodore Roosevelt's remarks in response to the San Francisco School Board Segregation Order of 1906 also seemed to support naturalization of the Issei.
As a matter of fact, according to the 1910 census, some 420 had naturalized. When the U.S. Attorney General moved to close the loophole in 1906, Issei leaders searched for diplomatic and legal means to dispute and challenge existing qualifications for citizenship. Following Takao Ozawa's unsuccessful petition and appeal to naturalize, the Pacific Coast Japanese Association Deliberation Council intervened and brought the lower court ruling to the Supreme Court in 1922.
Ozawa's was an ideal test case to bring to the Supreme Court, meeting all non-racial qualifications for naturalization set by the Act of 1906, whereby an applicant had to file a petition of intent to naturalize at least two years prior to formal application. He had filed his petition of intent on August 1, 1902, in Alameda County, California, and filed for naturalization on October 16, 1914. He also satisfied the five-year continuous residency requirement. He had lived in the United States and Hawai'i for more than twenty years.
Scott Volker who clams he is a sidewalk prophet. Even as it was raining we had a civil conversation. And cars were honking their horns as they drove by and I don't know for certain if they were in favor of Scott Volker or against him.
Even if we disagree with what Scott Volker is doing he has the right to do so. But we also have the same right to confront Scott Volker peacefully and question where Scott Volker is coming from and why he believes what he believes while we share what we believe.
For me as a White American I think it is shameful for what Scott Walker is wanting for the USA and to me what he is doing is shameful and as a white person I am ashamed as to what he is doing. But that is my opinion. And my favorite saying goes as follows: "OPINIONS: Are like assholes we all have one."
Scott Volker has a right to be a sidewalk prophet. Scott Volker the sidewalk prophet in KLAMATH FALLS, OR—
In Luke 13:33 Jesus refers to himself as a prophet because he knows he is about to die, but he cannot do it outside of Jerusalem. Also, in Matt. 13:57 Jesus speaks about a prophet having no honor in his home town, and that is why he did not do many miracles there. Clearly, Jesus is referring to himself as a prophet.
Since Scott Volker clams he is a sidewalk prophet does that make Scott Volker like Jesus?
Rumor has it that Scott Volker is being paid to be out there as the sidewalk prophet. And I didn't think about asking him that question at the time. Maybe somebody will find out or the next time I see Scott Volker I will ask him myself.
