Media and political falsehoods about immigration: Propaganda images, immigrant crime and DACA

For the last three decades the media and political establishments have created a propaganda image of recent immigrants that has served the interests of those who have placed their own financial or political gains above the good of the vast majority of the American people. To a considerable extent this has been a nostalgic expansion of an image of immigrants that was largely true before the 1965 Immigration Act. Before the 1965 Immigration Act, immigrants were actually better educated and more skilled than the average American. The 1965 Act introduced the chain-migration of ever-expanding extended family members. This has been a numerical and qualitative disaster, expanding immigration to irrational levels difficult to control and significantly dropping average education and skill levels. The 1986 Amnesty, followed by six other amnesties and failure to enforce common sense immigration laws, put both illegal immigration and unvetted legal immigration on steroids.
