This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

I found this article a nice summary of a lot of difficult history - doesn't include everything (most significantly the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the first race-based immigration law signed into law) but there's a lot to it.

Congress cannot unilaterally do that. This post is wildly inaccurate and should be removed. If I keep seeing BS like this I will stop following and find rallies to attend that are not sponsored by 50501. There are plenty. We've got to be better than they are. Otherwise, it is all for naught.
