Maybe, just maybe this had something to with, I don't know, JFK? All 4 of his grandparents were Irish immigrants. And 100% of his relatives were pro-immigration.

ADL boasts JFK's "Nation of Immigrants" was their idea: "After ADL reached out to the then-junior senator from Massachusetts, he agreed to write an essay highlighting the contribution of immigrants..." https://www.adl.org/education/resources/tools-and-strategies/jfk-nation-of-immigrants-guide … Much like Teddy K was front man for Celler's bill.
-
And why did the ADL pick the then junior senator out of the other 95? Pure chance? Celler was also the man behind the 25th amendment-that's what happens when you're the chair of the relevant cttee-not that he want interested-just what happens.

It was a TOTAL coincidence that Rep. Emanuel Celler happened to be at the right place at the right time to get 1965 immigration act thru Congress. Other than, of course, that he'd been working for more immigration since 1924 ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Celler …pic.twitter.com/vUcuQdJCkq

Which passed 320-70 and 76-18. He must have been extremely persuasive.

Steve on fire today pumping out some Free Speech Not Politically Correct info :) I had no idea the ADL contributed to the "nation of immigrants" saying. I know they created the "melting pot" to make us think this MASS immigration to replace founding stock is normal. It's NOT.

The earliest of our settlers were British citizens coming to settle in a British colony. They were not immigrants.

JFK also had vested, ethnic interest in retconning American history to be one of a "nation of immigrants."

Quote from Daily Mail: "Scotland's new Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf write to UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid, saying the country does not want to settle the bill." This is what losing your country looks like.

Germans, as swarming illiterates, colonized Rome, destroying it. Then, as literates, tribal Rome became nationalist Italy. After learning to read and write, they referred back to the Romans&Greeks as Classics. Classics=Enlightenment, but now that is repressed as Imperialism.

Google N grams shows that the phrase “nation of immigrants” first appeared in the early 20th century, then took off after 1965. I wonder who originally coined the phrase?

Given that the founder/leader of the xenophobic/nativist Know-Nothing party was a Jew, Lewis Levin, some transformation must have taken place, for the immigration bug is as close to a unifying religion that US Jews now have, even though most are secular.
