So here's a man speaking more than 45 years ago, and he's still ahead of the game when it comes to some people today. He's already put down the counter-arguments.
You mean he pulled another wrong opinion out of his nose because he was unwilling to admit that he was wrong. 45 years have passed and despite the really crappy welcoming of immigrants, no civil war has broken out yet. Maybe he should've spent more time on talking about the real problems (preferably to the immigrants) rather than on making bad predictions based on his personal prejudices.
