    The cite below gives you a very succinct but comprehensive outline of that law.

    Overpopulation doesn't seem to be an issue, especially since that term is more often used by sociologists and biologists in the context of environment and stress on the resources needed to sustain a population.

    Hope this helps. ... Take care!!

    Ted Kennedy didn't think America was being invaded by foreigners fast enough from his Immigration Act of 1965, so he wanted to speed it up by increasing 3rd world immigration to one million a year.
