In fact. the demography of this Nation has changed more since 1965 than it has in 50 years. For the last two decades. we have opened our arms to the worlds homeless. We have given shelter to men and women fleeing economic oppression and political persecution. More often than not. these immigrants and refugees run the risk of being politically disenfranchised. The rights of all citizens. regardless of where they live or their nation of origin. must be protected. for that is precisely what a democracy is all about. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 has been hailed as the most important civil rights bill enacted by Congress.
