Today, we allow legal immigrants to qualify for food stamps and a host of other benefits and entitlements (which they consume at a disproportional rate compared to the 'native' population).
Remember that Hispanics back then were counted as 'White' too, legally speaking.

And; I suspect that our Black, etc. population back in 1965 was over 10%
