"Only" 6%?!? If 6% of any population are murderers, that population needs removing.
It's being worked on at a 6% rate....

Always good to remember that the people didn’t want this.
However, only about half the public reciprocated these feelings, which can be seen in a Gallup Organization poll in 1965 asking whether they were in favor of getting rid of the national quota act, and 51 percent were in favor.
If I remember correctly, the 1965 Immigration Act was not pitched by its crafters as being an open conduit to America from the third world but rather something they repeatedly assured the public would not upset the demographic balance, as that was the concern. Much like Social Security, which was promised to be only a fraction of what it is today, the legislation was promoted deceptively (as would be expected). And the idea that it would have just been real easy to retroactively get rid of legislation that was forced upon the public from the outset is speculative nonsense. Wasn’t Donald Trump popularly elected on his promises to get rid of Obamacare, as were multiple congressmen who ran on that platform in past years? You’d think that would be reflective of the public will, but how’d that work out?According to the gallup poll cited on Wikipedia, 51% of the public was in favor.

The rich were more interested in passing the law than the general public, that's for sure, but the public didn't care or push back much at all. After it was passed all those who voted for it faced little criticism for the Hart-Celler (both Talmuds) Act. The public forgot about it very quickly and it took generations for most people to understand what happened.
In theory it could have easily been reversed but there wasn't enough public opposition. Americans get the government they deserve.
