A few things.
You know what?
I am BEYOND tired of hearing about HISTORY regarding immigration...we all are immigrants blah blah blah...
That may be so. But, immigrants in the past DIDN'T USE the system the way they are today. They didn't come in the numbers that they are today. We didn't have terrorist like we do today.
Comparing immigration of the past to the problems of illegal immigration today is comparing apples and oranges.
There is a HUGE difference!

All I know is - For all the complaining about immigrants here in the US - for every war or political conquest we have gotten into, there are more immigrants both legal and illegal coming to the US. They gotta find somewhere to go - why not to the country that is trying to "Liberate" them?
Yeah, it was a restrictive immigration policy put into place after the 'Great Wave' of immigration was thought to be too much, too fast. It resulted in 150,000 to 300,000 coming per year until 1965 when our immigration was changed to let people in by family, putting in place more of a pyramid game than a selection process. Now we get about a million people legally per year, yet get another million illegally.
The reforms of the 1920's set up the cap on labor that caused the development of a predominantly middle class America, with upwards mobility and the so called 'American Dream.'
If you married before 1924, the alien spouse was given Citizenship and not green card status. Green cards did not exist.
