[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we ignore all the laws to let millions of illegals in, but then we nitpick the efforts to get them out? Classic Democrat insanity. [/quote]

The only insanity is the MAGA insanity and the inhumanity you all seem ok with defending. I don't want to hear your rambling about criminals-it's far beyond criminals. Even Joe Rogan has taken a position on the inhumanity and cruelty we are seeing with Ice and DHS. This administration and it's MAGA supporters stand for noting more than hatred.[/quote]

Stop with the tears for the downtrodden. No sane country in the history of the world has opened the door to so many people, lost track of most, & spent billions housing them in hotels. All because they supposedly are nice people who just can’t wait to pick our strawberries. [/quote]

There were no immigration laws for most of human history— and I really doubt there were any when your ancestors moved here.

Immigration made this country great — both economically and culturally — and cutting it off is a recipe for economic disaster.  Go look at Japan’s economy if you want a peek at our future. [/quote]

We have immigration laws now.  Yes, immigrants do make this country great - LEGAL immigrants. 
Since this thread is about ICE arresting illegal immigrants, your post is irrelevant.  [/quote]

In case you have your head under a rock or somewhere else the sun doesn’t shine, they have been arresting plenty of people here legally.

And the bigger point is that in the early 1900s there was no such thing as “illegal immigration”— if you could get to the US healthy you were allowed in— and that’s the system under which this country became the greatest and richest country in the world![/quote]

It is really scary how ignorant so many people are about US History. No way you took AP US History. Only the right kind of immigrant was allowed in to the US in 1900. It absolutely wasnt a free for all, let every enter.

In 1882 the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed which banned Chinese immigration for ten years. This was extended by the Geary Act as well as banning Chinese from becoming citizens. The Supreme Court upheld the Geary Act in Fong Yue Ting v. United States in 1893, and in 1902 Chinese immigration was made permanently illegal. This didn’t change until the 40’s when a small number were allowed in.

European immigrants in 1900 were screened at Ellis Island. Many were NOT admitted and turned back. If you were too sick or disabled or deemed somehow a threat you were turned back. [/quote]

Other than the Chinese Exclusion Act there were no quotas prior t0 1921. Yes, you could be detained or turned back for medical reasons, financial reasons, political reasons. But there were no quotes until the backlash related to eugenics and suspicion of inferior ethnicities surged. In the midwest as far as the Plains states, there were not just Jewish communities, there were rural (not just urban)  Muslim communities made up of people from Syria and other middle eastern regions.
