[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Terry Gross of Fresh Air's interview of journalist and author of the book "The Guarded Gate", Mr. Daniel Okrent yesterday on NPR was very interesting.  Mr. Okrent spoke about how "the eugenics movement — a junk science that stemmed from the belief that certain races and ethnicities were morally and genetically superior to others — informed the Immigration Act of 1924, which restricted entrance to the U.S. Jews, Italians, Greeks and other Eastern Europeans were targeted. Okrent talks about the parallel between the xenophobia of the early 20th century and President Trump's hard-line stance today".  He also spoke about how Hitler drew parallels between his desire to make Germany pure and America's attempts to keep "unwanted immigrants" from entering the country through its restricted immigration Act of 1924.

I hope Trump and his supporters don't take us back to the eugenics era of 1920s and bring back the old restricted Immigration Act into force. [/quote]

The current Republican stance on immigration is explicitly modeled on the 1924 immigration act.  It was the inspiration for Sessions, Bannon, and Miller who fed it to Trump.  There is a radio clip somewhere or another of Sessions and Bannon lauding the Immigration Act of 1924 and saying that's what we should seek to emulate and we've had people on this board say similar.
