[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Executive orders come and go with the administration. Would you say it’s unconscionable for the next Democratic president to change Trump’s EOs?

Look, it’s stupid we went so long without enforcing our borders. People will get hurt in the meantime. Did you hear the guy on Jeopardy last night who was barred from Taiwan for a year because he overstayed his travel visa by 2 hours? Why is the US expected to take whoever comes?[/quote]
Because we are a country founded on immigration. When your white immigrant ancestors came over, it was just fine and dandy. But now that non-white people are coming over, you suddenly have a problem with it. [/quote]

Good Lord.  Study some history. 
The people who came over 100 years ago were vetted.  They were checked for disease and they had to be able to support themselves.  There was a process and people who came followed the process.

That is NOT what happened the past 4 years.  And, stop making it about race.  We had tens of thousands, if not millions of illegal aliens from "white" countries breach our border as well.  They need to go too.

Entering a country illegally is against the law... no matter when then did it.  And, just because the laws haven't been enforced in the past does not make it right.  About time our laws are being enforced now.  [/quote]

I LOVE how you tell someone to study history and in the same breath display such an abysmal ignorance of history yourself. Average processing time at Ellis Island was 3-5 hours. But please do tell us how carefully we vetted prospective immigrants back then. [/quote]

Sure wish they did this kind of vetting today.  Especially the bolded.

[quote]If an immigrant’s papers were in order and they were in reasonably good health, the Ellis Island inspection process lasted 3 to 5 hours. The inspections took place in the Registry Room (Great Hall) where doctors would briefly scan every individual for obvious physical ailments. Doctors on “the Line” at Ellis Island soon became very adept at conducting these rapid inspections.

The ship’s manifest, initially filled out at the ship’s port of departure, contained the immigrant’s name and answers to a series of questions regarding the details of their origin, destination, and their likelihood to become a public charge. This document was used by the legal inspectors at Ellis Island to cross-examine during the legal inspection. Contrary to popular belief, interpreters of all major languages were employed at Ellis Island, making the process efficient and ensuring that records were accurate. [/quote]

[quote]Despite the island’s reputation as an “Island of Tears” the vast majority of immigrants were treated with courtesy and respect, free to begin their new lives in America after only a few short hours on Ellis Island. Only two percent of the arriving immigrants were excluded from entry. [b]The most common reasons for exclusion were a doctor diagnosing an immigrant with a contagious disease that could endanger the public health, or a legal inspector being concerned that an immigrant would likely become a public charge or an illegal contract laborer.

I sure do wish our homegrown morons would get vaccinated, but I digress.

How was the diagnosis done? In the vast majority of cases, the doctor took a look at the person and asked a question or two. If the disease was obvious, they might have been quarantined or turned away.

What kind of threat do you think people pose after living here for 10-15 years and working among the rest of us?

You know what we do today? We put these people in detention centers in such close quarters that they get sick. We treat them like cattle.
