OK so you are saying we benefitted from legal immigration, when that meant no immigration restrictions. Not sure what is left of your point.

The fear-mongering "immigrants are going to take our jobs" is as old as America. Yet immigration has always benefitted our country.
There are already college degree jobs that are going unfilled. We import nurses from foreign countries and IT people, too. It has gotten worse and worse. And yet our lazy kids don't do the work to get those jobs.
Legal immigration has always benefited our country.
PP here. Whether you happen to think immigration laws are important or not, our country has benefited from legal immigration in the past because the majority of those immigrants came here LEGALLY.
Wow, surprisingly, you are totally wrong.
For most of our early history, there was no immigration law. Then in 1875 the government tried to restrict asians because they feared cheap labor. Of course none of this worked and Asians went on to build the west coast economy and our railroads.
The first global quotas only kicked in after 1921 and then got tougher after 1924. Guess what, those huge waves of Irish, Italian, and Germans had already been let in by that point.
So basically the wave of immigration that led to our world dominance post WWII was completed before any significant immigration restrictions even existed!
