The rules are meant to prevent or make it more difficult for people to immigrate legally. Every additional rule only complicates legal immigration. How did people immigrate in 1900? They simply showed up at the border and signed in, and that was it. It was simple and legal, and there was no illegal immigration. And those first immigrants started adding rule by rule to prevent other people from coming. With each new rule, it has become increasingly challenging for people to immigrate legally, leading them to find alternative ways.
- lenkite 2y agoObviously, we should talk about the period after 1875 when the Supreme Court declared regulation of immigration a federal responsibility. There is little point to talking about a time when the known population of the U.S. was less than 5 million. Lets talk about the 20-21rst century. Social Security Program was created in 1935. Medicaid was established in 1965. Non-citizens became eligible for social security in 1996. Why talk about ancient history when there was little to no burden in citizenship ?
