Ellis Island and Angel Island tried to prevent anyone from coming into the U.S. if they had a disease – just like students must have a shot record to get into school today?
Would you send people back to their countries or hold them until they were better like we did back in the day?
The Chinese Exclusion Act and the Gentleman's Agreement forbade or limited certain people from coming to this country. Today we are forbidding immigration from certain countries with known terrorist cells in them.
Would you ban immigration from certain countries that might pose a threat to the U.S.?
The Immigration Act of 1917 required immigrants to be educated.
The idea was to have the best of the best from other countries come to us. Would you have agreed with this act back then? What about today?
