The American Immigration Myth: A History of Exclusion
Immigration has never been the simple melting pot story we've been told. While Ellis Island welcomed 25 million Europeans between 1880 and WWI with minimal restrictions, the same open-door policy never existed for non-Europeans. The Immigration Act of 1924 created America's first significant numerical restrictions on European immigration while completely excluding "aliens ineligible to citizenship"-effectively all non-whites. This legislation also established the Border Patrol specifically to prevent Mexican migration, creating a two-tiered system: regulated but possible immigration for Europeans, and near-total exclusion for others. Today's immigration law maintains this discrimination through a complex preference system that, while racially neutral on paper, functionally excludes most potential immigrants from developing nations. For many, there is literally no legal pathway to enter the U.S. Even immediate family members often wait 15-20 years for permission, with some Filipino and Mexican categories facing backlogs beyond two decades. The phrase "I'm not against immigration, just illegal immigration" ignores this reality. When most European ancestors came to America, they simply decided to make the journey-no visas, passports, or complex documentation required. They weren't "illegal" because no law existed to make their immigration illegal. They needed only to be healthy, able to work, and not obviously criminal. Today's system, by contrast, permanently excludes most people who want to immigrate.
