    Default We don't want immigrants from "Shit Hole" countries - Donald Trump

    Immigration Act of 1924

    According to the U.S. Department of State Office of the Historian, the purpose of the act was "to preserve the ideal of U.S. homogeneity."


    The Immigration Act of 1924 was a United States federal law that prevented immigration from Asia, set quotas on the number of immigrants from the Eastern Hemisphere.

    The 1924 act supplanted earlier acts to effectively ban all immigration from Asia. Quotas for specific countries were based on 2% of the U.S. population from that country as recorded in 1890.

    As a result, populations poorly represented in 1890 were prevented from immigrating in proportionate numbers—especially affecting Italians, Jews, Greeks, Poles and other Slavs.

    According to the U.S. Department of State Office of the Historian, the purpose of the act was "to preserve the ideal of U.S. homogeneity."

    A key element of the act was its provisions for enforcement. The act provided funding and legal instructions to courts of deportation for immigrants whose national quotas were exceeded.

    The provisions of the act were so restrictive that in 1924 more Italians, Czechs, Yugoslavs, Greeks, Lithuanians, Hungarians, Poles, Portuguese, Romanians, Spaniards, Chinese, and Japanese left the United States than arrived as immigrants.

    The law sharply curtailed immigration from those countries that were previously host to the vast majority of the Jews in America, almost 75% of whom immigrated from Russia alone.

    Because Eastern European immigration only became substantial in the final decades of the 19th century, the law's use of the population of the United States in 1890 as the basis for calculating quotas effectively made mass migration from Eastern Europe, where the vast majority of the Jewish diaspora lived at the time, impossible.

    I think this is the law that was used to keep my grandmother, aunt and cousins from being able to escape communist oppression and come to the United States.

    The 1924 immigrant restriction act is basically the incarnation of Donald Trump's dream to only allow immigrants from Norway and other Aryan Master Race countries while restricting or eliminating immigration from Shithole Countries.

    We Don't Want Asians, Slavs, Italians, or Greeks

    A limitation on Southern and Eastern European immigration was first proposed in 1909 by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. In the wake of the post-World War I recession, many Americans believed that bringing in more immigrants from other nations would only make the unemployment rate higher. The Red Scare of 1919–1921 had fueled xenophobic fears of foreign radicals migrating to undermine American values and provoke an uprising like Russia's 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

    Congressman Albert Johnson and Senator David Reed were the two main architects of the act. Reed believed that immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, most of them Catholics or Jews, arrived sick and starving and therefore less capable of contributing to the American economy, and unable to adapt to American culture

    The 1924 Immigration Act set a total immigration quota of 165,000 for countries outside the Western Hemisphere (an 80% reduction from the pre-World War I average), and barred immigrants from Asia, including Japan and the Philippines.

    The Idea of Anglo-Saxon Supremacy

    Racism was intellectually respectable in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and one version of it—popular on both sides of the Atlantic—was the idea that the Anglo-Saxons were destined (either by God or by nature) to rule the rest of the world.

    Many British and American conservatives shared the idea that, as Anglo-Saxons, they belonged to a master race that was destined to dominate the world.

    There was nothing new about racial discrimination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but now it enjoyed the support of science.

    It was central to conservatives’ intellectual justification of the British Empire.

    American advocates of empire-building shared this outlook. Theodore Roosevelt longed to emulate Britain’s empire-building role for the United States, and his outlook bore a striking resemblance to that of Britain’s conservative imperialists.

    How American Racism Influenced Hitler
    Scholars are mapping the international precursors of Nazism.


    Among recent books on Nazism, the one that may prove most disquieting for American readers is James Q. Whitman’s “Hitler’s American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law” (Princeton). On the cover, the inevitable swastika is flanked by two red stars. Whitman methodically explores how the Nazis took inspiration from American racism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He notes that, in “Mein Kampf,” Hitler praises America as the one state that has made progress toward a primarily racial conception of citizenship, by “excluding certain races from naturalization.” Whitman writes that the discussion of such influences is almost taboo, because the crimes of the Third Reich are commonly defined as “the nefandum, the unspeakable descent into what we often call ‘radical evil.’ ” But the kind of genocidal hatred that erupted in Germany had been seen before and has been seen since. Only by stripping away its national regalia and comprehending its essential human form do we have any hope of vanquishing

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    America's role as the world's foremost Slave nation in the 19th century, and its ongoing implementation of apartheid throughout most of the 20th century is worth introspection and self-examination. Purifying one's soul can only come through careful self-scrutiny and brutally honest reflection.

    We certainly did not live up to the words printed on the Statue of Liberty or the words written in the Declaraation of Independence by implementing Trumpian-like immigration policies designed to exclude humans from the "shithole" Asian and Slavic countries.

    Hitler would have been evil and demented with or without America. But it seems he certainly looked to our programs in eugenics, slavery, and racial discrimination with keen interest.

    Default Immigrants helped build our nation. We need to embrace them, not exclude them

    The immigration debate is about more than just policy. It's about what it means to be an American, and whether that beacon of hope and freedom will continue to shine.

    One hundred years ago, my father and his family emigrated from Russia to start a new life in the U.S. I was reminded of the dramatic, positive change this made for our family when I participated in a recent naturalization ceremony at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Witnessing the emotions of 19 people as they became our newest fellow citizens, so soon before the Fourth of July, affected me greatly — as have the less heartening events of the past few weeks.

    completely inaccurate - and must you always play the race card?

    Trump's proposal is "merit based" immigration- from whatever country -only allowing immigration
    ( except asylum) for those with skills that can support themselves or contribute to the economy
