until 1924 that is, unless you were Chinese, they had a specific act passed in the late 1880s limiting immigration from Chinese individuals for literally no reason?? idrk but it happened. it’s actually really interesting how lax the immigration laws were before then and then comparing it not only to now.

Interestingly enough trumps been using a lot of the same talking points used to justify the Chinese exclusion act literally over a century ago
