Answer 2

Before about 1880, there were no laws concerning Immigration to the United States. Anybody who could get here was welcome. Note, for example, the number of Chinese laborers who substantially built the trans-continental railroad in the 1870's, or the Irish who fled the "Potato Famine" in the decades after that, or the Russians fleeing the pogroms after 1900. Immigrants filed a written "Intent to apply for citizenship" document and could take the test to become a citizen a couple of years later. In many cases, those letters of intent have have become valuable data in tracing ones ancestry.

Those first anti-immigrant laws were passed to ban Chinese, and later Asians in general. By the early 1920s, laws were enacted restricting the influx of eastern Europeans, and only later were Central Americans and Hispanics in general subject to restrictions.
