Because we're full! The U.S. population is already over 300 MILLION. It's not like we have to settle the western frontier! We're already paving over most of the farmland we need to feed all the people currently living here. We're running out of food, land, water, clean air, etc., etc. If we hope to maintain our living standard, we must stop more people from coming here. There is no "right to immigrate". Our resources are finite, and unless we want to turn our country into a densly populated, barren 3rd world nation then we better wake up and stop the inflow now. There just isn't room for any more people. We need to ban ALL legal Immigration and put the Marines on our borders (north & south) with authorization to shoot anyone attempting to enter "undocumented". It wouldn't be a massacre; after the first dozen killed, the rest would understand we're serious about controlling our borders. And no, there is NO comparison to the Berlin Wall; they were trying to keep their own citizens in, where as we are keeping outsiders from violating our borders. Anyone who wants to leave (and take a few million others with them) would be more than welcome to. Yes, we are a nation of immigrants- even the natives probably came here from somewhere else. But when my family came to this country in 1682 & 1872 we were still expanding the frontier westward. They were needed to clear the forests and plow the prairie. But now we're full from sea to shining sea. At some point we have to say enough is enough. It's being anti-anybody, it's self-preservation.

In the late 1800s, the U.S. government implemented restrictive immigration policies, notably with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which effectively banned Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States. This was the first significant law to restrict immigration based on nationality and race. Subsequent legislation, such as the Immigration Act of 1891, further established barriers against certain groups and laid the groundwork for more restrictive immigration policies in the 20th century.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was a significant law that banned immigration from China to the United States. It was the first federal law to restrict immigration based on nationality and was enacted in response to economic fears and racial prejudice against Chinese laborers. The act effectively halted Chinese immigration for ten years and was later extended and made permanent until it was repealed in 1943.
