    Lets get the rudimentarry premise for ingress / citizenship etc. etc. straight here... Our onerous Gubbb-ment is primarily there to protect us, the citizenry (that's why we put up w/ it). We are not beholden or otherwise obligated to fulfill the whimsical fancies of the clamoring outside world... At long last, we have a POTUS that is less interested in geopolitical ideals, 'globalism', foreign notions of faux popularity - but rather more interested in nationalism... (& yes, this involves strategic geopolitical maneuvering to the extent that it benefits US here in the USA)

    - Trump's USMCA deal would be a 'for instance', lol...
    - to the extent that it's deleterious to the citizenry here in the US 'keep the world out'...

    trump is so Jim Crow since his action violates the 1870 Naturalization Act that specifically granted Africans the right to emigrate to the US.

    And more emotional conspiracy theories without facts. Busy busy.

    Pretty amusing you talking about terrorism while your lapdog traitor president gave Iran billions of dollars directly funding the largest producer of terrorism on this planet.

    Darn those pesky facts eh?

    I just thought I would jump in here since you got literally everythi8ng wrong in your post.
    It was the Democrats that created the Jim Crow laws. Those racist bastards.

    "During the Reconstruction period of 1865–1877, federal laws provided civil rights protections in the U.S. South for freedmen, the African Americans who had formerly been slaves, and the minority of blacks who had been free before the war. In the 1870s, Democrats gradually regained power in the Southern legislatures,[15] having used insurgent paramilitary groups, such as the White League and the Red Shirts, to disrupt Republican organizing, run Republican officeholders out of town, and intimidate blacks to suppress their voting.[16] Extensive voter fraud was also used. Gubernatorial elections were close and had been disputed in Louisiana for years, with increasing violence against blacks during campaigns from 1868 onward.

    In 1877, a national Democratic Party compromise to gain Southern support in the presidential election (a corrupt bargain) resulted in the government's withdrawing the last of the federal troops from the South. White Democrats had regained political power in every Southern state.[17] These Southern, white, Democratic Redeemer governments legislated Jim Crow laws, officially segregating black people from the white population.

    Blacks were still elected to local offices throughout the 1880s, but their voting was suppressed for state and national elections. Democrats passed laws to make voter registration and electoral rules more restrictive, with the result that political participation by most blacks and many poor whites began to decrease.[18][19] Between 1890 and 1910, ten of the eleven former Confederate states, starting with Mississippi, passed new constitutions or amendments that effectively disenfranchised most blacks and tens of thousands of poor whites through a combination of poll taxes, literacy and comprehension tests, and residency and record-keeping requirements.[18][19] Grandfather clauses temporarily permitted some illiterate whites to vote but gave no relief to most blacks."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws

    The immigration suit has already been fought on this issue and the Democrats lost, naturally. They seem to lose a lot in court. They file a tsuit in the 9th Circuit form a liberal judge and the ruling gets turned over in a higher court. It's almost like they make it a hobby to lose.

    I think you veered into the bushes.

    My statement was that the 1870 Naturalization Act specifically granted black Africans the right to emigrate to the US and to become citizens. trump's action goes against that and can be considered a Jim Crow action. That is understandable since trump grew up as a KKK baby.

    I'd be more than happy to include the Saudis. Why are we insistent on importing the world's most impoverished people inside of the United States? It isn't our 'tradition'. It's a 1965-onward tradition that's as stupid as it was counterproductive.

    The Irish immigrants were rich Europeans with refined tastes and fine cotillion etiquette as far as impoverished people from a famine stricken nation goes, eh...

    It's considered noble to have a Dad arrested for marching with the KKK.

    And America's first wave of immigrants set a standard. A European-Asian standard that actually worked. Is there ANYTHING about the failed reforms of 1965 that worked? We've allowed jihadist terrorists inside, political divisions and fractured sub-sections of our country.

    1965 was a mistake, the sooner we can admit that the better.

    You must have missed the era of European decent anarchist and the terrorism they displayed on American soil.

    There was a lot of political mayhem in the 19th-20th centuries, Northern Ireland as an UK example was in its religious dispute. But despite that and despite the struggles, we had reached a zenith point in relations domestically in the US. Then the chain migration policy of 1965 took its place.

    And now the Democratic Party has us on this failed course again.

    You are speaking no differently with your ultra nationalism as they did about the Germans when they immigrated in mass to the US in the 1830-1860's.

    What the US-Europeans had in common in the Western theater, was Common English(Roman) law. So the transition wasn't as far fetched, as it is now. Today, we ask those without that common connection to migrate here. And in so doing, ask them to change their customs and lifestyles here. It's neither novel nor kind. No one has won with this 1965-onward arrangement. And the proof that no one has won, is that thus far there's been no attempt to defend the indefensible.

    Except to say "there had been resistance before". Yes, between what is acknowledged to be European cousins by and large. What we have today, is a completely different situation and we all know it.
