RE: What the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 Should Teach Trump on Immigration and Border Walls

in #history6 years ago

Hi @streetstyle, great post dear.

Trump's position on immigrants is not new to his predecessors. If we go back to the past, Trump's approach to immigrants finds roots in black pages that have traced the history of immigration to the United States, showing anti-rejectionist attitudes toward certain categories of immigrants.

Unlike his predecessors several decades ago, Trump was quick to launch anti-immigration attitudes, restricting entry visas, without hiding his desire to expel millions of illegal immigrants. In turn, he called for attracting rich immigrants with high levels of science, especially among white Europeans.
