OTD in 1917 all Mexican, Asian, & African immigration was banned via Asiatic Barred Zone Act—with practically open borders for Northern & Western Europe immigrants. This law was on the books for nearly 4 decades and even after its repeal BIPOC immigrants have faced far greater scrutiny than white immigrants.

So when MAGAs scream to “come here legally,” remind them their ancestors likely got here via white supremacy in immigration policy, and to rectify that first before pointing the finger.
