Worth noting in the U.S.: in 1924 Congress capped immigration at 2% of 1890 levels, slashing arrivals from Southern/Eastern Europe and barring most Asians. Policy isn’t abstract—it reshaped who could belong. We’ve seen this playbook before. #ImmigrationHistory

🛂 “Give us your tired, your poor...”
...but only if they’re white and literate.
Late 1800s immigration policy was less about freedom and more about filtering.
Torch in one hand, gate in the other.

🛠️ Between 1880–1920, immigrant labor didn’t just support the American economy — it built it.

TODAY IN HISTORY: July 23, 1963
Senator Celler introduced a bill to destroy America’s racist immigration quotas.
He didn’t just tweak the law—he broke it wide open.
The 1965 Act gets the spotlight.
But this? This was the first blow.

🗓️ On July 17, 1954, Ellis Island closed — not as a hopeful gateway, but as an immigration detention center.
It didn’t end with open arms. It ended with locked doors. And we still haven’t learned.

10/ History’s Warning: Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) and internment were court-backed, later condemned. Today’s raids and deportations, with SCOTUS limiting recourse (Garland v. Aleman Gonzalez), repeat those wrongs. We’re on a dark path. #NeverAgain #ImmigrationHistory

So—was the 1952 INA a stepping stone toward progress or a cleverly disguised gatekeeper?
We want to hear from you: How should we judge this moment in history?

May 26, 1924: The Johnson-Reed Act became law.
It banned nearly all Asian immigration — part of a decades-long effort to control who got to be American.
They called it national security.
Security for what?
