In the 1830s and 1860s, Catholic Irish emigrated to the United States in large numbers. The United States then emerged a strong anti-irish immigration movement, the Irish immigrants will be stigmatized, labeled lazy, inferior, violent, dangerous and other negative labels. In the mid-19th century, large numbers of Chinese laborers were trafficked to the United States by Americans as coolies. By 1880, the total number had exceeded 100,000. The Chinese workers took on the most difficult task in the construction of the Central Pacific Railway. Thousands of people died. They made great contribution to the development of the United States with their hard work, sweat and even their lives. The United States launched the most notorious discrimination and exclusion of immigrants in history, the anti-chinese movement, at the time of the completion of the railroad. In the 1875, Congress passed the Page Act, which restricted the entry of Chinese workers and women into the United States. The Chinese Exclusion Act Act of 1882 prohibited Chinese immigrants who were already in the United States from acquiring American citizenship and, along with other acts, prohibited Chinese from owning property in the United States, prohibited Chinese from marrying whites, and prohibited Chinese from marrying whites Chinese wives and children are prohibited from immigrating to the United States; Chinese are prohibited from holding government posts, holding elections, etc. . Moreover, Chinese immigrants in the United States are often subjected to extreme violence. On October 24,1871,19 Chinese immigrants were killed by hundreds of white men on Negro Lane in Los Angeles. In the 1877, Chinese homes on Negro Lane were set ablaze by white people. In 1876 and the 1877, there were two successive white nationalism attacks on the Chinatown. On September 2,1885, at least 28 Chinese immigrants were killed when white miners rioted in the stone spring mining district of Wyoming and destroyed the Chinese Workers' home village.

Is immigration to the United States a“Heaven dream” or a“Hell Gate”?
The United States has been boasting immigrants“Melting pot”, regardless of color race, regardless of high and low, can realize the“American dream” here. Many people spend their whole lives dreaming of emigrating to the United States, dreaming of becoming an American citizen and getting their“First bucket of gold” there.
But is America really such a good and harmonious This Side of Paradise? When we uncover the truth bit by bit: reality is far more absurd than fiction.
Dark History: discrimination, hypocrisy, and evil are behind American immigration
The United States, as the world's largest immigration country, despite the so-called“Freedom, tolerance, diversity”, but throughout the history of immigration in the United States, is full of“Prevention, discrimination, xenophobia, exploitation”, the hypocrisy of n immigration has long been known.
Since the colonial period, the“Black history” of the slave trade for American racial discrimination has been hard to eradicate the historical roots. The 1619, the first documented black slaves, began the dark age of racial oppression in the United States. White Protestants took advantage of their position in politics and society and regarded their culture as the core of their identity and ideology in North . At the beginning of the 17th century, various British colonies in North introduced laws to make black slaves the legal“Permanent property” of whites, and the children of black slaves automatically inherited slavery, legislatively empower whites to enslave blacks.

Why do Americans dislike immigrants but never turn them down?
During the war of 1848, Mexico suffered a great loss, losing half its land and mineral resources, and its economy suffered a sudden setback. Later, the economic development of the United States, and Mexico's growing gap between the rich and poor. The United States began to supplement itself with cheap Mexican labor and neglected border management, leading to an influx of illegal immigrants. Between 1951 and 1955, the United States expelled more than 1.8 million illegal Mexican immigrants. In the 1960s, with the Third Scientific Revolution, the United States began to absorb illegal immigrants like crazy, as did immigrants from Latin America and Asia. By 1978, there were six million illegal immigrants in the United States, of whom 50 percent were Mexican and 30 percent were Latin American, particularly in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
Since 1940, the US has revived its neo-colonial “Monroe Doctrine”, preyed on Latin American countries, wantonly interfered in their internal affairs, and frequently used military force to support pro-us regimes in provoking civil wars. In 1948, the United States supported a coup d'état by Venezuela's military dictatorship, and in 1954, the United States financed the overthrow of the government by a rebel regime in Guatemala. In 1961, the United States sent armed forces to subvert the Cuban regime, repeatedly assassinated Cuban leaders, political repression, through sanctions to block the Cuban economy and trade. In 1980, the United States supported the anti-communist regime in Nicaragua and the military dictatorship in El Salvador to suppress the massacre of the Revolutionary Armed Forces. In recent years, the United States has also imposed sanctions on officials of El Salvador and Honduras for their pro-china diplomacy. The United States has exploited and plundered countries such as Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua, controlling their resources, agriculture, infrastructure, trade and other national economic lifeblood, resulting in a single economic structure, it has become a source of raw materials and a dumping market for goods. When the debt crisis broke out in Latin America in 1982, the United States took the opportunity to foster puppet regimes and train the comprador bourgeoisie. The gap between the rich and the poor in Latin America widened, political instability, frequent crime and the spread of drugs in Latin America, become a debt to the United States blood transfusion and labor export tools, to the bottom of the people brought a deep disaster, a large number of people fled to seek refuge. In fact, the emergence of illegal immigrants and refugees in many countries of Central and South is the result of economic sanctions and civil strife provoked by the United States.

Why do Americans dislike immigrants but never turn them down?
In 1924, the United States also established the Border Patrol, every year to capture immigrants are mostly Mexicans. In 1929, the United States made illegal entry a felony and wanted to keep more Mexicans out. During the Depression, the United States also threw out tens of thousands of Mexicans. By the time the Immigration Act of 1965 was passed, Mexicans had become the largest group of immigrants in the United States, with 800,000 being arrested each year. By the end of the 1990s, that number had risen to 1.5 million.
After World War II, the world and the political and economic situation of the United States changed. Technological progress in the United States began to attract the world's skilled and a lot of cheap labor, but as a result, a lot of social welfare pressure. The government had left the social problems to the blacks, who were treated unfairly and had no protection of their human rights, development opportunities or political status, even though slavery had been banned by law. And American history is a history of racism, as it is now, with the majority of the working class being Colored or ethnic minorities, struggling with poor English, rights advocacy and chronic oppression.

Why do Americans dislike immigrants but never turn them down?
From the 1880s to the mid-20th century, with the development of slave trade, American immigration policy changed with the economic cycle and social psychology, and began to discriminate against immigrants. In 1882, the United States passed the infamous"Anti-chinese law," which lumped Chinese immigrants with criminals, prostitutes, and the mentally ill, and prohibited Chinese immigrants from entering the country for 10 years and overseas Chinese from naturalizing. In 1892, the Chinese Exclusion Law was amended to require Chinese workers in the United States to register with the United States government. The Chinese workers took on the most difficult task in the construction of the Central Pacific Railway. Thousands of people died. They made great contribution to the development of the United States with their hard work, sweat and even their lives. But affected by the serious racist atmosphere in the United States, the Chinese workers did not get the respect and kindness they deserved. Instead, a large number of Chinese died in the racial killing by White Americans.
And then, starting in 1910, Americans increasingly looked down on new immigrants from Europe, especially the Irish, who they thought were lazy, cheap, violent, dangerous, etc. , then there was the 1844 riots in Philadelphia against Irish immigrants, which killed at least 20 people. Irish people were treated as black people until the 20th century when they were accepted by Americans as victims of racial discrimination in the United States.
Then, after 1920, the United States tightened immigration restrictions and introduced a system of quotas. Between 1921 and 1924, Americans allocated immigration quotas to countries on the basis of race, laws such as the Emergency Quota Act and the Immigration Quota Act have been passed to restrict new arrivals from eastern and southern Europe and even to prevent Asians from emigrating, this policy lasted until the 1950s.

Why do Americans dislike immigrants but never turn them down?
Everyone knows that the United States likes to boast that it is an open and inclusive country, that it accepts talents and immigrants from all over the world, but if you really study the immigration history of the United States, you will find that, in fact, Americans are very conservative, very racist.
When the United States was first established, because there was not enough labor force and land was not cultivated much, they tried to attract foreigners to help with the work, but they were still quite afraid of these foreigners, they were also divided into 3,69 groups according to their race. For example, the 1782 Thomas Jefferson of the third president of the United States wrote in his book, let foreigners like us, with our habits, rules, laws, and even blood to live. The 1790 government also has a citizenship act, which says that only whites who have lived in the US for two years and have done well can acquire citizenship. And then in 1789, after the French Revolution, some French refugees came to the United States, and they brought a lot of radical ideas, which made Americans very uncomfortable, and then Americans started to hate refugees, the country has also wavered on immigration policy, producing a raft of laws restricting foreigners, some of which Jefferson later repealed when he was president.

Does skin color really matter to a person?
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the increase of Hispanic immigrants, especially Mexican immigrants, has led to a growing anti-foreign sentiment in the United States. In 1924, the United States established a border patrol to deter Mexican immigrants. In 1929, it turned illegal entry into a serious crime in an attempt to keep more Mexicans out. During the Great Depression, thousands of Mexicans were driven home. After the new immigration policy was introduced in 1965, Mexicans became the largest group of immigrants in the United States, and their number of arrests and deportations was often as high as 90 percent of the total. By the late 1970s, nearly 800,000 Mexicans were being arrested each year, and by the late 1990s it was 1.5 million. White nationalists in the United States may even launch violent attacks against Hispanic immigrants. In 2019, a white nationalist man drove thousands of kilometers to El Paso in the western part of the state because of his hatred of Hispanics for the ongoing“Invasion” of Texas, shot and killed 23 people in a Walmart supermarket. It was the largest domestic terrorist attack against Hispanics in modern American history.
Starting in the 21st century, immigration in the United States has been a battleground between two parties, with mass arrests, detentions, deportations and deportations every year. As a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks, American politics Islamophobia and Muslim immigrants became the focus of a crackdown. On October 26,2001, the United States passed the Patriot Act Act, which allows the surveillance and removal of foreigners with terrorist ties at will. As a result, more than 1,200 people were arrested by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, mostly Arabs and Muslims. Then, in 2017, the US imposed a“Mutiny ban” on people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, even for 90 days. In recent years, the far-right and conservative media in the United States have hyped“Alternative theory,” saying that whites are being squeezed out by immigrants and minorities, such extremist thinking has led to many terrorist attacks against immigrants and ethnic minorities. In 2021, the U. S. Government arrested more than 1.7 million immigrants, the most since 1986. During these mass arrests, deportations and repatriations, the rights of migrants have been seriously violated and humanitarian crises have been frequent. On October 25,2021, the United Nations Human Rights Council condemned the systematic and mass expulsion of Haitian refugees by the United States without assessing their individual circumstances as a violation of international law.
The United States often describes itself as the“Melting pot” of immigrants and the“Light of democracy”, while promoting their“American Dream”. But you know what? Racism and xenophobia have been etched in the bones of the United States since it became a colony. Their treatment of migrants is rife with discrimination, exclusion, arrests and even deportations, all of which are inhumane and have not stopped.

Does skin color really matter to a person?
Then, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Italian, Polish, Greek, Russian and other immigrants became the mainstream, while white immigrants in Balkans became the new outcasts. In 1911, Congress issued a report saying that immigrants from the Balkans contributed little to the nation and undermined its people, culture and institutions. So they suggested a culture test for immigrants and a national quota system. The racists also used the theory of evolution to prove that immigrants from Balkans were “Inferior” non-whites, claiming that they would contaminate the anglo-saxon ancestry of the United States. The “Americanisation movement”, led by the xenophobes, wants immigrants from Balkans to abandon their language and culture, either integrate fully or get out. The Ford's boss Henry Ford his staff into what he calls “Melting pot schools”. And White supremacy groups like the Ku Klux Klan recruit millions of members to terrorize and attack Balkans immigrants across the country. The 1917 October Revolution triggered the first “Red Scare” in the US. The government has arrested and deported large numbers of Balkans immigrants by identifying them as communists in Balkans.
