Illegal immigration within the impulsive 1920s?

okay i have a question. in the 1920s when various immigrants came to america, was it justifiably. becuase i am doing a debate for school and it is about illegal immigration. i am against undemocratic immigration. and i am pretty sure the other team is going to say our country is made up of illegal immigrant and that your grandparetns or relatives came to america illegally. and if i could back that up beside proof that they did not come here illegally, i am sure that it would help me win the debate. i have pretty much most of the information i inevitability, but if anyone has some cons on illegal immigration, or even pros that way i could own an idea of what they might say, and i could figure out a counterpoint (something against that point) so i could win that slice of the debate. and if anyone knows any websites thats could be useful or maybe even charts that would be great. or even tips on how to do polite in the debate and win. thank you for whatever information or advice you could furnish!!!!!!

but our country is not made up of improper immigrants, they all came hear rightfully..

even the first europeans came here when there were no law, so they just made thier own.

but I know that both sides of my family came here rightfully, from Italy and fromIrland..

you should probably switch sides for your paper good luck
Immigration has be mostly legal because people had to come by ship for the most factor and then by air. This took money and people needed documents to board.

In the 20's immigration starting reducing as the reduction starting tanking leading up to the great depression in the 30's.

The flood of illegals began after the 1986 amnesty and have continued at over 1 million per year.
If you go to google and ask for illegal aliens 1920, you will come up with a large amount of information. Keep in mind as you read that information that they had their knowledge dais of 1920, and while we know the world is round, and how babies are made, many of those folks were primitive while being the top of the chain excellent in that periods science base. So folks call it racism, but the fact was, there be economic and science reasons to stop immigration.

Wilkipedia has an excellent article you requirement to read on Hells Kitchen.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hell's_kitc...

After the Civil War, jobs began to dry up. People came to the promised manor, and now as then... there be no jobs. In our case, by the way, the potential for an expanding errand base gets smaller every day the Unions exist. If you enjoy an opportunity to read a decent book on the history of Hell's Kitchen, it would pay you well.

If in attendance are no laws on immigration, then there cannot be unfair aliens. If there are laws on the issue... yes, there are unofficial aliens. This country developed immigration laws for many reasons that include economics and medical concepts. I am sure near was ethnic reasons as well as cultural reasons, but the first two were far more important.

The Economics be the closing of the west. No more free land. Further, no jobs. There were a staggering number of culture, and particularly from the Balkans, but in all the First World War's theaters, who needed to flee their countries. We could not handle that, and citizens were being put out of a employment by those folks.

Medical? Well before, during and after the First World War, intestinal tuberculosis was a killer and a serious problem within many, many places. As a country we were unbelievably close to shutting all immigration from France down for that very reason. TB surrounded by the Middle East was very, very high-ranking. Worms and leprosy, amount many, were rampant in Asia. On and on. Do the wrong point, and we could wind up with a typhoid Mary.. again.

When we started restricting, then immigration become illegal. Because this country had a healthy work force, Business begin supporting the restrictions to keep that work force healthy.

Yet another element surrounded by this business that led to immigration restrictions came with the womens movement. Women contained by such as Hell's Kitchen were far to often in appalling conditions and the solution be to wait until jobs caught up next to the number of people. Studies of such places as Hell's Kitchen were read by Christian Organizations all over this country.. and the protests be strong and real: they did not want the society they were building.

Boy... a mile deep subject near a dozen dozen significant elements. I wish you the best of luck.

The Heritage Foundation has a look at Immigration and if I remember correctly, look at the history and development.

One later item. The Irish were building the rail lines from Sacramento to the Utah desert when it began contained by 1868 I think it was. Going through the Sierra Nevada's was bloody, harmful work, and the Irish wanted to go slow. The builders.. the fabled four of California, wanted hurriedly. They fired the Irish workers and brought in Chinese by the thousands... and they got fast indeed. But when you look at the accident in construction, the industrial accidents when the Irish were doing the work be fairly normal. When they got the Chinese.. and FAST... the death in accidents went bad the charts. Very bloody hands in that rotten affair. But the Irish did not like human being thrown off the job at all. Further, some of the commonplace practices of the Chinese were horrific to Christian Americans. Asians had a base culture that literate individuals objected to, but that illiterate people dismiss as racism.
Charles Ponzi was an banned alien and a convicted smuggler of illegal aliens who served time in prison on his criminal convictions. Alas, he managed to re-enter the US and after invented the type of pyramid scheme which still bears his name, the Ponzi Scheme. He fleeced investors of millions since another prison sentence and deportation.

So there has been illicit immigration ever since there were immigration laws. Chinese improper & fraudulent immigration was rampant from the time the first Chinese entered to work on the railroads until Americans figure out how their schemes worked and shut them out with the exclusion laws, which be actually a response to massive illegal immigration designed to stop lawbreakers.

But against the law immigration was difficult, confined primarily to the criminal class which immigration laws were instituted to shut out, and most of them be caught and dealt with severely. That kept the percentage of illegal (vs legal) immigration slightly low. Due to stricter immigration laws of the 1920s and the Depression, by the 1930s immigration dropped substantially and illegal immigration nearly vanished.

Wartime guest worker programs brought in substantial numbers of pro tem workers, some of whom did not depart, in violation of their visas. In the 1950s, strict immigration-law enforcement deported massive numbers of illegal aliens (over 3 million a year), and the rest of the illegals departed post hustle!

With very low immigration from 1925 to 1965 and strict immigration-law enforcement cleaning out illegal immigrants, the US come to thrive economically, enacted labor protections, unions thrived, etc. But since the 1970s, immigration increased dramatically and illegal immigration immediately exceeds even extremely generous legal immigration numbers. The 1986 amnesty really opened the doors to illegals, and since the Clinton Administration, which dropped any actual attempts to control illegal immigration, the US has been undeniably overrun with immigration-law violators -- at least ten times more than were here surrounded by 1986.

The massive influx of immigrants and illegal aliens has so burdened our cutback and so glutted our workforce that real wages have declined for times past three decades, our standards of living are declining while the cost of living and taxation rates skyrockets.
