Posted right here. Would have taken the same time to look, as make that moronic and lazy comment. But then again. That seems to be your limit.
The first major immigration law in the United States was the Naturalization Act of 1790, which established the country's first naturalization process:
Eligibility: Limited citizenship to white immigrants who had lived in the U.S. for at least two years, and their children under 21
Requirements: Applicants had to demonstrate good moral character and swear allegiance to the Constitution
Citizenship for children: Children born abroad to U.S. citizens were also granted citizenship
Other major immigration laws include:
Immigration Act of 1882: Established the first federal immigration bureaucracy, and restricted immigration to certain classes of people
Immigration Act of 1864: Enforced contracts for immigrant labor formed abroad by U.S. courts
Steerage Act of 1819: Required the captain of any ship arriving in the United States to deliver a passenger manifest to a federal official
Asians harassed then banned post civil war.
Tibs, stop projecting. If it's possible.
We are all immigrants. We just were not paid to come and went though the port of calls.
