When was the last time the United States closed down its borders to almost all foreign travel?

Well, that's not entirely true. All air travel was closed down in the aftermath of 9/11.

Yeah but school went on, businesses didn't close outside the affected area and the stock market didn't crash at the same % loss as it has.

Overreaction or appropriate reaction, this is different and hasn't been seen before.

After Dec 7 1941 things got pretty restrictive too, including internment of segments of our population..
