More than once, this article condemns immigration quotas in the context of the evils of eugenics. Pardon my cynicism, but I suspect this is the reason this article was posted and written in the first place.

Immigration quotas were not created to impose an evil agenda, neither are they being contemplated and discussed now for an evil purpose.

Nothing to see here... move along.

Unless you are some kind of racist/eugenicist who doesn't view deliberate racial discrimination as an evil agenda, you should retract your statement above since it is factually in error. The first immigration quotas were entirely racist in their nature and intent. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was completely race based and the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the Immigration Act of 1924 were explicitly structured to favor Caucasians and preserve the existing racial balance.
