I think we are splitting hairs, and there probably isn't much different what each of us is getting at. BTW, to observe that our land borders have always been wide open is not the same as saying they should be today given the era in which we live and challenges we face as a nation.

And to confuse the issue, during the 1880's the Fed.gov started a system of health checks which if one failed, would cause one to be 'denied entry'. It was mandatory, and anyone not landing at a formal entry point was fined or jailed.

But there was no quota system (except from China-Japan-Asia) for any group till the 1920's.
