“The Founders showed by example when they enacted naturalization laws in the states that they supported a very generous and liberal notion of citizenship and naturalization.”

Our immigration laws weren’t even fond of anyone from even Eastern Europe...at the time we saw them as backwards.

Backwards like Revolutionary hero Casimir Pulaski?

The Framers had no prejudice against Eastern Europeans and did not see them as "backwards."
