Coolidge ASKED FOR MORE LIBERAL naturalization standards ~ essentially an AMNESTY in modern usage!

[Aetius]

Coolidge’s rhetoric on immigration was better than anything we’ve heard from the likes of Bush, or even Reagan.

And most importantly, and I repeat myself, he signed into law legislation that ended mass immigration. This alone marks him as the best President when it comes to immigration. Bush’s PC head would have exploded at the thought of cutting back on immigration.

Can you really put any other President from the past 110 years above Coolidge (from a conservative point of view) on immigration in terms of what he actually did?

Different times, and most immigrants were from different places than today. The immigrants of the Coolidge's time wanted to be Americans, to learn the language, to participate in the society. They didn't come here to join communist-leftist organizations and destroy America.

The immigration issue then and now are totally unrelated. First, immigrants then came overwhelmingly from Europe and had completely different cultural and work-ethic values than many today. Second, and most important, labor for the rapidly growing industrial and manufacturing base of the nation was in fact desperately needed. The reality today when the declining manufacturing base has been eclipsed by information-processing and high-tech cyberntics is a different world ENTIRELY than the 1920’s. No serious comparison can be made.
