The quota for immigrants entering the U.S. was set at two percent of the total of any given nation`s residents in the U.S. as reported in the 1890 census;

This didn't limit total immigration but capped the number from certain countries.

Got a relevant example?

after July 1, 1927, the two percent rule was to be replaced by an overall cap of 150,000 immigrants annually and quotas determined by "national origins" as revealed in the 1920 census.

We need to stop all immigration now. The average citizen worker-taxpayer does not benefit from immigration in anyway. Immigration is burden on them. The competition for work and additional taxes is an onerous burden.

Immigration helps the ruling political and the corporate management elite classes only.

It comes down to nationalism vs globalism.
