I replied that this was was not so.
Now you link to a US law that shows that in fact, immigration was allowed from 24 to 65.
You do understand that limiting immigration to whatever the law provides is not in fact stopping all immigration, don't you?
The Immigration Act of 1924, or JohnsonReed Act, including the National Origins Act, and Asian Exclusion Act (Pub.L. 68139, 43 Stat. 153, enacted May 26, 1924), was a United States federal law that set quotas on the number of immigrants from certain countries while providing funding and an enforcement mechanism to carry out the longstanding (but hitherto unenforced) ban on other non-white immigrants.
The law was primarily aimed at further decreasing immigration of specific groups of Europeans, including Italians, Greeks, Poles, Slavs, and Eastern European Jews.
[1][2][3][4] The law affirmed the longstanding ban on the immigration of other non-white persons, with the exception of black African immigrants (who had long been exempt from the ban).
Thus, virtually all Asians were forbidden from immigrating to America under the Act.
IT stopped most immigration not all. But compared to previous levels it was almost all.
Trump is a hero, doing great things to turn the economy and the country around. With clear results.
But the unemployment numbers have been tinkered with over the decades such that they are artificially low. And we still have a crazy number of people on disability and otherwise out of the workforce. So the historic claims can fairly be given an asterisk.
That act of course did not ban all immigration.
I did disagree. The employment numbers, when adjusted for population growth, are astounding. The same number of unemployed as when the country was half the population? It is amazing.
When you look at the numbers is was virtually stopped.
No, not when they count it differently.
Explain?
Then there is also this. Obama was especially industrious in creating lifelong Democrat voters by adding millions to disability:
