Immigration Restrictions

Throughout history, Congress has passed laws to restrict immigration. Sometimes these laws were aimed at specific countries, like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, which barred Chinese laborers from entering the United States for 10 years. Others were aimed at entire regions, such as the Johnson-Reed Immigration Act of 1924, which limited immigration from EuropeOthers were aimed at classes of people,such as an 1882 immigration act that barred entry to criminals, paupers, and the insane, among others.

Why do you think Congress passed some of these restriction acts? Do you think Congress always acted honorably? Should anyone who wants to live in the United States be able to live here, or should there be some restrictions on immigration? Defend your thinking. If you believe there should be restrictions, explain what they should be.

  2. I think the congress passed some of these restriction acts because they don't want bad people to join the country. I thin Congress always acted honorably because the congress sometime do something many people disagree with. I think anyone shouldn't have the right to live in the United States because people who done crimes came to this new country to start a new life but they can still be dangers and done another crime in the United States. I believe there should be restrictions because the restrictions can block bad people from enter the country which helps the country from get bad people such as there are many people who done crime in their own country then came to the US to start a new life

      I agree that bad people should not be able to come to the
      US but how can you know they are bad and that they won't be bad anymore. Also what if they committed a crime in their old country this one might be a smaller one ( not crucial).

    Congress may have passed these acts because they wanted to keep this country fresh (the country's reputation) and to keep it safe. No they did not acted honorably because they restricted immigration which kind of go against freedom. They should at least pass a certain test or examination to get into the U.S.

  7. i think congress passed some of these restriction acts because they want less population and they don't really like Chinese. I don't think the congress always acted honorably because they only banded the Chinese and not the other country. Anyone who wants to live in the u.s should be able to live here because everyone have rights to make decisions.

    I think Congress passed some of these restrictions because they don't want to mess up the reputation of their society. Yes, because people come to start a new life hoping they can make a little money. They want a chance to start over but restriction should occur when someone looks suspicious or check the persons criminal record.

  11. Rubaiya 812 - i think that congress passed some of these restriction acts.Because the congress does not want thier people to leave their country. Because the population of their country will decrease. I think the congress didn't always acted honorably, because if the congress loves their people then they would have been let them decide where to live. Anyone who lives in the United States be able to live here. Because United States has freedom and you can come whenever you want. Or live where ever you want. I believe there shouldn't be restrictions.

  14. I think Congress passed some of these restriction law acts because they didn't like that idea of being involved with certain things. Congress did not act honorably because they didn't let immigrants live in the United States because of the restriction law. I think that anyone who wants to live in the United State should live there because they have the right to start a better life.They shouldn't really be a restriction on immigrants because immigrants are the reason why the United States is a powerful nation.

  19. I think the Congress did some of these restrictions for some good reasons, but most others were bad.I think it acted half-honorably because some restrictions were good, but others were bad. I think that the majority of people should be able to live in here, but people such as criminals, and insane people would just make things worse.

  38. i think congress passed these acts because they wanted the us not to overpopulate and keep it safe from people who had problems such as they had disease and some were criminals.also sometimes they passed these laws because they were being prejudice for like the chinese. i believe these wer not honorable to the country beacuse it was not fair for others, they restricted people from coming only because of certain problems and the places they came from just because they didnt like it. i believe anyone who wants to live in the U>S should have the right only if they are not criminals or carry disease. this can harm others and make them leave. also it can make america a unsafe place.people who are dangerous to the country should not be let in the country.

I think Congress passed the restriction acts because they didn't want an overpopulation since that would be hard for people to live and they wouldn't be as safe since the percentage of criminals would rise. I think Congress acted honorably because they're trying to protect the country and make it as safe as possible. I think there should be some restrictions on immigration because for example, a doctor came to New York and brought a disease called Ebola, so they have to check the person specific so we would be safe.

  49. I think the congress pass some restriction because the U.S could get over population with people who didn't belong there. Ans some people are really bad crimes who are trying to escape their country and go to America. This is very dangerous because then the U.S.A can get increased at crime, more crime will go on like robbing and killing. This will make the country a unsafe place. To keep the place safe the congress passed this restriction. I think the congress didn't always act honorably because bad and good people were together so they could give the permission to the wrong people. Instead of giving the pass to people who are good for America they can give the pass to people who are bad. I think there should be this restriction because, the U.S can get over crowded, it can be hard to get jobs and most importantly U.S.A can became a unsafe place without the restriction

  50. The Congress passed the restriction acts because they thought the immigrants would bring damaging and harmful ideas such anarchy, socialism ( restriction of individuals' First Amendment rights) into the country. I think the Congress do not always acted honorably. For instance, they proposed the Chinese Exclusive Act to prohibit the Chinese immigrants into the United States. I think it is not necessary to put restrictions on the trend of immigration because the country itself is made of ethnicity around the globe.

  61. I think that the congress have passed such an act is because that the think that there is to much population so they try to lower the population with such an act.In my option I think that the congress is not honorably about the population because that the more population the more people if they have passed a law to decrease population then they are racist to the different people coming to united state.I think they can have a good point because that if they have a law to decrease the population then united state will not be to over crowded by people.

  70. (Habiba Sheikh 813 ) I think congress passed laws to restrict immigration because they did not want a lot of people to come to america. I think there should be restrictions on immigration because we do not want criminals. If we have criminals in the u.s then this country will be like Honduras which is the most dangerous country in the world

  71. i think that congress passed this act because they wanted to control the population and the Chinese had a large population. I think it was not the honorable thing to do because they are being contradistinction towards a certain ethnic group. Even thought the bill of rights said all men are created equally. they should have a system in which there are a certain amount of spots and if some one dies the spot can be filled in by an immigrant.

  72. i think congress passed those acts because maybe at that time the economy of the us couldnt support all those immagrants or they just didnt want that many people of that certain race.i dont think it was an honorable thing to do because people deserve to live in in any place they wanted to live in.also america was created from immigrants so why cant immagrants come to america."LAND OF THE FREE"

    1. i agree with you zhanpeng because the hole point of immagrants coming to america is for the big reason and that is for the united states of america is the land of the free and immagrants want to have there freedome just like everyone else so what is wrong with immagrants comeing to america

  73. (samiha akter 811) these restriction laws were created because their could have been some deceases or other negative things that made them think that they should restrict that coutry from coming. congress sometimes acts honorably and sometimes doesnt when congress makes right decisions then they is honored but when they doesnt they make some mistakes. immigrants should be allowed to live i the united states because they can visit their family or other things but they should be allowed to explore united states. the restrictions should be people that have anything wrong with them like if they have deceases they shouldnt come unless they wanna come for the decease to be cured.

    1. I agree with everything you stated but another possible reason is that the Congress didn't want the USA to become overpopulated which would mean more responsibility and "chores" for the Congress.

  74. I do think that Congress passed this act. A possible reason why is the maybe they felt that they should control the population because if the population increases, the Congress would have more responsibility. I think that passing these restrictions were not a good idea because people are coming to America for a better life and future. Preventing them from doing so is unfair. Even though an overload of immigrants coming to America would become a little more hectic for the Congress, it's all for a good reason.

  76. (Jamima Priti) I think Congress passed some of these restriction acts because they didn't want a high population of Chinese immigrants or other immigrants from other countries. I think Congress wouldn't always acted honorably because some of their decisions are all based on the societies point of view. Even though the Bill of Rights stated that all men are equally created, they should have a way of telling in which there are a variety or amount of spots that can be replaced by another immigrant in case someone else is gone.

  77. The Congress passed the restriction acts because they thought the immigrants would bring damaging and harmful ideas. i think congress was wrong because people have right to live here and they wont try to ruin it for themselves by bring harmful ideas. congress cant just kick them out and if they wanna they should check people's criminal records and if they have any diseases that can affect others. also the laws they make gives them chills so they wont try to do something bad.

  78. i dont think congress acted honorably against the chinese immagration because they did nothing wrong like if they banned germans and japanese in WW2 that would make sense because they were enemies to the united states of america. Also america wants to be the best country and safest, so there should be some restrictions, like criminals and the insane because they are mentally unstable and could be dangerous to civilians, and also people with diseases should be kept out because this can kill many people.

  79. I think the congress passed the restriction act because they don't want people from other countries bringing diseases over to america or they don't want criminals to travel to america. I think people who want to live here from other countries should be allowed to this is because they also want a chance at having better life. The congress are not that honorable because they were willing to create the restriction act and leave those people in countries who are slaves and that want a better life . - Feezan 811

  80. I think that Congress passed these laws because they didnt want many immigrants to enter America.No, i dont think Congress acted honorably. I do think that there could be some restrictions to immigration. One being that,immigrants with a criminal record should not be able to get to America.- Jason Garcia 811

  81. i think congress passed some of these acts to keep the bad people from coming in. for an example people with diseases or people who hate the U.S.A.

  82. I think that the only thing that can be considered good is the restriction of criminals. The reason why I think this is because such criminals would hurt people in some sort of way. However, it wasn't an honorable thing of Congress to do to ban Chinese people, people from certain regions, limit people coming from Europe, and certain classes of people. It was wrong of them to do so. Banning the Chinese was racist, and that as well as everything else, excluding criminals, was an unjust decision. A criminal is something no one wants around them because criminals can damage anything they'd like to, for example, your bank account, your home, and even you. But, every other kind of person was simply unfair to them.

    I think congress passed this act because they don't want bad people to enter U.S.I think congress don't always act this horribly, they might want to prevent to much population to go up so fast. I think any one can live in United State because it a free country and any on can find a job their, that why they came.

  84. l think congress passed these laws to keep the country small or keep spies from other countries out of the U.S.A. I think if immigrants want to come to this country to start a new life ten they should come but with respect.They should at least not spoil the land with waste.-from Xavier Hernandez

  85. (Maham Rasheda) I think Congress passed the restricton acts because of the population. If the population increases it would be a bg problem for the economy. Everyone would have to look for ajob and the chances of people getting homeless is possiable. Also they passed these laws becasue in order to check dseases and other sickness. If they didnt do this then it will lead a problem. People would spread disases and sickness all over.

  86. I think congress passed these laws because he wants to protect the United States. Congress is not understanding and not honorable. Who ever wants to live in America should have the right. It wasnt their fault they were born in a different country

  88. (Seewing Zheng) i think that congress passed the laws that restricted immigrates to comes because they are scared that they might carry a disease. Another reason is that they might bring war with them or that they are criminals or outlaw who escaped from jail. they probably think the population will over grow if they let Chinese immigrants the population might grow because china is a humongous country. i think the people who wants to live here should live here. that is because they are probably poor and trying to help their family and they want their kids to have a better education.Congress dont always act honorably because they just think about themselves and not thinking how other countries are suffering. If there was to be restrictions it should say something that keeps away danger but welcome the poor and people who needs a better opportunity.

    (Avi Ni)i think congress passed these acts, because they want to make america a safe place for people to live in.they also passed these acts so america wont be overpopulated since there are a lot of imigrants coming to america.i do not think congress always act honorably,because even if they dont want a lot people to come to america, they should know that every person living in this world have the right to travel to any place they want. the congress should not pass these to be involved in this issue.
