The U.S. has a checkered history of racism and still struggles with it.

When discriminatory laws and settler violence failed to expel them from the region, the settlers pounded Congress to develop a system of federal immigration control.

In response to their demands, Congress passed the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited Chinese laborers from entering the country for 10 years. The law focused on Chinese laborers, the single largest sector of the Chinese immigrant community. In 1884, Congress required all Chinese laborers admitted before the Exclusion Act was passed to secure a certificate of reentry if they wanted to leave and return. But, in 1888, Congress banned even those with certificates from reentering.

Then, when the Chinese Exclusion Act was set to expire in 1892, Congress passed the Geary Act, which again banned all Chinese laborers and required all Chinese immigrants to verify their lawful presence by registering with the federal government. The federal authorities were empowered by the law to find, imprison and deport all Chinese immigrants who failed to register by May 1893.

Together, these laws banned a nationally targeted population from entering the United States and invented the first system of mass deportation. Nothing quite like this had ever before been tried in the United States.

Chinese immigrants rebelled against the new laws. In 1888, a laborer named Chae Chan Ping was denied the right of return despite having a reentry certificate and was subsequently confined on a steamship. The Chinese immigrant community hired lawyers to fight his case. The lawyers argued the case up to the U.S. Supreme Court but lost when the court ruled that “the power of exclusion of foreigners [is an] incident of sovereignty belonging to the government of the United States” and “cannot be granted away or restrained on behalf of anyone.”

Simply put, Chae Chan Ping v. U.S. established that Congress and the president hold “absolute” and “unqualified” authority over immigrant entry and exclusion at U.S. borders.  unquote

America’s mass deportation system is rooted in racism

It is amusing to see how the racists and MAGAs get their shirts in a knot over this subject.

Says the coward who ran away from me and refuses to actually address questions here to support your baseless assertions.

I live with reality all the time and am not fooling myself.   Unfortunately, I think you have been fooled along with most of the world.  

How so you might say.  That is a long story, but very briefly it all comes down to what God says in the Bible.

I know you, like most here, don't want to hear about it, but it is the hard truth.

The King James Bible explains it clearly.  Man is a corrupt fallen sinner.

That is the cause of all the hate in the world.  Couldn't say it simpler.

Get yourself a King James Bible and study it.

Of course I can't abolish racism.  Neither can you or anybody else on here abolish any of the evils in the world or change the world.

  I am only pointing out one of the big problems in the world.  It is one subject of many that come up on the forum.  Likely it will change nothing.  But sometimes there is the odd person that learns something on a forum.  Perhaps we do learn a little about how other people think.

Ok...so the Bible constitutes reality on Earth for you. Interesting.

Here is an interesting 3 minute video from Fox News.  I never watch Fox News, but came across this short video that explains one interesting and important thing from the Bible.  It is not the central message of the Bible, but could be a useful lesson that could help reduce heart attacks, strokes, mental issues, conflicts, stress, and other things if one pays attention.  It makes a lot of sense.  It teaches us to avoid anger and quick judgment.  Keep cool, listen a lot, and be moderate.

I remember from early 2021 to early 2025 how aliens bumrushed our borders because democrats hate their own country, but love illegal invasion followed by the establishment of criminal enterprises and indentured servitude. 

It's because of law hating psychopath democrats that we had to be sure that Trump could scoop up all the illegal filth and maybe even throw a few traitors in jail. 

What I find amusing is that racists like you think using illegal aliens to pick your crops, scrub your toilets, and overwhelm the system with welfare, drug abuse and prostitution is not only acceptable, but the right thing for everyone.

LOL, listen a lot... from the person who has me on ignore because I called you out for being a liar and you can't own up to that. 

Then you are going to spam this forum with threads about how narrowly defined Chrisitanity is and if no one does it just the way you say, they are not Christians. 

What does your Bible say about being such a pathological liar?
