Reading @jialynnyang& #39;s book. Rekt by this paragraph. Imagine being an Asian-American fighting all the way to the Supreme Court for citizenship, losing, and then having your only son die fighting for this country in WWII. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozawa_v._United_States">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozaw...
Wow, this country really did not want to accept Jewish refugees as the Holocaust started.
The U.S. still didn& #39;t want to accept that many Jewish refugees after the Holocaust ended.
As you can tell, I like U.S. immigration policy histories. "Impossible Subjects" by Mae Ngai is also great. https://www.amazon.com/Impossible-Subjects-Illegal-America-Politics-ebook/dp/B00HKMUY5C/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=mae+ngai&qid=1590443102&s=digital-text&sr=1-2">https://www.amazon.com/Impossibl...
And so is "The Guarded Gate," which is almost like a prequel to Yang& #39;s book about the run-up to the 1924 immigration law and its roots in eugenics and race science. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MKDJP4Z/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MKD...
