You're not really that dumb, are you? At the time of Ellis Island, in the early 1900s, the United States was accepting more than a million immigrants every year.

During that time, specifically from 1900 to 1915, this country went from 76 million people to 100 million people. 15 million of those people were immigrants.

Today, with a population of 330 million people, we only accept 675,000 immigrants per year.

It's an apples to oranges comparison. If this country had only been accepting 200,000 immigrants per year in the early 1900s, there's a good chance your family never immigrates legally because only 1/5th of the actual immigrants would be legal.

If we were keeping pace with immigration standards in the early 1900s, we would be accepting roughly 3 million people every year. So FOH with that shit.
