Loving the downvotes on a valid, reasonable question. I'm asking for specifics, isn't that what goes into a good comment here? Or maybe the downvotes are political.

My sweetie, Here you'll find some data about the context:

War Tensions: It humiliated Japan by completely banning Asian immigrants, which fueled anti-American sentiment and helped pave the way for WWII.

Blocking Refugees: The quotas were so strict that, during the 1930s, the U.S. denied entry to thousands of Jews trying to escape the Holocaust.

Inspiration for Hitler: The law was based on eugenics (racial superiority). Hitler himself praised the act in his book, using it as a model for future Nazi racial laws.

Family Separation: Because quotas for Southern and Eastern Europe were so low, immigrants already in the U.S. were often unable to bring their wives and children, tearing families apart for decades.

The Birth of "Illegal Immigration": By making legal entry nearly impossible for many, it created the modern concept of the "undocumented immigrant" and led to the creation of the Border Patrol to manage those bypassed by the system.

My sweetie,

I'm from another country and I'm following this story from the outside. Believe me, the whole world thinks what the president of the United States is doing is wrong. >>>>Good Luck<<<<

Too vague, or did you just not like that I mentioned your orange idol? Trump is the worst president I've seen in recent years. You should feel ashamed if you support someone who has inhumane attitudes.

I think you're getting downvotes because, particularly in the AI era, this is very easy to look up
