“America Wanted to Keep Immigrants Out Long Before Donald Trump Was Even Born — The United States was an explicitly racist project intended to populate the land with white people—maybe that’s what Donald means by ‘Make America Great Again’?”

This is an interesting article that appeared in The Nation today about the history of immigration in the United States.  It gives a clear picture of how the phrase “a nation of immigrants” is misleading and poorly understood by many citizens.

THE CONSTITUTION of the United States of America

On this site, constitutional experts interact with each other to explore the Constitution’s history and what it means today. For each provision of the Constitution, scholars of different perspectives discuss what they agree upon, and what they disagree about. These experts were selected with the guidance of leaders of two prominent constitutional law organizations—The American Constitution Society and The Federalist Society. This project is sponsored by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation.
