Below is an article from Wikipedia.com on the Immigration Acts of the United States. For those who are interested, you should take a look at each one and see how much America's immigration policy has changed. You will also be able to see how America slowly went from trying to protect White majority and culture to not trying at all. I would like to add that the Naturalization Act of 1790 was followed by the Naturalization Act of 1795 which was also restricted to free WHITE persons.     Naturalization Act of 1795  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalization_Act_of_1795    In addition, the Naturalization Act of 1795 was then followed by the Naturalization Act of 1798 which was yet again restricted only to free WHITE persons.
