“Back then” means the immigrants 1) came in legally and 2) did not demand Americans provide them with free housing and food.
"Back then" means that Americans hadn't been poisoned to believe that immigration was bad for the country. Immigration wasn't a political football for a racist right wing fascist party that was afraid of racial minorities.
The world is watching Americans murder non-white citizens with impunity. The world has watched you attack and fuck up Central America and South America for generations fighting "communism". YOU caused the problems in the Middle East taking Saddam Hussein out of Iraq, and creating 6 million refugees from Syria, and then you refused to take in a single refugee.
The USA is no longer the "home of the brave and the land of the free". Not even close. Home of those who live in fear of "replaced". Your country isn't being undermined and destroyed by non-white immigration. It's being destroyed by the "whites only" anti-democratic Republican Party and by people like you who are prepared to toss out everything your country stood for, to make sure white people have all of the power.
SELFISH, RACIST AND STUPID IS NO WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE.
