Didn't they pretty much come legally?

There was neither legal nor illegal immigration prior to the legislation
of
the early 1920's.

Nice sidestep!


Not a sidestep... a fact. except for the vicious Chinese regulations of the
1880's, there was no such thing as being illegal prior to the early 20's...
so the concept of legal vs. illegal immigration did not exist.
