From the Paper:

"Throughout our history, immigration has been the backbone of the country. Without it, the country would not have the population and diversity we have today, and without it, much of the expansion and building of the country would not have taken place. Even in our earliest history, immigration was key to growth and prosperity. At first, immigration was uncontrolled, and the first policies were not established until the late 1800s, when the country was a century old (Briggs 371). Throughout the many different policies that have affected immigration in the country, there has been one common goal - to keep out "undesirable" immigrants while allowing a steady flow of desirable immigration. For example, "In early federal regulations, 'undesirable immigrants' were typically categorized in racial terms. Commonly viewed as racially inferior and unassimilable, ethnic minorities became the targets of early federal efforts to restrict immigration" (Delaet 23)."
