It was stopped with the Immigration Act of 1924, partly as a result of nativist drivel like this cartoon.

Every single person who came through Ellis Island
was a legal immigrant
had passed a medical inspection
had proof of having enough resources to pay for their upkeep in the US, or a US financial sponsor guaranteeing same
was turned away if failing any of the above tests, with no possibility of appeal
Shipping liner companies were charged to return ineligible passengers to their origin (the same is true with airlines today), so they had every incentive to verify ahead of time that they could enter the destination country. The "only 2% of immigrants were rejected at Ellis Island" statistic often bandied-about by the pro-open borders side elides the restrictions that caused the rate to be so low in the first place.
I, for one, am very much in favor of reinstating such barriers to entering the US.

"WOP" literally means "With Out Papers".

Any explanation of the origins of a pre-WW2 term which claims it to be an acronym is almost invariably false. Wop's origins are not perfectly clear, but it's thought to be from

It's almost like one word can mean two things...
Next you're going claiming Cardi B is a linguist scholar.

Additional rule: any statement which begins with "it's almost like" is almost invariably half-baked and underconsidered.
No, a backronym invented decades later is not an actual 'extra meaning' of the word. 'Fuck' does not have an additional meaning of "for unlawful carnal knowledge," 'tip' does not mean "to insure promptness." These are just things people adopt and say to feel like they have a piece of clever inside knowledge.

This cartoon is about Italians clearly. How’d they end up with the name WOP if they indeed all had papers?

How would you handle tourists? Overstaying a holiday visa is a pretty common way to stay illegally

Now we yearn for the days when they were at least from the European slums.

And Europe is now a giant third world slum.
The real mistake at root was the fall of the British Empire.
We would be on Mars now if it had maintained the just order of things.
Slavery would have kept crime down, emphasis on education and technological development, spirit of exploration, looking fucking marvelous in our redcoats.

Implying that you would rather not exist than simply live around people different than you is crazy. I mean, not that this person is for sure an immigrant, but not accepting an influx of people during these 60 or so odd years would've radically changed our current reality and simply no person alive today would exist the same

Meanwhile Trump: "I said, why is it we only take people from shithole countries, right? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia… places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting."
