- More about Immigration Records: Paperwork,
Paperwork, Paperwork! As the "open immigration policy" became
increasingly unpopular in the 18th century, the federal government
passed the Alien Act (1798); this was the first national attempt to
regulate immigration. This law allowed the President to deport any
non-citizen who might be considered dangerous to the United States for
any reason. However, the law was abused and some settlers were deported
without just cause. The Alien Act was replaced by new legislation in
1800.

Statue of Liberty
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome;
her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Poem Author - Emma Lazarus
