Abstract: After the U.S. Civil War, federal authorities began building the framework for our modern immigration regime. By the 1930s, they had adopted a variety of laws, rules, and tactics designed to target non-White immigrants for exclusion, punishment, and removal, imposing a Whites-only immigration regime in all but name. To date, federal authorities have revised but have yet to repeal this regime. This essay is a written version of the author’s 2024 Western History Association presidential address.
