After WW2 the US went through it's greatest growth period and that's when we were lax on immigration policies.

Bullshit. That border was wide open since the beginning of our country. Mexican AND USA citizens were crossing back and forth unimpeded until very recently.
I can't believe that YOU believe that some dirt poor Mexican peasant who lives within 5 miles of the border would write Washington D.C. 100 years ago and petition for a "seasonal work visa" which was then issued by the magic Visa fairy along the border.
Or that anybody 100 years ago who lived and worked along the border gave two shits about what was said or done in Washington D.C.? Or do you think they jumped on the internet or turned on the t.v. to find out those kinds of things back in the 1800's?
Come on man, use some common sense. Not only were the real people who live in that part of the world unaware of anything that Washington D.C. might be doing back then...they also could have cared less if they did know.
Damn, it's shocking to see so many people with so much trust in the federal govt.
Very un-American if you ask me.
