Note that Greenland is already de facto part of the US military network. So the US strengthening its position there to protect its interests is closer to the US strengthening its commitment to Taiwan.

So a rather insulting comparison by the left. If anything, willingness to show a commitment to imperial projects may strengthen Chinese perception of US commitment to Taiwan, a strategic node in the US network and key element of the US Asia strategy.

Or is it suggested here that Taiwan is Greenland, and the US Denmark? A better comparison perhaps, but Taiwan isn’t a territory and has 23 million people and an actual military.

19th century migration didn’t deal with a welfare state, and people dispersed on the frontier. Migrants couldn’t quickly naturalize. Chinese were excluded completely. When migrant flows became too big, and long term cultural assimilation could no longer be assumed, strict controls were introduced.

Slave owning America was a utopia for migrants. Or just the brief period before Ellis island. Went smoothly as well?

The utopia without papers, so they weren’t fascists, I suppose, did have a distinct voting population which ran the country an enforced the laws, particularly regarding naturalization, as they saw fit.

Yes. Old America. Jefferson and co had some issues with random people already in America during the founding become US citizens. It’s true that non citizens weren’t thrown out of the country by ICE, but there were several wars, like with Mexico and the Spanish Empire, native Americans.

That would be unacceptable. A quick search finds a few cases involving “assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers.”

No. The old America without papers relied very heavily on immigration controls and the native born population was easily identified as such. The question of illegality was a minor issue before the 20th century. At some point Ellis Island was built

Non-citizens can only get real id if they are legal. Seems most people carry drivers licenses in the US.

Those random civilians had slaves at that time. At least they didn’t have to carry id. More broadly speaking, I believe the world you long for disappeared around 2001.

If I lived in an area where these operations were taking place I’d carry my passport. And it’s an attitude that should change. “Can I see some id” is a rather common question in the US for anyone. Buying alcohol even.
