Thursday, October 9, 1930 Even American Colonies Erected Barriers Against Aliens Interesting Facts IMMIGRATION LIMIT IS NOT RECENT MOVE A great many people think that the move to restrict immigration to the United States is of recent origin. . As a matter of fact the sentiment for such measures is as old as the govâ€" ernment itself, and in fact older, For the colonists, while still under the sway of the mother country, had barâ€" riers to immigration, and some of the regulations were decidedly strict. In an interesting article in the current issue of the National Republic under the title "Early Barriers to Aliens," G, L, Waddell says: "Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing new about immigration reâ€" strictions, Seventeenth century Amerâ€" ica, with the exception of Pennsylâ€" vania, definitely repudiated the ‘open door‘ policy. 4 Â¥e Not Question of Numbers "It was not a question of numbers or quotas. This side of the Atlantic was so thinly settled that our foreâ€" fathers saw no danger from congesâ€" tion. They simply took the position that the original settlers had the right to say who should and who should not follow them. As there was no cenâ€" tralized government, restrictions difâ€" fered in the various colonies, but all of them made exclusions more arbiâ€" trary than do our muchâ€"abused modâ€" ern national immigration laws. "Followers of unpopular religions were the victims of harsh legislation in nearly all of the colonies. Catholies could be sure of a welcome only in Maryland and Quakers were received cordially only in William Penn‘s provâ€" ince. Jews also were widely discrimâ€" inated against. Hard to Get In "Getting into New England was as difficult as crashing the gates of an exclusive club. Connecticut passed a law in 1644 providing that no person should be allowed to take up residence there unless he had obtained a ‘liâ€" cense‘ from a local magistrate. An act of 1660 put the power of blackâ€" ball into the hands of private citizens by decreeing that no one be accepted as an inhabitant who was not ‘acceptâ€" able to the majority of the townsmen.‘ In 1667 a formal complaint was regâ€" istered ‘that divers persons had thrust themselves into several towns much to the disturbance and: distrust of the better portion of the citizens.‘ These persons were warned to leave and each should forfeit 20 shillings every week until he took his departâ€" ure. (Inhabitants could not entertain ‘strangers,‘ that is, outâ€"ofâ€"town guests, for more than three weeks at a time. Quakers were forbidden entrance to the .province. 4 "Massachusetts in 1641 excluded negro slaves. Those already within the colony were to be returned: to their place or origin. There was to be ‘no bond slavery unless it be lawâ€" ful captives taken in just wars and such strangers as willingly sell themâ€" selves or are sold to us.‘ This last referred to white servants bound over to masters for a period of years after which they were to have their freeâ€" dom. In 1647 Massachusetts excluded Catholics, giving as a reason a then current belief that Jesuits had stirred up political unrest in Europe and were plotting ‘the engaging of the Indians to subdue New England.‘ "Rhode Island, in 1700, exacted a 50 pound bond of all immigrants comâ€" ing from any countries other than ‘Great Britain, Ireland, Jersey and Guernsey.‘ This bond was held as a guarantee that the immigrant would not become a public charge."
