WASHINGTON, D.C. — For the first time in American history, a formerly undocumented immigrant is serving in Congress. In fact, there are two.

Whether a historical coincidence or political fate, the same election that brought Donald Trump — the most nativist national political candidate since perhaps the “Know-Nothing” party ran Millard Fillmore in 1856 — to the White House also brought two formerly undocumented immigrants to the Capitol Building.

“Take that, Donald Trump!” Rep. Adriano Espaillat of New York told the Democratic National Convention last summer in a reference to his former undocumented status, a line he repeated with glee in person last week.

“I’m the first Dreamer ever elected to Congress,” Rep. Ruben Kihuen of Nevada added, a title he has recently embraced after Trump ended the DACA program protecting the 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought here as children from deportation.

White Americans should show us the papers and visas their ancestors used when coming to the USA, before calling others undocumented.

He isn't a dreamer. Family came to the USA in 1964 on a tourist visa then acquired green cards in 1965. Easier to do back most likely.
Very difficult to do today.

Why there was virtually no immigration laws until 1924 or so. That was when the first major legislation was passed.

those laws were made to suit Europeans traveling to America, And after those laws were made lots of whites still entered the US without papers, above all making immigration laws doesn't change the fact that white settlers entered the the US uninvited and stole Indian lands.

Because Europeans are using this type of twisted history on purpose to hide the fact that they are in fact the first illegal immigrants in what is now called America. They violated native tribes' immigration laws.
