While researching the Titanic I came across some interesting information.

White Star Line- Founded from the remains of a packet line. British owned it. Supposedly built ships in Belfast, Ireland. This is suspect because they built most ships in 1870. These were Titanic class ships.

They had first-class, called Saloon. And 3rd class-Steerage

Steerage passengers accounted for most of the passengers (1000). Not allowed on deck for the entire trip.

First class was about 150-200.

The RMS-Republic- Built for the International Mercantile Marine's DOMINION Line. (Sister Company of the White Star Line) The Dominion Line was owned by J.P. Morgan.

The HMS Oceanic was leased to the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Co. in 1875-1895. For 20 years it brought Chinese immigrants into San Francisco from Yokohama and Hong Kong. 1000 passengers per trip. It took 13 days per trip.

I couldn't find how many trips they made per year but at 1000 immigrants per trip that has to add up over 20 years.

Which leads into the Chinese Exclusion Act 1882 under Chester A. Arthur. Prohibited all but teachers, students, diplomats and tourists.

In 1902 and 1904 it was extended to severely limit Chinese immigration.

In 1943 Magnuson Act limited it to 105 annually.

Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952- McCarran–Walter Act both dems. Truman tried to veto it but was overruled by the House.

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, President George W. Bush implemented the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System and other border and immigration controls.

In January 2017, President Donald Trump's Executive Order 13769 made reference to the "Immigration and Nationality Act".[34]

National quotas

The McCarran-Walter Act abolished the "alien ineligible to citizenship" category from US immigration law, which in practice only applied to people of Asian descent. Quotas of 100 immigrants per country were established for Asian countries—however, people of Asian descent who were citizens of a non-Asian country also counted towards the quota of their ancestral Asian country.[14] Overall immigration from the "Asiatic barred zone" was capped at 2000 people annually.[15] Passage of the act was strongly lobbied for by the Chinese American Citizens Alliance, Japanese American Citizens League, Filipino Federation of America, and Korean National Association; though as an incremental measure, as those organizations wished to see national origins quotas abolished altogether.[16]

The McCarran-Walter Act allowed for people of Asian descent to immigrate and to become citizens, which had been banned by laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and Asian Exclusion Act of 1924. Chinese immigration, in particular, had been allowed for a decade prior to McCarran-Walter by the Magnuson Act of 1943, which was passed because of America's World War II alliance with China.[17] Japanese Americans and Korean Americans were first allowed to naturalize by the McCarran-Walter Act.[18] Overall changes in the perceptions of Asians were made possible by Cold War politics; the Displaced Persons Act of 1948 allowed anticommunist Chinese American students who feared returning to the Chinese Civil War to stay in the United States; and these provisions would be expanded by the Refugee Relief Act of 1953.[15]

A key provision, however, authorized the President to overrule those quotas.[8] Section 212(f),[19] states:

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.[8]

The 1952 Act was amended by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, to include a significant provision stating:

No person shall receive any preference or priority or be discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of the person's race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence.

Executive Order 13769, superseding Executive Order 13780 and Presidential Proclamation 9645, all of which were issued in 2017 under the authority of the Immigration and Nationality Acts and sought to impose a blanket restriction on entry into the United States of people from several nations, were challenged in court and parts were initially subject to various restraining orders. On June 26, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the president's authority to implement these restrictions in the case of Trump v. Hawaii
