We also refused Irish during the Potato Famine. This time it was because they weren't "healthy" - aka, no damn Mics.
After a campaign of anti-Irish sentiment, the Italians came here. We have a racial slur for them - fops. They were turned out en masse.
We denied the Jews coming here in '36. Didn't like Jewish - they kill and eat children! (Yes, this is in the US National Holocaust Museum as example of propaganda.)
We denied the Jews again in '46, AFTER knowing the atrocities they suffered in Europe. You know, those damned Jews.
In the 50's, we laid heavily into the Slavic and Baltic countries... Those damned Commies. Oh you were leaving because of humanitarian crisis? LIAR.
That's just a few examples. This whole Muslim ban has been done before with nations, politics, and religion (Irish, Communist/Socialist, Jewish respectively). Most populist "leaders" will garner support by singling one group out and attacking. Just like Hitler did, and following in the footsteps, Trump.
Oh please. You don't know your history then.
