The US Government forced immigrants from Europe ( Russia, Italy, Poland, Latvia, Greece,etc.) to legally register to enter the country at Ellis Island. The US took such draconian measures such as checking for diseases and any criminal activity in the country from which they came. Many were deported as a result. Is this an indicator that the US was prejudiced and racist against Europeans such as it is claimed the present US policy is racist.

They sure were! They were worse toward Asians! I don't understand the last sentence of your question, though.

I think you miss the point of Yahoo! Answers. You are supposed to come here to ask a question that you want answers to. You basically just answered your own question. If you wanted to blog, then just blog! Otherwise, you come here and sound like a total idiot.

Yes it was, and the USA was also heavily prejudiced against the Irish. "Irish need not apply"
