# Social Security and the Great Society programs also didn't exist when...

*December 16, 2023 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Eva Schweitzer's comment.*

Social Security and the Great Society programs also didn't exist when the US passed the Immigration Act of 1924: https://history.state.gov/milestones/1921-1936/immigration-act These immigration restrictions made it impossible for significant numbers of Jews to immigrate from Germany during the Holocaust: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/us-government-turned-away-thousands-jewish-refugees-fearing-they-were-nazi-spies-180957324 Good thing we kept the Jews out right?  What have they ever done for the US?
