Talk:List of United States immigration legislation

Untitled
Once again this is only about U.S. Immigration law, something that is not clear from the name. Also the page History of US immigration should redirect here.

Here is an external reference to text of the Page act of 1875

 * The terms "immigration" and "naturalization" aren't synonyms. The entries in the article include both. I suggest that you edit the article or edit the article title. Thanks, Wordreader (talk) 08:35, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Operation Wetback
Suggest this entry be removed: Operation Wetback is not U.S. Immigration Legislation.
 * Archivist911, you are quite right. A government action is not a law.
 * The remarks in the current text are not consistent with one another. If Mexicans were banned for the first time in 1965, it
 * is not clear to me how they could be illegal in 1954. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.71.78 (talk) 16:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

1882
The American laws of 1790, 1795 and 1798 all referred explicitly to race. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.249.165 (talk) 13:11, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Why has this not been merged?
I notice there is a suggestion to merge this with this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_immigration_laws, which I agree with. I am a new user so I don't know how to merge, but I suspect that even if I did, I wouldn't have the privileges to do so. Why hasn't this article been merged? Can someone please provide guidance?
