There was the Chines Expulsion Act..

Anyway the era of mass migrations is coming to an end, not may places left to go to. too many people.

Imagine you are a US citizen, with a US citizen wife, wanting to immigrate to the UK.

Which route would you take? Which visa would you qualify for?

Boo hoo... poor you! You don't qualify for a visa... get over it. The problem here isn't the US or its rules and regulations. The problem is that you can't accept reality and wish to change it into something that fits into your fantasy of how things should be.

You're an adult... it's time for you to face reality.
