My, how times change!

A little historical irony.
From the Declaration of Independence:
"He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands."

The "He" is, of course, King George III... and he is here chided for restricting immigration and making it more difficult to Naturalize Foreigners!
