Still reading. Check out her book.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZTSK11Q/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 …
As you can tell, I like U.S. immigration policy histories. "Impossible Subjects" by Mae Ngai is also great. https://www.amazon.com/Impossible-Subjects-Illegal-America-Politics-ebook/dp/B00HKMUY5C/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=mae+ngai&qid=1590443102&s=digital-text&sr=1-2 …
And so is "The Guarded Gate," which is almost like a prequel to Yang's book about the run-up to the 1924 immigration law and its roots in eugenics and race science. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MKDJP4Z/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 …

This USCIS propaganda piece (PDF) whitewashes the fact that Asians were excluded from its application, which came to be known only after veterans served in the war. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/History%20and%20Genealogy/Our%20History/WWI/WWI_18x24_USCIS.pdf …
