it was only into the 1920's or so that the entire concept of legal and illegal immigration started. In the 19th century there were only immigrants. I remember hearing of my great grandfather who initially immigrated to the US then moved to Manitoba, then back to what is now North Dakota, and then back again. No one checked his immigration status on either side of the border.
