Nah. The US had open borders in the 1800s. They want to freeze time in the 50s before the civil rights movement, sexual revolution, and women’s lib - back when everyone had a healthy mistrust of foreigners.
^This. In the 1950s less than 15% of all Americans belonged to a nonwhite minority group. By the 2010 Census, over 36% did. In that little data tidbit lies a good deal of the divisiveness and anger and resurgent nationalism and isolationism and xenophobia of today's America. And that's without mentioning all of the cultural and social changes and the sexual revolution.
