The old I got mine and I don't want to share? I wonder what

ancestors have said if they were told .. Sorry not now, we don't want
to share? Where would you be today?

Actually that is what happened. There has almost always been quotas
and lines. It took my great-great grandfather almost five years to get
the okay to come over. I would be the same place because my GGF obeyed
the law at the time.
If I really did not want to share, I would be suggesting that the
quotas be lowered to nothin', which I am not.

So quotas end up keeping those who obey the law out.
