Sold how, and at which time, specifically?

In 1882, when the first immigration law specifically called out Chinese people for exclusion?

Or today, when the internationally agreed upon framework for asylum is actively undermined by the current administration?

And what makes these sales just, fair, or even productive?

The current immigration system in the US dates to 1965. There has been a massive demographic shift in the US since then. The politicians at the time said there wouldn't be.
