This website has many political cartoons describing what immigrants were put through as they entered the country. In one of the cartoons Uncle Sam was contemplating whether he was Americanizing the new immigrants or if they were Europeanizing him. Also multiple drawings were describing how the U.S. government wasn't able to stop every immigrant from entering the country because they didn't have enough man power/resources which led to more and more immigrants getting into the country which led to more jobs being taken from the American people. These cartoons are all good examples of the Anti-Immigration laws that the United States enforced

In the 1920's America started to put in place immigration laws. Americans were afraid of people coming over and taking our jobs and that is why we started to put these laws in place. The topic is Anti-Immigration laws that started in the 1920's in America. These laws were put in place limiting the amount of people that were aloud in to the country. The immigration Act of 1924 limited the amount of immigrants aloud from each country to two percent living in the united states.In addition, it severely restricted the immigration of Africans and outright banned the immigration of Arabs and Asians. Which was coming down from 3 percent in 1921. These laws came in because american women were starting to make progress and americans were afraid that immigrants and women would take all the jobs.ccording to the U.S. Department of State Office of Historian the purpose of the act was "to preserve the ideal of American homogeneity". But though the Act aimed at preserving American racial homogeneity, it set no limits on immigration from Latin Americans countries.Congressional opposition was minimal.

Anti-Immigration had a huge affect and did change society for a period of time in the 1920s and many years after that. At first Americans were fairly okay with having people from different countries to travel and want to live in the U.S.. Then once there were too many immigrants coming into the U.S., many Americans were no longer okay with so many immigrants coming in because they were taking there jobs and all there ways of making money. Soon Americans started to refuse so many immigrants coming into the country from the problems they were having. Immigrants had many ways of entering the country, but it was mainly from boats, also there was many routes they could take so they wouldn't be stopped from entering the country. The prohibition act made tensions increase with the immigrants coming in, because many American men were angry there alcohol was taken away and banned, plus immigrants were taking the Americans jobs, leading to many riots breaking out and many lives being lost. This influenced immigrants to try even harder to fight for there freedom in this country because of the anti-immigration laws

Each of these streams of immigration as well as refugee inflows has spawned secondary waves of immigration as family members followed. By 2000, there were over 30 million foreign-born persons in the United States, of whom almost one third arrived in the prior decade.

My first primary source is a map showing the main areas of where immigrants moved from other countries Into the United States. There were many different routes that European immigrants took to get into the U.S.. As more and more people migrated to the United States, the U.S. began to get more and more strict with who and how many immigrants could enter their country. U.S. Americans began to get angry with all the immigrants taking their jobs and there opportunities to make money.

This website is a very good source to learn about the 1920s and how Anti-Immigration had a huge affect on America. Not only did this talk about Anti-Immigration but it gave some background information on the jazz age and how prohibition affected Americans across the country from there loss of alcohol. This website is very insightful to the reader and is really reliable because this information comes from history.com.

Introduction

The Immigration Act of 1924 limited the number of immigrants allowed entry into the United States through a national origins quota. The quota provided immigration visas to two percent of the total number of people of each nationality in the United States as of the 1890 national census. It completely excluded immigrants from Asia.

Literacy Tests and "Asiatic Barred Zone"

In 1917, the U.S. Congress enacted the first widely restrictive immigration law. The uncertainty generated over national security during World War I made it possible for Congress to pass this legislation, and it included several important provisions that paved the way for the 1924 Act. The 1917 Act implemented a literacy test that required immigrants over 16 years old to demonstrate basic reading comprehension in any language. It also increased the tax paid by new immigrants upon arrival and allowed immigration officials to exercise more discretion in making decisions over whom to exclude. Finally, the Act excluded from entry anyone born in a geographically defined "Asiatic Barred Zone" except for Japanese and Filipinos. In 1907, the Japanese Government had voluntarily limited Japanese immigration to the United States in the Gentlemen's Agreement. The Philippines was a U.S. colony, so its citizens were U.S. nationals and could travel freely to the United States. China was not included in the Barred Zone, but the Chinese were already denied immigration visas under the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Immigration Quotas

The literacy test alone was not enough to prevent most potential immigrants from entering, so members of Congress sought a new way to restrict immigration in the 1920s. Immigration expert and Republican Senator from Vermont William P. Dillingham introduced a measure to create immigration quotas, which he set at three percent of the total population of the foreign-born of each nationality in the United States as recorded in the 1910 census. This put the total number of visas available each year to new immigrants at 350,000. It did not, however, establish quotas of any kind for residents of the Western Hemisphere. President Wilson opposed the restrictive act, preferring a more liberal immigration policy, so he used the pocket veto to prevent its passage. In early 1921, the newly inaugurated President Warren Harding called Congress back to a special session to pass the law. In 1922, the act was renewed for another two years.

Senator William P. Dillingham

When the congressional debate over immigration began in 1924, the quota system was so well-established that no one questioned whether to maintain it, but rather discussed how to adjust it. Though there were advocates for raising quotas and allowing more people to enter, the champions of restriction triumphed. They created a plan that lowered the existing quota from three to two percent of the foreign-born population. They also pushed back the year on which quota calculations were based from 1910 to 1890.

Another change to the quota altered the basis of the quota calculations. The quota had been based on the number of people born outside of the United States, or the number of immigrants in the United States. The new law traced the origins of the whole of the U.S. population, including natural-born citizens. The new quota calculations included large numbers of people of British descent whose families had long resided in the United States. As a result, the percentage of visas available to individuals from the British Isles and Western Europe increased, but newer immigration from other areas like Southern and Eastern Europe was limited.

The 1924 Immigration Act also included a provision excluding from entry any alien who by virtue of race or nationality was ineligible for citizenship. Existing nationality laws dating from 1790 and 1870 excluded people of Asian lineage from naturalizing. As a result, the 1924 Act meant that even Asians not previously prevented from immigrating - the Japanese in particular - would no longer be admitted to the United States. Many in Japan were very offended by the new law, which was a violation of the Gentlemen's Agreement. The Japanese government protested, but the law remained, resulting in an increase in existing tensions between the two nations. Despite the increased tensions, it appeared that the U.S. Congress had decided that preserving the racial composition of the country was more important than promoting good ties with Japan.

The restrictive principles of the Act could have resulted in strained relations with some European countries as well, but these potential problems did not appear for several reasons. The global depression of the 1930s, World War II, and stricter enforcement of U.S. immigration policy served to curtail European emigration. When these crises had passed, emergency provisions for the resettlement of displaced persons in 1948 and 1950 helped the United States avoid conflict over its new immigration laws.

In all of its parts, the most basic purpose of the 1924 Immigration Act was to preserve the ideal of U.S. homogeneity. Congress revised the Act in 1952.
