The Immigration Act of 1924 later made these quotas more strict on ethnic groups throughout the U.S.

This included the right to vote, as many states prevented Native people from voting.

Evidence: This cartoon includes the words "The Polls" and the image provided shows Native American people voting.]]> 2021-09-03 17:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sbbelben/hqk4tvirlw39vp0q/wish/1715750879 sbbelben https://padlet.com/sbbelben/hqk4tvirlw39vp0q/wish/1715780967 The United States was founded off of the idea that every immigrant would receive opportunity. The term "The Melting Pot" originated from the description of the diverse American culture through its many nationalities of Asian, European, and African.
Evidence: The given cartoon represents each nationality through words such as "European," "Latino," "Jewish," etc through soup ingredient labels.]]> 2021-09-03 17:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sbbelben/hqk4tvirlw39vp0q/wish/1715780967 sbbelben https://padlet.com/sbbelben/hqk4tvirlw39vp0q/wish/1715792910 The Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 stated that if a Cuban migrant were to be apprehended between the two countries in the water, then they would be considered to have "wet feet." This meant they would be sent back home to Cuba. However, if they made it onto U.S. soil, they would qualify for permanent American citizenship, labeled as "dry feet."

Evidence: Labels shown in this cartoon include "Out of Service," showing that the Cuban man is unable to enter the United States, and images include the water and land, symbolizing the wet and dry feet policies. ]]> 2021-09-03 17:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sbbelben/hqk4tvirlw39vp0q/wish/1715792910 sbbelben https://padlet.com/sbbelben/hqk4tvirlw39vp0q/wish/1715801841 The Immigration Act of 1917 imposed a restriction of a literacy test mandatory for all immigrants, in hopes to reduce European immigration to the United States.
