Varying immigrant experiences

Immigration declines During & after WWI

Immigration act of 1917 The immigration act of 1917 was also known as the Asiatic Barred Zone Act This was denying immigrants from all part of Asia and this includes all undesirables such as the sick, disabilities, or "idiots." The United States also taxed these immigrants $8 per person

Emergency quota act of 1921 The emergency quota act of 1917 was another act that forced immigrants from all over pay a tariff. Depending on where the immigrant was born, they needed to pay 3% (according to the 1910) of the number of people of their nationality.

National origins immigration act of 1924 The National Origins Immigration act of 1924 was very similar to the Emergency Quota Act, but instead of 3%, this act only required a 2% fee on the number of your nationality already in America.

Deportation & Immigration from Mexico

Great Depression era deportations Mexicans were seen as threats as they were taking all American jobs. The States deported one million + Mexicans back to Mexico. It is believed that Americans with Mexican decent were deported as well.

WWII braceros program Braceros means manual labor in Spanish This program allowed Mexicans to make agreements with us to work here during World War II. Many growers argued that the war would bring labor shortages to low paying jobs, and the States needed more workers.

Postwar Optimism

The end to the acts

Immigration act of 1965 This Act abolished the quotas based on nationality laws. This allowed families to reunite. It also attracted skilled workers to America. People of Asia and Latin America were increasingly immigrating to the United States due to the new legislation. Refugees from the Southeast Asia came to the United States.
