Restricting Immigration Nativists fear communism, socialism from E. Europe Emergency Quota Act (1921) + Immigration Act of 1924 = quota system # per year can’t be more than 2% # of ppl living in US in 1890 (BEFORE great wave from S/E Europe) Still permitted about 65,000 from England + Northern Ireland every year But allowed only about 6,000 Italians. Excluded most Asian immigrants Did not apply to Mexican immigrants, so many more Mexicans come north and often settle in sparsely populated regions of SW. Most found work harvesting crops in TX/CA, some found jobs in factories or farms of North or Midwest Many faced discrimination and hostility. Competed with native-born Americans for jobs and were frequently subject to brutality + violence
