More Cartoons

Nativism Nativism – the favoring of natural-born citizens over immigrants. What is ironic about the “native-born” in this picture?

Once the New Immigrants arrived Political Machines helped get them started. Many lived in ethnic communities and in tenements. Increase in mandatory schooling for Assimilation. Settlement Houses helped many of the immigrants. Immigration Restriction League started in 1887 and called for quotas.

Relationship with Unions Although many immigrants would join unions, union leaders such as Samuel Gompers were opposed to more immigration. Why would the union leaders oppose more immigrants?

Backlash against New Immigrants Anti-Immigrant sentiment increased in the early 1900s. Groups such as the American Legion and renewed KKK were against more immigration. Dillingham Report (1911) – basically blamed most American problems on Immigrants. After WWI, the Red Scare contributed to call for quotas. Emergency Quota Act 1921 and National Origins Act 1924 would put quotas on the number immigrants entering the United States.

Immigrants’ problems (Any time period) What are the barriers that immigrants faced (or currently face)? Language Poverty Religion Cultural Nativism
