History

Historical Context

The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, drastically reduced immigration from non-Western European countries by establishing strict quotas, particularly affecting Italians and Poles. This legislation reflected the nativist sentiments of the time and set a precedent for future immigration policies, including recent proposals by political leaders that echo these historical restrictions, intensifying ongoing debates about national security and immigration.
