History

Historical Context

President Calvin Coolidge signed the Johnson-Reed Immigration Act on May 24, 1924, banning Asian immigration and capping each nationality at 2 % of its 1890-census population, a ceiling of 165,000 yearly. The act created the Border Patrol and a consular visa system, shaping demographics for three decades. The National Security Strategy invokes the precedent while warning that unchecked migration from Islamic countries could erode Europe’s Judeo-Christian identity.
