26 maio 1924 ano - National Origins Act
Descrição:
The National Origins Act, passed in 1924, was a United States federal law that further restricted immigration by establishing a system of national quotas that blatantly discriminated against immigrants from southern and eastern Europe and virtually excluded Asians. The quotas were based on a percentage of each nationality that had been living in the United States as of the 1890 census, favoring immigrants from northern and western Europe, reflecting the era's nativist and xenophobic sentiments.
