1 фев 1923 г. - Immigration Act 1917
Описание:
It implemented a literacy test that required immigrants over 16 years old to demonstrate basic reading comprehension in any language. It also increased the tax paid by new immigrants upon arrival and allowed immigration officials to exercise more discretion in making decisions over whom to exclude. Finally, the Act excluded from entry anyone born in a geographically defined “Asiatic Barred Zone” except for Japanese and Filipinos. Chinese were already denied immigration visas under the Chinese Exclusion Act.Добавлено на ленту времени:
