Upon reading the article and answering the questions, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the transformative period in U.S. immigration policy during the 1920s, marked by the passage of the Quota Acts. They will delve into the historical context, uncovering the aftermath of World War I, the Red Scare, economic uncertainties, and societal changes that fueled anxieties about immigration. The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the Immigration Act of 1924, analyzed in detail, introduced a numerical quota system and shifted the reference year, reflecting a deliberate effort to reshape the demographic composition of the nation. Students will grasp the motivations behind these acts, including economic concerns, social anxieties about radical ideologies, and nativist sentiments. The discriminatory aspects of the quota system, particularly its impact on Asian immigration, will be explored, shedding light on the racially biased principles that characterized this era. Furthermore, the unintended consequences of the Quota Acts on the American economy, labor market, and the challenges faced by specific industries will be uncovered. The article emphasizes the lasting legacy of the Quota Acts, shaping U.S. immigration policy for decades and influencing debates on inclusivity, diversity, and equality. Students will also learn about the significance of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 in repealing the national origins quota system, marking a shift towards a more inclusive and equitable immigration policy. Overall, this study will equip students with a nuanced understanding of the historical, social, and economic factors that shaped immigration policy in the 1920s and its enduring impact on the nation.
