In the decade after World War I, both organized labor and nativist groups favored the passage of laws that would restrict Immigration. Organized labor saw immigration as a threat to job opportunities and wages for American workers, while nativist groups were concerned about preserving a perceived American identity and culture. This convergence of interests led to the implementation of stricter immigration laws such as the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the Immigration Act of 1924.
