In the 1920s, the United States implemented strict Immigration policies that reflected nativist sentiments and a desire to limit the influx of immigrants from certain countries. The Immigration Act of 1924 established quotas that favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while severely restricting those from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as Asia. This period marked a significant shift toward isolationism and xenophobia, leading to a decline in immigration rates and a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment.
