4. After the war, “new” immigration pattern resumed, but based more on isolationist ideas. Emergency Quota Act of 1921: restricted immigration to 3% of nationality living in U.S. as of 1910 – relatively favorable to new immigrant groups such as Mexicans and Germans. Immigration How does this Act reflect isolationist views? Would the KKK support this Act? Why or why not? Is this Act morally acceptable to you? Why or why not? Whoa Elmer! What did you eat?
5. In 1921, the Act was replaced by Immigration Act of 1924: cut quota to 2%, and based it on 1890 population. Immigration Why would this change be made? Keep the number of immigrants low but maintain a U.S. culture dominated by Western/Northern Europeans. The Act also barred any Japanese immigration, but exempted Canadians & Latin Americans for work purposes. Why bar Japanese from entering the country? By 1931, more foreigners left U.S. than arrived. What other factors besides the Immigration Acts may account for this reversal in immigration/emigration.
6. Immigration The immigrant tide was now cut off, but those that were in America struggled to adapt. Immigrants continued to make up a large portion of the work force. What impact would you expect this to have on labor unions? Differences in race, culture, and nationality made it difficult for unions to organize, hurting membership.

In 1920-21, some 800,000 Europeans (mostly from the southeastern regions) came to the U.S.,
Demonstrating their political power, Klansmen triumphantly parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., on September 13, 1926, in full regalia.
The new Ku Klux Klan was anti-foreign, anti-Catholic, anti-black, anti-Jewish, anti-pacifist, anti-Communist, anti-internationalist, anti-revolutionist, anti-bootlegger, anti-gambling, anti-adultery, and anti-birth control.
