The United States began a program of restrictive immigration during the 1920s. True or False?

True. That policy lasted until 1965.





That was when the last restrictive policy was established, several aspects of which had been in place before. Chinese immigration was restricted in the 1880s. Japanese were restricted in 1905. Most colonial peoples were not allowed to immigrate in any event, so there was effective restrictions upon leaving one's country of origin, regardless of US policy.





Those who supported the policy preferred to call it a preferred selection of immigrants--to match the historic patterns of European immigration to the US.
