genchat, 14 days ago A5 #genchat @genchat A few examples from last night: Jan - Quotas! See the Immigration Act of 1924. https://history.state.gov/milestones/1921-1936/immigration-act#:~:text=The%20Immigration%20Act%20of%201924%20limited%20the%20number%20of%20immigrants,of%20the%201890%20national%20census Chris - There was a quota put in place in the late 1920s by the US government that really hampered chain migration. Didn't stop some people... Me - I was also reading about the Chinese exclusion act & how they had to try to work around it. Probably should have saved the link
