Immigration+(Natalie)

During the 1920's, the biggest thing to happen to immigration was the new quotas. The Quota Act of 1921 limited to number of immigrants from each country to 3% of those already in America as of 1910. This mostly affected the Southern and Eastern Europeans, because no limits were put on those from the western hemisphere. However, wives, children of citizens, educated professionals, and servants were not included in the quotas. In 1924, the quotas were then changed to 2% of those in America in 1890.

In 1924, Congress passed the Labor Appropreatioan Act, officially setting up the U.S. Border Patrol. The point of this was to have officers watch the border inbetween inspection stations. They have about 400 officers, who were paid $1,680 annually. In 1925, the U.S. Border Patrol's job was expanded to also securing the seacoast.
