Literature reviewLegislating immigrationThe restriction took place on the 19th and the 20th centuries, and after the end of WW1, the government changed the immigration policy of the country. The act of National Origins in 1921 did not only impose a restriction on the numerous of immigrants who were trying to enter the USbut, the slots were also assigned in accordance to the quota depending on the origins of the nationals. The complicated aspect of legislation provided the preference to the immigrants from western, and the northern Europe and the numbers were restricted. Furthermore, the Asian immigrants were not worthy in order to enter the US. Moreover, the western hemisphere was excluded from the system of quota under the legislation1. The immigrants were supposed to move freely from the Caribbean, Mexico and the various other parts of the south and the central America.1Alba, Richard, and Victor Nee.Remaking the American mainstream
