Question 4 • CA-Ethnic Studies

In the early 1900s, which group did not face immigration restrictions in the United States?

Answer
A
Northern and Western European immigrants
B
Southern and Eastern European immigrants
C
Asian immigrants from the Pacific Islands
D
Asian immigrants from the Middle East

Explanation

Early 20th-century U.S. laws increasingly restricted immigration from Asia and placed new limits on immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. Northern and Western Europeans were generally not targeted by those restrictions and were often favored by immigration policies of the period. Therefore, Northern and Western European immigrants are the correct choice.
