Q 1.) What was the purpose of the early and mid 20th century immigration quotas used by the United States, and what changes did the 1925 Immigration Act bring to populations seeking admission into the U.S.?2.) It is directly argued on the US Department of State, Office of the Historian website this week that, "In all of its parts, the most basic purpose of the 1924 Immigration Act was to preserve the ideal of U.S. homogeneity. Congress revised the Act in 1952." In this week's JSTOR and Historical Overview from the US Center on Immigration Studies that any significant influx of people (from all over the world) has traditionally been a contentious issue for many Americans. Using these three sources please analyze the struggle to preserve the "ideal of US homogeneity." What is the struggle, what are the risks to various parties involved in this argument, and what similarities and differences do we experience now, as we reflect on the JSTOR Daily argument that immigrants have always made "us" nervous?3. )Please break down the parts II and III of the Policy brief on the 1990 Immigration Act, into what you consider the most important changes and establishments. If you had to explain the differences between the 1925 Act and the 1990 one to a fellow academic, how would you describe the changes between the two as you reflect on the actual language of the acts, the historical time periods they occurred in, and more? How does Bishop's Afterword this week shed light on the impact of demographics and community thinking on our consideration of immigrant issues? Cite information regarding historical time periods you mention to augment your ethos
