Content: After World War I, Congress passed new anti-immigrant restrictions. Quotas for some countries were established and others were not allowed any immigrants to come over. But some immigrant groups did make some inroads into American society to the point where they began to proudly produce presidential candidates and other citizens. During World War II, the United States experienced another wave of racially-fueled hysteria following the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor that ultimately led to Japanese-American citizens being relocated to internment camps Under Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. This order was not exclusive to first-generation Japanese immigrants, but included second- and third-generation immigrants, many of whom had never been to Japan or even knew how to speak Japanese. However, their “otherness” led to a shameful period in American history stemming from the anti-immigrant sentiment that has always been present in the US. Source: Dialogue on Europe
Challenges Immigrants Face Now
Moving to a new country carries an extensive list of difficulties. Not only has securing a visa become very complicated, immigrants into the United States today face challenges that range from learning to speak the language to helping their children succeed in school. Finding good jobs and a place to live represent challenges on their own, and gaining a sense of belonging and understanding the culture and customs of the country represents further hardships for new immigrants that are looking to call this country home.
