Yes. U.S. Immigration law severely restricted the number of people who could settle in the U.S. from foreign countries. The number of immigrants born in Germany who were allowed to enter the U.S. in any one year was fixed at just under 27,000. Given that about 520,000 German citizens were classified as 'full Jews' by the Nazis, this was a drop in the ocean. Please bear in mind that in addition to 'full' German Jews, there were also political refugees who were not Jewish. The U.S. immigration laws were designed to deal with 'ordinary immigration', not with large numbers fleeing from persecution.
