How did Immigration Restriction Act 1901 restrict immigration?

It was introduced into Australia because Australians wanted to keep Australia all white. This immigration restriction act would let the government have control of all the immigration to Australia. From the Immigration restriction act, a dictation test was developed to prevent non-whites into the country. This Dictation test was often 50 words from a scientific text book ( meaning that it would feature hard to spell scientific words). This passage that was dictated by the immigration officer was in any European language. If a immigrant somewhat passes, then the officer would give the test again in a different language until it would pass. The immigrants were usually pacific islanders & asians.


What was the clearest cause of immigration restriction resulting in passage of the Emergency Quota Act of 1921?

The clearest cause of immigration restriction leading to the passage of the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was the widespread nativist sentiment and fear of foreigners following World War I. Many Americans believed that immigrants posed economic competition and cultural threats, particularly from Southern and Eastern Europe. The act established quotas that limited immigration based on national origins, reflecting a desire to preserve the perceived homogeneity of American society. This legislation marked a significant shift towards restrictive immigration policies in the United States.
