Yes, in 1920, many immigrants to the United States were required to have a sponsor, often referred to as a "host" or "affidavit of support." This sponsor, typically a relative or friend already residing in the U.S., was responsible for providing financial support and ensuring that the immigrant would not become a public charge. However, the specific requirements could vary based on the immigrant's country of origin and other factors.
