it was iafsaf
The basis of the White Australia policy was the immigration restriction act of 1901
go look at wikipedia hahahhahaha
Enacted in 1924...you probably know why. Southern and Eastern Europeans, including Jews, were coming in droves -- my grandparents included as well as my son's father's grandparents. Hoped to stem the tide and keep America more homogeneous.
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.

I'm pretty sure the proper name of the main document is the Immigration Restriction Act 1901. That's what I was told in history class, so I'm assuming it to be true. Hope this helps :)
In 1901, the federal government passed an Act that was designed to end the employment of Pacific Islanders. Known as The Immigration Restriction Act 1901. This law received royal assent on 23 December 1901 and was described as an Act 'to place certain restrictions on immigration and to provide for the removal from the Commonwealth of prohibited immigrants'.It prohibited entry to immigrants that were considered to be insane, or likely to become a charge upon the public or upon any public or charitable institution, as well as any person suffering from an infectious or contagious disease 'of a loathsome or dangerous character'.Prostitutes, criminals, and anyone under a contract or agreement to perform manual labour within Australia (with some limited exceptions) were also excluded.Restrictions included a dictation test, used to exclude certain applicants by requiring them to pass a written test in a language, with which they were not necessarily familiar, nominated by an immigration officer.In 1919 the Prime Minister, William Morris Hughes, hailed it as 'the greatest thing we have achieved'. These restriction were not finaly completely lifted until the early 1970'S.
In the 1920s, the U.S. implemented several key acts to limit immigration, including the Immigration Act of 1921, which established numerical limits on immigration based on national origins. This was followed by the Immigration Act of 1924, which further restricted immigration by introducing a quota system favoring Northern and Western Europeans. The Asian Exclusion Act of 1924 specifically barred immigration from Asia, while the Johnson-Reed Act reinforced these quotas, solidifying racial and ethnic restrictions on immigration during that era.
The U.S. government passed its first significant restriction on immigration with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This legislation specifically targeted Chinese immigrants, prohibiting their entry into the United States in response to economic and social tensions. The act reflected widespread anti-Chinese sentiment and marked a significant shift towards more restrictive immigration policies based on nationality and race.
The Anti-Coolie Act, also known as the Chinese Immigration Act, was passed in the United States in 1882. It specifically targeted Chinese immigrants and imposed significant restrictions on their entry and citizenship eligibility. The act marked the first major restriction on immigration based on nationality in US history.
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.
