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.

When did Australia get a policy of immigration?

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.

How did new laws change US immigration policy in the 1920's?

The new laws in the 1920s significantly changed US immigration policy by introducing quotas and restrictions. The Immigration Act of 1921 established the first-ever numerical quotas for immigrants based on their nationality. The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, further restricted immigration by setting even stricter quotas based on the national origins of immigrants and completely banned immigration from certain regions, particularly Asia. These laws aimed to limit immigration and preserve the ethnic composition of the United States.
