In the 1920s, xenophobia in the United States manifested prominently through restrictive Immigration laws, such as the Immigration Act of 1924, which severely limited the number of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as prohibiting immigration from Asia. This period also saw a rise in nativist sentiments and the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, which targeted not only African Americans but also immigrants and Catholics. The widespread fear of the "other" led to social and political movements that sought to preserve a perceived American identity, often at the expense of diversity and inclusion.
One significant result of xenophobia in the 1920s was the implementation of the Immigration Act of 1924, which severely restricted immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as from Asia. This legislation was widely criticized for its discriminatory quotas and racist underpinnings, reflecting the nativist sentiments prevalent at the time. The act effectively favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, reinforcing social divisions and xenophobic attitudes in American society. Critics argued that it undermined the nation's foundational ideals of inclusivity and diversity.
