The right answer is A: Governmental laws, supported by Nativists, limited the number of immigrants coming into the US. This political cartoon, which appeared in <em>The Literary Digest</em> in 1921, shows a funnel extended across the Atlantic Ocean, with its wide opening in the European side, overflowed with emigrants, and its small opening in the American side, where Uncle Sam, holding a tag that reads "gate" with a "3%" tag attached to it, is allowing just a few of them to enter the country. The imagery, as well as the title of the cartoon ("The Only Way to Handle It"), are a direct reference to the Emergency Quota Act of 1921, which limited the annual number of immigrants admitted into the United States from any country to 3% of the number of residents from those countries that were already living in the U.S. as per the census of 1910.
