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.

Why did the United States take military action against the Taliban?
Nesterboy [21]
The United States took military action against the Taliban due to the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 by al Qaeda. Osama bin Laden was determined to have had connections to the movement (however tenuous or extremist they may have been) and the movement itself oftentimes encouraged hostilities against Western states due to their century-long period of interference in Middle Eastern affairs.
