Nativist anti-immigrant legislation was similar to Jim Crow laws targetting non-white populations.
Explanation:
The cartoon in the picture is a very witty take on Nativist anti-immigrant laws that were enacted in the United States after WWI.
The reason is that it compares one of its measures: literacy tests, with Jim Crow laws, which also included literacy tests for people in order to be able to vote, a measure that targeted black people and poor white people, who at the time had very low literacy levels. This policy was designed to effectively keep black and poor white people from voting, a phenomenon that is known as disenfranchisement.

The original purpose of the colony, according to Oglethorpe's plan, was as a penal colony for the settlement of people in prison becacuse of debts. The first prisoners arrived on February 12, 1733, a day that is still celebrated as Georgia Day. But the main geopolitical importance, that convinced the king to approve its creation, was that it would serve as a barrier for Spanish coming from Florida to reach the Carolinas, which were important crop producers for Britain.
