Nativism, term used to refer the policy of promoting the interests of native inhabitants against those of immigrants, and the called quota laws in 1920s <em>were caused mostly by the uncertainty generated over national security during World War I,</em> which made it possible for Congress to pass the first widely restrictive immigration law in 1917 that included several important provisions that paved the way for the 1924 Act.
The 1917 Act implemented a literacy test that required immigrants over 16 years old to demonstrate basic reading comprehension in any language. However, the literacy test described above was considered not enough to prevent most potential immigrants from entering, therefore members of Congress sought a new way to restrict immigration in the 1920s. In this sense, immigration expert and Republican Senator William P. Dillingham introduced a measure to create immigration quotas. He set the percent of the total population of the foreign-born of each nationality in the United States basing on in the 1910 census.
In this way, it was limited the number of immigrants allowed to entry into the United States through a national origins quota. This put the total number of visas available each year to new immigrants at 350,000, excluding completely immigrants from Asia.

Nigeria had much division between tribal/ethnic groups vying with one another for power, and thus were not working together for a united purpose. Nigeria's wealth of natural resources also gave them much to be fighting over as the groups each sought advantage.
Botswana, on the other hand, was one of the poorest countries in the world when it gained its independence from Britain in 1966, and it avoided infighting and political corruption like that seen in Nigeria. They have been a multi-party democracy since that time -- the longest-running multi-party democracy on the African continent. Botswana enjoyed significant economic growth also as it worked together politically.
