Answer 1

Answer:

In 1894, the Immigration Restriction League, c. proposed screening immigrants to allow only the "desirable" ones to enter.

The League introduced a bill to the Congress to increase the restriction of immigration by means of a numerical limitation, called "An Act to regulate the immigration of aliens to, and the residence in, the United States,"The aim was to reduce as much as possible the number of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, while at the same time increasing the number of immigrants from Northern and Western Europe whom the League considered to be people of shared values.
