The reason there was a decrease in immigration from 1911 - 1930 was because of<em> A.</em><em> Increased restrictions</em><em> on </em><em>immigration </em><em>by the </em><em>Federal Government</em>
From the period before the First World War began up till 1930, some Americans began to call for a limit to immigration.
The <u>federal government responded by limiting immigration</u> through ways like:
the Quota system - only a certain number of people were allowed in from certain countries annually
literacy tests - immigrants had to pass literacy tests to be allowed into the country
This led to a decrease in the number of people being allowed into the U.S. and so led to a decrease in immigration.
We can therefore conclude that the efforts of the Federal government were the reason the immigration rates of those years decreased.
