Swiveler Devon provided a great snapshot of American history with immigration data from 1820 through 2005. Notice the decline in immigration from the depression (started 1929) through the end of World War II (ended 1945), followed by steady increases through 2005. —Grizzo

The decline in immigration in the 1920s began before the depression. It was initiated by Congress' passage of the Johnson-Reed Act (1924). It was in effect, virtually unchanged but for slight alterations in the early 1950s, until it was supplanted by the Hart-Celler Act in 1965.

It was this act that led to the longest term of unimpeded mass immigration in American history, the effects of which are what we deal with today.
