Abstract | Originally, Congress approved only "qualitative" restrictions on immigration ensuring the good health and character of aliens entering the country. When the country moved from an agricultural to an industrialized society, Congress enacted "quantitative" restrictions to protect the nation's economy by limiting the number of aliens. Past and present immigration laws are summarized. (NQ) |
