Thousands of Immigrants
FROM THE EYES OF AN IMMIGRANT
“Literacy tests, quota systems isn’t it bad
enough that only 2% percent of my people are
allowed into a country where FREEDOM was
our only dream”, says an anonymous
immigrant

THE VOICE OF
THE CITIZENS
A local citizen came forward and told us that
he/she was glad that the limit for immigration
was lowered to 2%. Before this this said person
was feeling like a minority in their own country.
At least someone is having their voices heard.
It was said to be the most
discriminatory act passed
in 1924. Not allowing
m o re t h a n 2 % o f
immigrants in from the
same country.
