controlling migration

Today in Human Geo, we talked about the topic of controlling migration. Over the decades, countries have taken over the policies of selective immigration. They did this because more people want to enter the US than what is allowed by the quota. This means that countries allow people with specific employment placement and family reunions into their country more easily than letting just anyone in. In the United States, the Quota Act was passed in 1921 and the National Origins Act was passed in 1924. This marked the end of unrestricted immigration in the US. A problem that the US has faced because of these restrictions has been many unauthorized immigrants entering the United States by crossing the border without proper documentations.
