Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Second Wave of immigrants, which occurred between 1871 and 1920, were not considered the most desirable as they were predominantly from Southern and Eastern Europe, and were seen as culturally and racially inferior to the previous immigrants from Western and Northern Europe. This led to the implementation of strict immigration policies, such as quotas and literacy tests, to limit the number of these "undesirable" immigrants.
