Introduction
Attitudes toward the new immigration during the late 1800s and early 1900s were strong and varied. Some families and communities welcomed the new immigrants with open arms and helped immigrants get settled, while other groups such as the Immigration Restriction League—founded in 1894 by three Harvard graduates—formed to limit or curtail immigration.

“The objects of this League shall be to advocate and work for the further judicious restriction or stricter regulation of immigration, to issue documents and circulars, solicit facts and information on that subject, hold public meetings, and to arouse public opinion to the necessity of a further exclusion of elements undesirable for citizenship or injurious to our national character. It is not an object of this League to advocate the exclusion of laborers or other immigrants of such character and standards as fit them to become citizens.”
