'''3. Which of the approaches in American history towards immigration do you like best, and why?'''

   

   

I like the approach used from 1905 through 1914. There were no limits set regarding how many people could immigrate from a particular nation. I appreciate this because I believe that legislation that limits immigration by country of origin is often the result of prejudice and irrational fear or hate. An example of how this can hurt our nation and good, hard-working people can be found in the life of my great-grandfather. He emigrated from Italy during this time period (in 1912), and later willingly served America in its fight against the nation of his origin during World War I. In 1924, due to the American people’s mistrust of Italians, the United States implemented legislation that severely reduced immigration from Italy and thus inhibited the immigration of other potential upstanding citizens like my great-grandfather. I the approach used from 1905 through 1914 better than the one used today because it encouraged legal immigration, unlike the approach today does.
