EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CARTOON: IMMIGRATION, 1921. The Only Way to Handle It" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically to the year 1921 when the temporary Immigration Act was implemented in the United States. This thought-provoking cartoon reflects on the effectiveness of this act in reducing immigration numbers. The image portrays a symbolic representation of Uncle Sam, a personification of America, standing at one end of an enormous funnel that stretches across the Atlantic Ocean. At the other end of this funnel are European immigrants attempting to enter America. However, due to discriminatory policies and political action against immigration during that period, only a mere trickle manages to pass through. The cartoon serves as both a commentary on nativist sentiments prevalent at that time and as a reflection on population control measures put in place by American authorities. It highlights how these policies aimed at limiting immigration were successful in stemming what was once considered a flood of newcomers into America. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured almost a century ago, it reminds us not only of past struggles but also prompts us to reflect upon our present-day attitudes towards immigration and its impact on society.
