Waves of Immigrants
New Kinds of People. Toward the end of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth century, millions of immigrants came to America and added a great richness to American life. American attitudes toward immigration have swung from open arms to closed doors and back. From time to time nativist movements would grow, and immigrants would be persecuted. At the end of World War I, for example, immigration was sharply reduced. By the early 1970's however, immigration laws were relaxed once again, and new waves of immigrants came to make their own contributions to American life.
