This paper analyzes the root of anti-immigration sentiments that existed in the Progressive Era, and the struggle that took place over the immigration question between immigration proponents and anti immigration reformists. The paper keens in on the US Immigration Commission's role in the debate. This paper argues that the Immigration Commission's anti-immigrant bias in it's reports compelled congress to pass the most sweeping immigration restrictionist policies in the history of the United States. The passage of these laws symbolized the victory of anti-immigration reformists over immigration proponets of the Progressive Era.
