Answered

The following quotation is from a 1905 newspaper interview with Eugene E. Schmitz,

San Francisco's mayor

"The Japanese are far more dangerous to us than the Chinese. It is my firm belief

that an exclusion act, even more stringent than the present one, should be passed in

the matter of the Japanese immigrants. The Chinese are dangerous enough, but

the Japanese would drive all competition out of business. "


Which of these do the mayor's comments foreshadow? (3 points)

1) the Great Migration

2) the Chinese Exclusion Act

3) the Gentlemen's Agreement

4) the Immigration Act of 1924



Answer :

The Immigration Act of 1924 is the event from the supplied citation that the mayor's remarks hint at.

How does foreshadowing work?

This refers to the literary device that uses predictions to provide hints or clues about events that will happen in the future. As a result, we can infer from the mayor's remarks that he discussed restraining the Chinese and Japanese because they were harmful and would eliminate all competition in the market. With this in mind, it is important to note that the Immigration Act of 1924, which eventually became law and established quotas for immigrants from Asia, served to restrict immigration from that region. Through a national origins quota, the Immigration Act of 1924 set a cap on the number of immigrants who might enter the country. Two percent of each nationality's total population in the United States as of the 1890 census was eligible for immigration visas under the quota.
