Well, yeah. So I'm sure, you know, the Nisei generation, they're born here in the United States. They're sort of caught in between their parents, you know, culture and the culture that they were sort of born into here in the U.S. But, you know, they know that as because they were born here in the United States, they have certain rights as citizens.

So I think they felt like, well, you know, something maybe could happen to my parents because they're not citizens. But, you know, we have rights and they should be protected. And that turned out to not be the case later on.

So at that point in 1924, something fundamental happens here. The 1924 Immigration Act is passed. This is driven by largely nativist concerns of Euro-American, Anglo-Saxon type populations saying enough. We're not going to deal with this anymore. We are bringing down the hammer on all this immigration. And I'm like, as I even say these words, boy, does it sound familiar.

I mean, this is the theme that is almost generational at this point in America, where people just start to say this. And let's describe and explain exactly what the 1924 Immigration Act was meant to do.

The 1924 Immigration Act was meant to halt immigration from Japan sort of indefinitely. It's very similar to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. It had the same effect on this ethnic group. And, you know, it's all because there was the sense that there are too many immigrants like from Japan flooding like the West Coast.

The groups that are behind this, very supportive, the likes of which are Ku Klux Klan and those sorts of organizations are driving this whole thing under the guise of labor concerns and economic concerns is really xenophobia.

Exactly. I'm glad you brought up that term xenophobia. Yeah, because I think we're hearing that a lot today in current events. And so it really echoes, you know, this time period in the 1920s, especially in 1924. But I mean, it just goes against, you know, what this country was founded on. And it touted, you know, diversity and being this refuge for immigrants.
