Of the nearly three hundred thousand (300,000) mostly-Jewish refugees applying for visas
into America in 1938, nearly two hundred eighty thousand (280,000) were denied
visas
because America's asylum policy:
O Favored Chinese immigrants due to their perceived willingness to work on America's railroads.
Restricted Jewish immigrants due to America's nationalistic ties to Nazi Germany
O Disfavored allowing refugees into America who would likely become critical of America.
Denied entry to anyone likely to become a public charge.

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Denied entry to anyone likely to become a public charge. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ U.S. Immigration Policy in the 1930s ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ In the 1930s, the United States immigration policy was influenced by the economic turmoil of the Great Depression. The "public charge" clause, which was part of U.S. immigration law, was used to deny visas to individuals who were deemed likely to become reliant on government assistance for their livelihood. This affected many Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in Nazi Germany, as the economic conditions of the time led to heightened concerns about immigrants becoming a burden on the state. ⚹◊What impact did America's denial of visas to Jewish refugees in 1938 have on the global refugee crisis during that time period⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
