The massive waves of immigration from Eastern Europe and Italy during the decades between 1880 to 1910 prompt concern that the growing immigrant population is creating social problems for the United States Although there is wide disagreement on how to respond, there is pressure to close the nation's gates--pressure that results in the enactment of restrictive quotas after World War I. Controversy also develops over how immigrants should be assimilated, with three quite different approaches vying for top honors: the Anglo-Saxon conformity or supremacy approach, the melting pot theory, and cultural pluralism.
