Professor of history Gary Gerstle explains that immigration to the United States was relatively low during the period between 1924 and 1965. There were strict limits placed on the number of those who could come to the U.S. during those years, although this did not apply to European refugees who were displaced by Hitler, nor did it apply to anyone living in the western hemisphere. Professor Gerstle explains that this led to an enormous influx of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans during the 1940's and 1950's.
