Title
English: Japanese immigration: staff member and baby, circa 1920
Description
English: For many years, the United States laws tightly restricted Asian immigration. In the 1920s, Chinese and Japanese wives of Chinese and Japanese citizens of the United States couldn't immigrate to this country, but children could enter if their fathers were legal residents. This meant problems for mothers and children traveling together. The mother might be turned away, but the child allowed to join its father.

This photo, taken in a Seattle immigration facility in the 1920s, shows a white woman looking after a Japanese baby.
