Oh cool, another attempt to blame the US Immigration Act of 1924 for the deaths of Jews in the Holocaust. As usual, it ignores the fact that German Jews (i.e., those presumably most aware of the bad things the Nazis were doing) were largely unaffected by the law and still didn't choose to emigrate to the United States.
