ON this date in 1917 - The U.S. Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917 (Asiatic Barred Zone Act) with an overwhelming majority.

The action overrode President Woodrow Wilson's December 14, 1916 veto.

Congressmen were beside themselves w/ glee over this action.

Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple from the Great State of Utah only chuckled as they knew this would not solve the immigration issue.
