The Making of Modern Immigration: An Introduction | xxv 13. See Jane Perry Clark, Deportation of Aliens from the United States to Europe (New York: Columbia University Press, 1931). Clark reports on page nine: “Periods of war hysteria and economic depression generate a fear of sudden ruin and a desire for panaceas. In the decade from 1920 to 1930 a nostrum often advocated for the ills of the United States was the removal of aliens from the country. The numbers sent forth crept up from 2,762 in 1920 to 16,631 ten years later. Nor is the matter finished, for the Commissioner General of Immi- gration tells us “the task of house-cleaning has practically only just begun. To continue the work and do it thoroughly is the big job ahead.” 14.
