In 1917, Congress passed the Literacy Test Act over President Wilson's veto, aimed at restricting immigration by requiring literacy tests for those entering the U.S. This was driven by nativist sentiments and aimed to control the demographic composition of immigrants. The Act eventually faced criticism and was abolished with the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
