2. Why didn't the U.S. abolish its immigration quotas to let Jewish refugees to enter the country after the war?

O There were many other nations, much closer to Europe, that would take Jewish refugees in.
O They denied that the Holocaust had happened, and said Jews had no reason to leave Europe.
Their anti-Semitism made them reluctant to allow Jews to become Americans.
Most Jewish refugees wanted to go to Palestine, and Americans supported that choice.

Answer:

Their anti-Semitism made them reluctant to allow Jews to become Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Americans rejected the Holocaust, but a long-standing tradition of open anti-Semitism in the U.S. meant that many Americans still did not want more Jews to enter the country. It was wrong to kill Jews because of their religion, they said, but they justified other forms of discrimination.
