Immigration was a prominent issue during the Truman era. Indeed, several significant laws were enacted at this time. These included the War Brides Act of 1945, the Displaced Persons Acts of 1948 and 1950, the Internal Security Act of 1950, the Immigration and Nationality (McCarran-Walter) Act of 1952, and some momentous measures relating to Mexican agricul- tural labour and the so-called wetback problem. Particularly noteworthy were the Displaced Persons Acts, which constituted the "first significant refugee legislation in American history" (Higham 1975, 61) and the Mc- Carran-Walter Act, which marked the end of the "long postwar debate over the nature of American immigration policy" (Divine 1957, 185-86)
