 As a result, the Issei were unable to vote and faced additional restrictions such as the inability to own land under many state laws.Due to these restrictions, Japanese immigration to the United States between 1931-1950 only totaled 3,503 which is strikingly low compared to the totals of 46,250 people in 1951–1960, 39,988 in 1961-70, 49,775 in 1971-80, 47,085 in 1981-90, and 67,942 in 1991-2000.Because no new immigrants from Japan were permitted after 1924, all pre-war Japanese Americans born after this time were born in the United States.
