    • Abstract:
      The article deals with the British Aliens Act of 1905 which introduced immigration controls and one of its main objectives was to control Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe. Topics discussed include the expulsion of Jews from Russia in the 19th century, the clandestine and perilous journey undertaken by Jews leaving the Russian empire, and arguments against Jewish immigration into Great Britain.
