We conclude our fieldwork trip in eastern Pennsylvania with an excerpt from an interview with a descendant of migrants from Alaçati that shows the impacts of restrictionist immigration policy. His paternal grandparents’ migration experience begins with the departure of his grandfather from Smyrna to escape conscription. He returned to Greece to be married, and the newlyweds traveled to New York together in 1923. Upon arrival at Ellis Island, they learned that the quota for Greeks and Turks had been exhausted, and they could not enter the US. Without any recourse, the family traveled to Mexico, where they waited for the quota to replenish. While there, two family members died and are buried in Mexico at an unknown location. With the replenished quota in place, the rest of the family entered the US two years later.
