Anti-Germanism in the United States during the Great War was widespread. Why did the Immigration Acts of 1917 and 1924 target Asian immigrants so heavily but not the then demonized Germans?

[February 5th, 1917] The American Immigration Act of 1917 passes through congress and becomes law, overriding President Wilson's veto.
My grandfather went from illegal immigrant to legal....thanks to the Immigration Act of 1917. How did that work?
My grandfather was born in the country of Jamaica, and in 1924 he got a job on a cargo ship. Once the ship arrived in the US, he jumped ship and stayed behind. I found a document from years later listing him under "aliens whose entries were legalized under section 19(C) of the Immigration Act of 1917, as amended." I found a bit of info on section 19(C) and it seems that if an illegal alien managed to avoid deportation for 7 years, they would then become legally naturalized. So what I'm wondering is-- generally how did one prove they were here for at least 7 years? And why would a law that seems pretty tough on aliens, allow such a big loophole? And finally, is it possible that somewhere there is a file deep in a cabinet in a vast warehouse with his case info?

Why did the Immigration Act of 1917 bar people using straight lines that ran through the middle of central China and subdivided Hainan?
The exclusion zone seems just as arbitrary when it comes to dividing Central Asia from Siberia.
Why create these straight line divisions, rather than say barring people from provinces or countries, or simply barring people on racial grounds, which I understand was the impetus behind the act in the first place?
Someone on 4chan suggested that it had something to do with French influence in southwest China.

What if the "Chinese Exclusion Act" doesn't happen & Immigration Act of 1917, 1924?.
Before I begin, I'd like to remind you what these 3 acts were about before I begin my what if scenario,
>Chinese Exclusion Act, it was an act which was an immigration law that prevented Chinese nationals from eligibility for United States citizenship
>
>The Immigration Act of 1917 is basically, the Immigration act of 1917 was a policy that was dubbed "Asiatic Barred Zone" which restricted immigration from the Asia-Pacific zone.
>
>And lastly, the Immigration Act of 1924 was aimed primarily at Japanese nationals. Even though it barred immigrants from Asia, primarily Japan, Philippines was not included because it was a U.S colony at that time, thus U.S Nationals.

Now that you know about these 3 immigration acts, what if all three of those acts weren't passed. In fact, it didn't even come to anyone's mind about imposing such act. Considering that this was in the East coast of the U.S, how much of a large demographic shift are we going to see in the U.S? what is the population going to be like? is California different? and if you're being kind, does this also effect our politics.?

The Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917
Hello, I’m a high school student doing a history project on the Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917. I am struggling to find sources for my essay and was hoping that I could get some help.
With the passing of the 1917 Minnesota Sedition Act, the Commission of Public Safety scrutinized the state's immigrant population. It targeted German Americans, compelled teachers to instruct exclusively in English, and required non-citizens to register their property and report family data.

If Russia avoids Communism in 1917 & helps Greece fulfill the Megali Idea after the end of World War I in exchange for unlimited Russian/Slavic immigration into Constantinople & Greek Anatolia, just how many Russians/Slavs do you think would have actually moved there over the next several decades?
If Russia avoids Communism in 1917 (having Kerensky cooperate with Kornilov in regards to crushing the Bolsheviks might be one way of doing this) & helps Greece fulfill the Megali Idea after the end of World War I in exchange for unlimited Russian/Slavic immigration into Constantinople & Greek Anatolia, just how many Russians/Slavs do you think would have actually moved there over the next several decades?
TIL that with the 1917 Immigration Act: Mexicans were exempt from anti-immigration laws so that they could provide labor.

Using the newly passed Espionage Act of 1917 as justification, the Department of Justice began a series of raids of Industrial Workers of the World meeting halls on this day in 1917, arresting 165 people, including "Big Bill" Haywood.
End the 1917 Espionage Act. Violation of the 1917 Espionage Act is the law that Julian Assange faces if he is extradited to the US from England. If found guilty of the charges under this violation.....For what? many people ask. This is where it gets tricky. The 1917 Espionage Act is vague.

This Day in Buster… April 23, 1917 “The Butcher Boy,” Buster Keaton’s movie debut, is released. A new broom sweeps clean, they say, and it’s a nice touch that the familiar prop of his vaudeville act was the first thing he reached for as he walked into the frame.
