Answer and Explanation:

1. America has withdrawn quotas for foreigners to enter the country, in addition to improving its economic condition since that time until today. This can be seen in the text, at the moment when the author states that because of the great depression, Americans and foreigners who were already in the country were afraid of having to compete for the few jobs available with the refugee Jews. In addition, the text states "Immigration policy at the time set numerical quotas for how many people could come to the US from various parts of the world." As we know, currently these quotas do not exist and the economic condition of the USA has improved a lot.

2. The USA has still done little for refugees, moreover, the government has done little to diminish the xenophobia and regulation that refugees entering the country receive, for this reason, we can say that the American positioning towards refugees does it is so different, although many elements have changed.
