120. You're assuming a lot...
The US did nothing during the late 1930's and early 1940's to save Jewish lives, so once again what you say could have been offered in the 1920's very well may have been off the table a decade or 2 later with a different administration and pressure from antisemitic groups (they weren't afraid of being open antisemites back then) questioning why Jews should get preferential immigration treatment over any other oppressed group. History shows nations that were at one time good to Jews turned later on.

I'd also like to believe millions could have been saved by going to the USA back in the 1920's and 1930's but unfortunately millions of Jews weren't looking to relocate to a safer place back then.
