During the 1920s, multiple laws were passed that did restrict Immigration to the United States. Probably the most important of these laws was the Immigration Act of 1924 (Johnson-Reed Act). This act gave an immigration quota to each country. This quota was based on 2% of immigrants living in the US from any one country at the 1890 census. For instance, if there were 1 million immigrants from one country living in the United States in 1890, then after the Immigration Act, only 20,000 people from that country could come per year. This was down from the 3% that the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 set up. The Immigration Act was set up primarily to cap the growing number of Southern and Eastern European immigrants, as well as Asian immigrants. Contrary to what some may believe, Asians were never completely restricted from immigrating to the US, just from naturalized citizenship.
