The 1921 Emergency Quota Act and the 1924 Immigration Act were the first laws since the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1884 that blocked or limited immigrant by law. Different quotas were put on different immigrant groups. Because they had not had substantial representation in America prior to 1890, groups like the Polish and Italians were given very small quotas.

During the 1920s Congress put limitations on Immigration. The limitations slowed down the influx of millions of immigrants. 40 million people immigrated to the United States between 1880 and 1920.

At first the American government wanted to block out all Immigration to the united states, this was when the Chinese exclusion act was signed. During 1921 the Emergency Quota Act was signed and in 1924 the immigration act was signed, this allowed a certain limit on how many immigrants were allowed in the united states.
It was the 1920s not the 1910s and it was the Ku Klux Klan who were and still are hostile to Jews, Catholics and African-Americans.
After the high cost of World War I, citizens viewed Europe as conflict prone and felt they would likely draw the US into numerous, unnecessary wars if allowed to. The United States set limits on European immigration in the 1920â??s with Quota Acts that reduced the numbers of immigrants allowed to immigrate to the US based on totals and percentiles from the dates the US began receiving immigrants from those countries. In addition, high tariffs were set to keep foreign products out .
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were Italian immigrants that were accused of robbery and murder during the Red Scare of the 1920s.
