Surveys had shown that the Native American population were suffering economically from the increase in immigration from Asia and North/South Europe. Therefore the act was implemented to solve this problem.
Washington, D. C., Mar. 22 (JTA) - President Hoover today issued the proclamation provided by the Immigration Law calling into effect the National Origins Clause of the Immigration Act July 1, 1929. Together with the proclamation, the President at a press conference today issued the following statement: "The Attorney General has advised me in the failure of Congress to suspend action, it is now mandatory upon me under the Immigration Act to issue the proclamation establishing 'National Origins' as the basis of immigration quotas. The proclamation must be issued prior to April 1, and will be issued at once. It will go into effect July 1, unless action is taken by Congress in the meantime. "While I am strongly in favor of restricted and selected immigration, I have opposed the 'National Origins' basis. I therefore naturally dislike the duty of issuing the proclamation, installing the new basis, but the President of the United States must be the first to obey the law." http://archive.jta.org/article/1929/03/24/2776137/hoover-issues-national-origins-proclamation-but-expresses-his-opposition

The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the National Origins Act, significantly limited immigration into the United States by setting strict quotas based on national origin. The law aimed to restrict Southern and Eastern European immigration while favoring immigration from Western European countries. This legislation marked a shift towards more restrictive immigration policies in the U.S.
they all limited immigration into the united states.
There is little difference except mastic means 'from plant origins'.
The xenophobia characteristic of the late 1910s and 1920s influenced the development of the National Origins Act immigration policies.
The Immigration Act of 1924 sometime referred to as the National Origins Act, limited the number of immigrants that could enter the United States to 2 percent. This act lowered the immigration allowance by 1 percent and targeted people of Asian and Eastern European descent.
When you have a quota, not as many people are allowed in. This will keep diversity to a minimum but allows the citizens to get the jobs and the benefits of the country.
