Congress passed the emergency Quota Act
The U.S. issued The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 which limited the total number of immigrants allowed into the country. It also favored immigrants from western Europe. So the change was that instead of all immigrants coming in at once, it was limited. This affected the U.S. because, simply, it caused a dramatic drop in immigration to the U.S.
The goal was to cut sharply European immigration to the United States.
The new laws in the 1920s significantly changed US immigration policy by introducing quotas and restrictions. The Immigration Act of 1921 established the first-ever numerical quotas for immigrants based on their nationality. The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, further restricted immigration by setting even stricter quotas based on the national origins of immigrants and completely banned immigration from certain regions, particularly Asia. These laws aimed to limit immigration and preserve the ethnic composition of the United States.
In 1921, Congress enacted a law limiting annual immigration to the US to 350,000 people per year. Each year, European nations could send to the US a number equal to 3 percent of its nationals who were in the US in the year 1910. In 1924, Congress amended the immigration law and reduced the number of immigrants to 150,000, and the quota to 2 percent, and the base year to 1890. This law favored immigration from nations like Great Britain, but discriminated against central and eastern European nations like Poland, Russia and Syria. This became known as the Quota System.
no it is not right to limit immigration because we will have least opportunities.

In 1921 the US set restrictions on immigration. This dramatically slowed immigration growth. One result of this was seen in New York City. There foreign born persons began to represent a declining share of NYC's population.

The enactment of a quota system
Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1921 on May 19, 1921. This was also known as the Johnson Act. It was the first federal law in U.S. history to limit the immigration of Europeans.
The U.S. issued The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 which limited the total number of immigrants allowed into the country. It also favored immigrants from western Europe. So the change was that instead of all immigrants coming in at once, it was limited. This affected the U.S. because, simply, it caused a dramatic drop in immigration to the U.S.

The Immigration Act of 1924 limited the number of people who could immigrate to the United States. It set the quota for any country to be 2 percent of the number of people already from that country who were living in the U.S.
To this day there has always been immigration to the US
