The new Immigration laws passed in the 1920s, such as the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the Immigration Act of 1924 (National Origins Act), were implemented to restrict and limit the number of immigrants entering the United States. These laws were largely driven by nativist sentiments, economic concerns, and fears of losing traditional American values due to the influx of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. The laws favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while severely limiting immigration from other regions.
The new laws in the 1920s, such as the Quota Acts of 1921 and 1924, established immigration quotas based on nationality, favoring Northern and Western European immigrants while limiting Southern and Eastern European immigration.

The number of new laws passed each year varies greatly depending on the country and level of government. In the United States, for example, hundreds of laws can be passed in a single year at the federal level, while at the state and local levels the number can be even higher. It's important to note that not all laws passed in a year are new, as some may be amendments or repeals of existing laws.

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.
