The Red Scare and the National Origins Act are related through their reflection of the prevailing fears and societal attitudes in the United States during the early 20th century. The Red Scare, particularly after World War I, was marked by a widespread fear of communism and radical leftism, leading to heightened suspicion of immigrants and leftist ideologies. The National Origins Act of 1924 established restrictive Immigration quotas aimed primarily at limiting the influx of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as Asia, which were viewed as potential sources of radicalism. Both phenomena illustrate the era's xenophobia and the desire to maintain a homogeneous national identity in response to perceived threats.
The Quota Act of 1921 and the National Origins Act of 1924 were U.S. immigration laws that established restrictive quotas on the number of immigrants allowed to enter the country. The Quota Act limited immigration based on national origins, allowing only a certain percentage of immigrants from each country based on the 1890 census. The National Origins Act further tightened these restrictions, prioritizing immigrants from Northern and Western European countries while severely limiting those from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as excluding Asian immigrants altogether. These laws reflected the nativist sentiments of the time and aimed to preserve the existing demographic composition of the United States.
