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.
The Johnson-Reed Act, officially known as the Immigration Act of 1924, aimed to limit the number of immigrants allowed into the United States, particularly from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as from Asia. It established a quota system based on national origins, favoring immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, reflecting the nativist and xenophobic sentiments of the time. The act sought to preserve the racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population and significantly reduced overall immigration levels.

The Immigration Quota Act of 1921 established numerical limits on immigration to the United States, introducing a quota system based on national origins, which aimed to restrict immigration from certain countries. The National Origins Act of 1924 expanded on this by further tightening quotas and establishing a formula that favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while severely limiting those from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as virtually excluding Asians. Together, these acts reflected the nativist sentiments of the time and aimed to preserve the "racial composition" of the U.S. population.
Quota System/ National Origins Act
The national origins quota was abolished by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act. This legislation eliminated the discriminatory quota system established in the 1920s, which favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while severely limiting those from other regions. The act aimed to promote family reunification and attract skilled workers, leading to a more diverse immigration policy. This marked a significant shift in U.S. immigration law and policy.
The National Origins Act of 1924 was a law that discriminated against immigrants by limiting the amount of immigrants that could enter the US from South and Eastern Europe. The National Origins Act remained in effect until the 1960's.

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.

The two acts that established a quota system for immigrants in the United States were the Immigration Act of 1921 and the Immigration Act of 1924. The 1921 Act introduced temporary immigration quotas based on national origins, limiting immigration to 3% of the number of people from each country already residing in the U.S. as of 1910. The 1924 Act further tightened these restrictions by reducing the quota to 2% and using the 1890 census for calculations, significantly limiting immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe.
