Why was the Johnson-Reed Immigration Act passed in 1924?

The Immigration Act of 1924 (Johnson-Reed Act) included the National Origins Act, and Asian Exclusion Act. It was a US federal law that limited the number of immigrants allowed to enter the US. The number of eligible immigrants was set at 2% of the number of people from that country who were already living in the US (according to the 1890 Census). This had the effect of effectively cutting off the flow of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, who were then fewer in number, and allowing large numbers from northern and western Europe. The Asian Exclusion Act excluded immigrants from Japan, China, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia, as they were ineligible for citizenship. This superseded the 1921 Emergency Quota Act. The act set no limits on immigration from Latin America.

Are the people of United States of America ready to welcome anyone into their country?

The United States of America does not allow unlimited immigration, there are various rules about who is allowed to enter the country as a resident, and other rules about who is allowed to enter as a visitor. So no, America is not ready to welcome anyone, although in general it does have a history of welcoming immigrants, and to a large degree (with the exception of Native Americans) it is a nation of immigrants and the descendants of immigrants.
