The National Origins Act of 1924 established strict quotas that severely limited Immigration from Eastern and Southern Europe by setting immigration caps based on the national origins of the U.S. population as recorded in the 1890 census. This favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while effectively barring those from Eastern and Southern Europe, whose numbers were significantly reduced. Additionally, the Act completely excluded immigrants from Asia, including China, by implementing a total ban on immigration from that region. This legislation reflected the era's nativist sentiments and aimed to preserve the existing demographic composition of the United States.

Europeans were referred to as "new immigrants" primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when a significant wave of migrants arrived in the United States from Southern and Eastern Europe. This influx contrasted with earlier waves of immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, leading to the distinction. The term reflected not only their different national origins but also cultural, religious, and social differences, which often sparked nativist sentiments among established populations. As a result, new immigrants faced unique challenges in assimilation and acceptance within American society.

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.

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 quotas under the national origins system limited the number of immigrants allowed from each country based on their population in the United States in 1920. This system favored immigrants from Northern and Western European countries and restricted those from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as Asia. This led to a significant decrease in immigration from certain regions and favored immigrants from others, shaping the demographic composition of the United States.

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.
