Groups that had immigrated before 1890 had larger quotas
The primary limiting factor for Jews to immigrate to the United States was simply the will and cost of immigrating. After that, the next largest impediment was the quotas set up by the US in the 1920s to bar Eastern and Central European immigration (which also included Jews among Germans, Poles, Ukrainians, Czechs, and Slovaks).
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.

If I know my history (and I hope I do know some), I don't believe America ever "stopped" allowing Jews to enter America, but they did have quotas that filled up quickly. But I've never heard that America made the decision to forbid Jewish immigration.___Agreed. The quotas were based entirely on country of birth, and so the quota for people born in Germany filled up very quickly. It was not a 'Jewish quota'.
At the time there was no right to asylum in the modern sense, and refugees had to enter the U.S. (and most other countries) as ordinary immigrants under the usual immigration procedures. Since the early 1920s immigration to the U.S. had been strictly controlled with quotas for the number of people to be admitted from each country, and these quotas (or maxima) were rigidly enforced. Anyone wishing to migrate to the U.S. had to have prior permission, within the quota, to enter the country. The passengers on the St Louis did not meet these requirements. They had originally expected to land in Cuba. There were some attempts to get extra quotas for refugees from Germany, but these attempts got nowhere. It is generally held that antisemtism was a significant factor, in the background, anyway.

Then countries would set up immigration boards and border patrols.
King Leopold set up quotas in the Congo Free State to extract maximum resources such as ivory and rubber, leading to brutal exploitation of the local population. Quotas were used to ensure high productivity and profits for Leopold's personal gain, resulting in widespread human rights abuses and atrocities.
During the 1920s, multiple laws were passed that did restrict immigration to the United States. Probably the most important of these laws was the Immigration Act of 1924 (Johnson-Reed Act). This act gave an immigration quota to each country. This quota was based on 2% of immigrants living in the US from any one country at the 1890 census. For instance, if there were 1 million immigrants from one country living in the United States in 1890, then after the Immigration Act, only 20,000 people from that country could come per year. This was down from the 3% that the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 set up. The Immigration Act was set up primarily to cap the growing number of Southern and Eastern European immigrants, as well as Asian immigrants. Contrary to what some may believe, Asians were never completely restricted from immigrating to the US, just from naturalized citizenship. (Information from Wikipedia)
