The Emergency Quota Act.
The quota system in the United States was primarily established by the Immigration Act of 1924 and remained in effect until it was effectively abolished by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. This means the quota system was in place for approximately 41 years. The system aimed to limit immigration from specific countries based on national origin, significantly impacting immigration patterns during that time.
the passage of the immigration and nationality act
In 1921, Congress enacted a law limiting annual immigration to the US to 350,000 people per year. Each year, European nations could send to the US a number equal to 3 percent of its nationals who were in the US in the year 1910. In 1924, Congress amended the immigration law and reduced the number of immigrants to 150,000, and the quota to 2 percent, and the base year to 1890. This law favored immigration from nations like Great Britain, but discriminated against central and eastern European nations like Poland, Russia and Syria. This became known as the Quota System.
