Yes hey exempted the Western Hemisphere from the quota system
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.
