Johnson Act of 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 This superseded the 1921 Emergency Quota Act.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.
The Chinese immigration act limited immigration from China in 1882. It provided an absolute 10 year moratorium on Chinese immigration. In 1924 the immigration act was passed to limit the number of immigrants allowed into the United States. The quota provided immigration visas to two percent of the total number of people in the 1890 census. This was called the Johnson-Reed Act.
The Johnson read immigration act of 1924 did not establish quotas of any kind for residents.

Johnson Act of 1924
In 1921 and 1924, Congress implemented immigration restrictions that targeted immigrants from Asia, effectively barring immigration from the entire region. The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, established quotas that severely limited the number of immigrants from countries outside Western Europe and excluded Asian immigrants altogether. This legislation reflected the nativist sentiments of the time and aimed to preserve the racial composition of the United States.

The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, established quotas that severely limited immigration from certain countries, particularly those in Southern and Eastern Europe, and essentially barred immigration from Asia. The law implemented a national origins quota system that allocated visas based on the percentage of each nationality present in the U.S. as of the 1890 census. This legislation was driven by nativist sentiments and aimed to preserve the racial composition of the United States.
