The origins of the new immigrants were mostly from Russia. The Russian-Jews came after the assassination of Alexander II.
National origins Act of 1924
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.
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 This superseded the 1921 Emergency Quota Act.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 total number of immigrants coming to America could not exceed 150,000 in any year.

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.
