The Immigration Act of 1917 banned homosexuals, criminals, and polygamists from entering the United States. It also banned insane people and epileptics.
Government passed the emergency quota act.
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.
The clearest cause of immigration restriction leading to the passage of the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was the widespread nativist sentiment and fear of foreigners following World War I. Many Americans believed that immigrants posed economic competition and cultural threats, particularly from Southern and Eastern Europe. The act established quotas that limited immigration based on national origins, reflecting a desire to preserve the perceived homogeneity of American society. This legislation marked a significant shift towards restrictive immigration policies in the United States.
The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 established the first immigration quota system in the United States. It limited the number of immigrants from any country to 3% of the number of residents from that country already living in the U.S. in 1910. This act significantly reduced immigration from southern and eastern European countries, as well as Asia.
The new laws in the 1920s significantly changed US immigration policy by introducing quotas and restrictions. The Immigration Act of 1921 established the first-ever numerical quotas for immigrants based on their nationality. The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, further restricted immigration by setting even stricter quotas based on the national origins of immigrants and completely banned immigration from certain regions, particularly Asia. These laws aimed to limit immigration and preserve the ethnic composition of the United States.
Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1921 on May 19, 1921. This was also known as the Johnson Act. It was the first federal law in U.S. history to limit the immigration of Europeans.

At first the American government wanted to block out all Immigration to the united states, this was when the Chinese exclusion act was signed. During 1921 the Emergency Quota Act was signed and in 1924 the immigration act was signed, this allowed a certain limit on how many immigrants were allowed in the united states.
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.
