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 This superseded the 1921 Emergency Quota Act.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.
No. The Immigration Act took effect in 1924, while the attack on Pearl Harbor was in 1941.
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 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.
