A reason given by my history textbook is that they "stimulated local economies", but if you look at the Quota Act, it's more lax on certain people, including those skilled in agriculture. Which (not being rascist here, I'm Mexican myself) Mexicans are.
The Immigration Act of 1924 restricted immigration from many European, African, and Asian countries while natives of Western Hemisphere countries, with their families, were given non-quota status.

Yes hey exempted the Western Hemisphere from the quota system
No. The Immigration Act took effect in 1924, while the attack on Pearl Harbor was in 1941.
The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 established a quota system that limited immigration to 3% of the number of foreign-born individuals from each nationality already residing in the U.S. as of the 1910 Census. This was further tightened by the National Origins Act of 1924, which reduced the quota to 2% based on the 1890 Census, favoring immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while severely restricting those from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as other regions. Together, these acts aimed to preserve the existing demographic makeup of the U.S. and were driven by nativist sentiments.
