Asians!
Passed in 1924, this law placed a limit on immigration. Americans were becoming outraged at the amount of jobs they were losing to immigrants and there was also a wide-spread panic of potential spies amongst the immigrants.

Surveys had shown that the Native American population were suffering economically from the increase in immigration from Asia and North/South Europe. Therefore the act was implemented to solve this problem.
The Immigration Act of 1924 sometime referred to as the National Origins Act, limited the number of immigrants that could enter the United States to 2 percent. This act lowered the immigration allowance by 1 percent and targeted people of Asian and Eastern European descent.
The Quota Act of 1921 and the National Origins Act of 1924 were U.S. immigration laws that established restrictive quotas on the number of immigrants allowed to enter the country. The Quota Act limited immigration based on national origins, allowing only a certain percentage of immigrants from each country based on the 1890 census. The National Origins Act further tightened these restrictions, prioritizing immigrants from Northern and Western European countries while severely limiting those from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as excluding Asian immigrants altogether. These laws reflected the nativist sentiments of the time and aimed to preserve the existing demographic composition of the United States.
