The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act, established quotas that severely limited immigration from certain countries, particularly those in Southern and Eastern Europe, and essentially barred immigration from Asia. The law implemented a national origins quota system that allocated visas based on the percentage of each nationality present in the U.S. as of the 1890 census. This legislation was driven by nativist sentiments and aimed to preserve the racial composition of the United States.
