The National Origin System was a U.S. Immigration policy established in the 1920s that aimed to limit the number of immigrants from certain countries based on their national origin. It utilized quotas that favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while severely restricting those from Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia, and other regions. This system reflected prevailing racial and ethnic biases of the time and was in effect until it was replaced by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which aimed for a more equitable immigration policy.
