The quota system for immigrants in the United States was established by the Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson-Reed Act. This legislation set strict limits on the number of immigrants allowed from each country, favoring northern and western European nations while severely restricting immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, as well as Asia. The quota system remained in effect until it was abolished by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.

The arguments for the quota system are that new immigrants are a threat to the future, New immigrants are difficult to integrate, little land remains for immigrants, American society will be strained by clashes of cultures. Againtst quota system would be that immigrants are not a threat, The languege barrier does not imply menta inferiority, They will be lured by the oppurtunity in America and will work hard.
The system which places numerical limits on immigration is the "Quota System".
The quota system set a limit on how many immigrants from each country could enter the U.S. every year. The main goal of the quota system was to limit immigration.
