Immigration Act of 1990
The Immigration Act of 1924 set immigration quotas based on nationality and limited the number of immigrants allowed into the United States.
Being subject to the 212(a)(9)(a) provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act can result in being barred from entering the United States for a certain period of time due to previous immigration violations or overstaying a visa.
The quota system in the United States was primarily established by the Immigration Act of 1924 and remained in effect until it was effectively abolished by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. This means the quota system was in place for approximately 41 years. The system aimed to limit immigration from specific countries based on national origin, significantly impacting immigration patterns during that time.
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the national origins quota system that had restricted immigration from certain countries. This legislation aimed to eliminate discriminatory practices and promote a more equitable immigration policy. It shifted the focus to family reunification and skilled immigrants, significantly changing the demographic composition of the U.S. population.
The Immigration and Naturalization Services Act of 1965 (also known as the Hart-Celler Act or the INS Act of 1965) abolished the national-origin quotas that had been in place in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1924. It was proposed by Representative Emanuel Celler and Senator Philip Hart partly in response to the Civil Rights Movement. An annual limitation of 170,000 visas was established for immigrants from Eastern Hemisphere countries with no more than 20,000 per country. By 1968, the annual limitation from the Western Hemisphere was set at 120,000 immigrants, with visas available on a first-come, first-served basis.
